Anurag Batra says that the Business world
is a Business Media platform but business recycling also has an impact on the
environment and as we move towards sustainability, the last 21 months have
taught us that all of us are more connected and what happened in one part of
the world impacts all of us. He thinks the value of sustainability and
recycling is becoming more and more important and each stakeholder is taking
his or her duty of contributing to a better greener environmentand to a greener
economy that is sustainable over time.The recycling summit for a greener
tomorrow is an initiative by the BW business world in that direction to be able
to contribute to the consciousness of recycling and sustainability. People
today can understand the recycling domain and the business domain.When broadly contextualised,
we don’t think of recycling as a business and we don’t think that recycling can
be done in many forms and with many materials, says Anurag Batra. Thebiggest
recycling material is the second most important item, which is aluminium.It is
the second most recycled metal globally.Aluminiumcans, industrial scrap and
household aluminium are good propositions for creating a business by aluminium recycling.
Anurag Batra ranks battery as the next big
opportunity.Batteries can be broken down into 7 basic identities lead acids,
carbon-zinc, alkaline NMIAH,NICAD,lithium-ion and zinc.All these have good
market in terms of recycling.
The other is bookbinding and repair.Old and
broken bookbindingis a good business to start from home. A lot of people have
started it from home and selling them to printing offices. Next, is the cartridges
used for printing.Nowadays people use printers a lot so cartridges have become
an important part of our life,especially in a business environment. cartridge
refilling businesses are about providing ink and toner cartridge refilling
service to your client instead of buying a new one. it is also beneficial for
the environment as it contributes to reducing e-waste.
Construction waste like
wood,nails,screws,plaster, drywall concrete rocks, ceramic tiles,flooring,particleboard
electrical wires so on can be recycled and used.Construction waste is another
item for recycling. Electric wires are conducting material wrapped in plastic
insulation. The most common metal use electric wires copper and aluminium. So
from electric wires recycling can be done and it can be in the plastic format
of polymer.
Most of the hotel restaurants have cooking
oil in the kitchens.It is collected and is used in recycling. The major
recycling material is e-waste and a lot of people are doing therecycling of
it.Then comes,gold,the eco-friendly paper which is being used by a lot
ofenvironmentally conscious people. Plastic, tyre, used children’sclothing,
wood recycling etc can be done.
The point Anurag Batra is trying to make is,
in our everyday lives, in our business and work, there are opportunities forrecycling.If
we take a count there are almost 100 recycling start ups in India. Thereare large
businesses that have been built around recycling but recycling is not just a business.It
is a way to make social impact and to make sure that we make our environment
more sustainable.
Anurag Batra also use this opportunity to highlight
that the second edition of the BW business world, India’s most sustainable
companies in association with sustain labs Paris will be again coming out this year.It
is already conducting the jurymeetand will validate the sustain labs Paris
research findingsand will bring out the India’s most sustainable ranking. BW
business world are doing are bit to make sure that amongst ecosystem they are
able to bring out matrix that reward companies that make sustainability and
recycling part of their business strategy.
