My OperaManage waste the BCIL way

Reduce material use should be the mantra of all construction companies say the people working for BCIL. All the excessive quarrying done will come back to haunt us. T-Zed residents take just 30 per cent of their water from Bangalore’s municipality. All rainwater is collected and flows along the contour of the land. There are 44 rainwater percolation wells that are interconnected. The water leads to a 400,000 litre water tank located beneath a road behind the housing complex. The water is purified in a central reverse osmosis system. A high-pressure pneumatic system pumps water to each apartment. Grey water is supplied for gardens, toilets and for washing cars. All sewage is treated in-house. Biodegradable waste is fed into a biogas digester of 150 kg capacity. Since T-Zed residents produce only 60 kg of such waste each day, they have set up a Green Council and invited two other residential enclaves to dump their kitchen waste into their biogas digester.
