Adani Cement’s waste management arm, Geoclean, enables a green economy for Ambujanagar, Gujarat, by safely managing solid and liquid wastes and diverting them from landfills, leading to resource conservation. The plant with a thermal substitution rate of 8 per cent at Ambujanagar in Kodinar, Gujarat, has enabled the state to mitigate the challenges of plastic waste pollution by co-processing both solid and
liquid waste provided by the state government, state pollution control board, and industries.
The plant assists numerous paper industries that produce significant amounts of plastic waste in Vapi as well as various chemical, pharmaceutical, and other sectors in Dahej, Ankleshwar, Surat, and Vadodara. Some of the waste streams co-processed at the plant include sorted plastic waste, trade rejects, refused derived fuel (RDF), industrial waste (sludges, liquid and solid waste), etc. In order to efficiently use waste in kiln co-processing, Geoclean is a leader in the field and has established 6 pre-processing facilities and 14 co-processing locations throughout India. Every year, Geoclean processes more than 13,00,000 tonnes of waste across the country. These facilities have specialised waste storage spaces, feeding setups, and state-of-the-art laboratories.
