We studied how many of the Top Indian companies report their recycling initiatives. Recycling helps us reduce our reliance on raw materials and minimize the impact of waste on the environment. The risks of waste disposals are enormous to both health and biodiversity, and history teaches us that many catastrophic events were an outcome of indiscriminate waste disposal.
This study reviewed the Top 300 companies in India and their recycling strategies. Data shows that Indian companies are yet to take any significant waste and water recycling measures. Only 1/3rd of the companies had a strategy in place, and only a handful of companies disclose their recycling numbers. Low disclosures remain a bane, and existing disclosures do not paint a pretty picture.
