Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Kolkata Divisional Office and Retail Sales Department, West Bengal in collaboration with Kolkata based e-waste and plastic waste management company Hulladek Recycling Private Limited has launched the “Freedom from E-waste” campaign for petrol pumps to celebrate the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiative.
The initiative was launched by Pritish
Bharat, Executive Director and State Head, West Bengal State Office, Indian Oil
Corporation Limited, Manas Routray, GM (Retail Sales), West Bengal State
Office, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Tahseen Rayaz, Divisional Retail Sales
Head, Kolkata Divisional Office, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Chiranjib
Poddar, DGM (Retail Sales), West Bengal State Office, Indian Oil Corporation
Limited and SP Mall, Chairman, Hulladek Recycling Private Limited.
Supported by Hulladek Recycling,
Indian Oil has installed e-waste bins for waste collection from petrol pump
staff as well as their customers. The idea behind this initiative is to
inculcate “Swachh Bhavna” in individuals visiting the petrol pumps. Hulladek
Recycling will be collecting the waste from these ROs once their bins are full
and will be channelizing it to authorized recyclers.
The campaign has been launched in six
retail outlets of Kolkata for now: Prince Service Station, Prince Anwar Shah
Road, Jodhpur Park, Uma Service Station, Dhakuria, Bypass Service Station,
Kasba, COCO, Kasba, Mira Service Station, New Town, Ganeriwala Brothers,
Opposite City Centre – II.
People can drop off their old,
broken, outdated and obsolete electronic items like TV, refrigerator, washing
machine, mobile phones, wires and cables in designated bins to ensure it goes
for safe and certified recycling.
Indian Oil customers and channel
partners were educated on the hazardous impact of improper e-waste disposal on
human health as well as the environment.
S.P Mall, Chairman, Hulladek
Recycling Private Limited, said, “We are glad to see corporations like IOCL
taking initiatives to save our earth and create a green future. With the vision
to make Kolkata e-waste free, Hulladek Recycling is all set to paint the town
green by establishing proper channels of e-waste management.”
