Our Roadmap To Sustainable Quality and Excellence
At Gemscab, we’ve adopted numerous sustainable procedures. Our three windmills have a combined capacity of 2.85 MW and produce about 3,700,000 units of electricity a year. Furthermore, our rooftop solar power plant, which has a capacity of 704 KWp, generates approximately 900,000 units of electricity annually. Additionally, we intend to increase the capacity of our solar plant by 750 KWp.
In order to minimize our carbon footprint and further reduce our impact on the environment, diesel-powered boilers have been replaced with gas-powered boilers. Furthermore, energy-efficient compressors have been installed, and all machine drives have been modified from DC to AC. Moreover, to achieve a power factor of 0.99 and higher, we have also installed capacitor banks in our APFC panel and replaced conventional AC units with energy-efficient inverter-technology Air Conditioners.
Leveraging recycled water for cable cooling during extrusion and installing zero discharge facilities and water harvesting systems at both of our manufacturing facilities are all examples of how we priorities water conservation.
We have significantly improved our infrastructure by replacing asbestos and cement plant sheds with aluminum sheets, installing transparent roof sheets for natural light and ventilation, and installing LED lights throughout our plants. We have transitioned to using battery-operated handling equipment for internal transportation, reducing our reliance on fossil fuel-powered machinery.
We ensure responsible environmental management by upholding pollution standards and implementing emission-reduction plans. Our masterbatches are lead-free and RoHS-compliant, demonstrating that our dedication to sustainability extends to the materials we use. We place a high priority on ethical sourcing and only buy raw materials from non-conflict areas. Both hazardous and non-hazardous waste are disposed of properly, with hazardous waste specifically disposed of through licensed dealers and processors.
By embracing computerization and digitalization, we are lowering our paper consumption. By implementing digital workflows and reducing paper usage across all of our operations, we hope to eventually create a paperless workplace. As an integral part of our sustainability efforts, we actively participate in tree plantation practices, diligently planting saplings within our factory premises and in neighboring communities. We take immense pride in the lush green environment created by the presence of over 500 trees encircling our plant, symbolizing our commitment to environmental preservation and community well-being.
Our various stakeholders are working together to make a brighter tomorrow. Policies on Climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste reduction are being adopted across the organization. GEMSCAB has implemented LCA to identify opportunities for improvement and inform decision-making to minimize environmental burdens and promote sustainability.
