Waste Diversion Away From Landfill
Integrating Circularity in Developments
Residential
Our commitment to sustainability drives us to manage waste responsibly across every stage of our projects. With the ambitious goal of achieving Net Zero Waste by 2030, we aim to ensure that minimal to no waste ends up in landfills. This involves embedding circularity into the entire lifecycle of an asset from demolition and design to construction and occupancy by promoting reuse, recycling, and responsible management.
Our waste management strategy:
- Designing for minimal waste
- Waste reduction during operations
- Reuse and repurpose
- Investing in circular economy practices
- Monitoring and reporting
- Collaboration and stakeholder engagement
- Comprehensive waste management
| Design Stage | Construction and Demolition Stage | Occupancy Stage |

Product (residential homes)
Design for:- Resource Recovery Centre (Material Recovery Facility) within the site – for secondary waste segregation
- Organic waste composting unit within the site
- Partnership with authorised recyclers for treatment of recyclables
| Project office, sales gallery, and site
Design for:- Provision of organic waste composters/composting pots on-site
- Partner with authorised recycling vendors
- Reuse of construction waste as per feasibility within the project
- Take NOC from the local municipality to send C&D debris to their processing plant, and use the processed waste (20%) within the project
Plotted developments (common areas within them developed by us)
- Provision of organic waste composters/composting pots on-site
- Partner with authorised recycling vendors
| Product (residential homes)
- Provision of waste bins (dry and wet waste) for every household unit for primary waste segregation (at source)
- 100% organic waste composting on-site
- >95% diversion of recyclables from landfill
- 100% recycling of e-waste
