BCIL’s central principles
Friday, May 9, 2008 3:21:50 AM
Central to the idea of every community at BCIL, we create are the following:
* We do not import power. We offer localized power generation solutions, and these solutions are based on renewable sources of feedstock.
* We do not import water. We have configured a combination of green and physical storage options that will ensure groundwater recharging. We reduce the use of freshwater with daily reuse of black & gray water. We install a variety of water-saving devices that combine urban comforts with substantial freshwater savings.
* We handle the disposal or treatment of all waste generated in every community. Degradable wastes are used for vermicomposting, and non-degradables like plastic, metals and clinical waste are either put in landfills or given to agencies that specialize in their recycling or disposal.
* The community gets involved. They do not view themselves as 'customers'; instead, they participate in as many aspects as they can.
