Segregation Of Waste for Recycling and Treatment (S.O.R.T.)

Project Segregation Of Waste for Recycling and Treatment (S.O.R.T.) is the flagship project of Motherson Group under its CSR initiative run by Swarn Lata Motherson Trust (SLMTT), which is implemented by Indian Pollution Control Association. The project has successfully been implemented at more than 286 locations in Delhi NCR (including Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Mumbai and Pune). The Project was first implemented in Delhi-NCR in the year 2018 and now, has reached in its fifth phase. The project was conceptualized with the aim to promote source segregation of waste followed by maximum recovery through onsite treatment of organic waste. Creating awareness, training and capacity building of different stakeholders were the key activities of the project which has resulted in behavioral change of the consumers and increased rate of source segregation. One of the major components of the project is the installation of Aerobins. More than 800 Aerobins have been installed in over 286 locations. The Aerobin is designed as such that it requires no energy input. The only input required is of wet/organic waste from the kitchen or garden. The composter is easy to use and is based on thermal insulation which conserves the internal heat for rapid breakdown of biomass. It employs an aeration core that promotes aerobic decomposition of organic waste. The composting process is free from foul odour and the first compost can be harvested after 40-45 days. The composters installed at the project sites are of 400L capacity and are operated by a designated operator, who is responsible for its daily operations like feeding organic waste, monitoring the temperature, moisture and harvesting compost.

Mantra for Advance Sustainable Solutions (MASS)

IPCA, under the CSR initiative of SBI Cards and Payment Services Limited, has developed 5 Material Recovery Facilites (MRF) in Delhi, Greater Noida and Ghazibad with the capacity from 2 TPD to 50 TPD and one Plastic Recycling Facility with capacity to process 900 MT of plastic waste per month in Greater Noida. The objective was to establish a sustainable supply chain for low grade plastic waste including MLP and to improve its collection and segregation rate. This CSR project entitled 'Innovative Mechanism for Management of Plastic Waste- Phase II' was sanctioned to IPCA in previous financial year but completed and executed in current financial year with the approval of three additional MRFs (two with 2 TPD capacities and one with the capacity of 10 TPD). During Phase I of the project, IPCA has set-up one Material Recovery Facility of capacity 2 TPD in Geeta Colony, which was inaugurated by Sh. Vikas Anand, Commissioner, EDMC, on 29th July 2021 and started receiving dry waste (Plastic Waste) material for further segregation. It has been established in a plot area of 300 square meter provided by East Delhi Municipal Corporation. Dry Waste is collected by waste collectors from its source of generation and is sent to the MRF for segregation, baling and transportation to the Plastic Recycling Facility.

Miyawaki Planation:

Urban environmental challenges, driven by increasing vehicular emissions, infrastructure expansion, and declining green cover, have become a major concern in cities like Gurgaon. In response, the Miyawaki Plantation project was implemented as a collaborative effort between Concentrix, Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA), Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The project has successfully developed a 17,000 m² urban forest in Gurugram, strategically designed across three triangular sections (T1, T2, T3) to maximize land utilization and ecological impact. By adopting the Miyawaki method, the initiative focuses on creating a dense, native, and self-sustaining green ecosystem that enhances biodiversity, improves air quality, and strengthens the urban microclimate. Through scientific interventions such as soil preparation, selection of indigenous species, and structured plantation techniques, the project ensures rapid growth and long-term sustainability.

D.R.O.P. (Develop Responsible Outlook for Plastic)

Project D.R.O.P. (Develop Responsible Outlook for Plastic) is a CSR initiative conceptualized by Kia India in collaboration with Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA) in January 2023, with the aim of promoting responsible plastic waste management through behavioural change, community engagement, and infrastructure support. Implemented across multiple cities including Gurgaon, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Zirakpur, the project focuses on bridging the gap between awareness and action by creating a closed-loop system that connects citizens, waste collection mechanisms, and recycling units. The initiative has successfully onboarded over 1100 residential areas, societies, schools, and institutions, where extensive awareness activities such as more than 2000 workshops and 1000 street plays have been conducted to educate stakeholders on source segregation and responsible disposal of plastic waste. As part of the intervention, over 1000 recycled plastic community bins have been installed, benefiting more than 14 lakh people, while ensuring systematic collection and channelization of plastic waste, with over 14,000 MT sent for recycling. The project not only improves environmental conditions by reducing litter and enhancing cleanliness but also creates safer working conditions for waste workers and instills long-term behavioural change among citizens, where segregation at source and responsible waste management become daily practices, ultimately contributing to a scalable and community-driven model for sustainable plastic waste management in India.

My 10 kg Plastic Campaign

“My 10 kg Plastic Campaign” is a flagship sustainability initiative conceptualized by  Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA) in collaboration with Dabur India Ltd., aimed at promoting plastic neutrality through behavioural change and responsible waste management practices. Launched in 2019, the project has created significant impact by engaging over 3,00,000 citizens and facilitating the collection of more than 3 lakh kg of plastic waste across Delhi NCR and Jammu, and is now being upscaled to Mohali, targeting households, educational institutions, markets, and municipal bodies. The campaign is built on the concept of individual responsibility, where “My” signifies ownership and “10 kg Plastic” represents the average annual per capita plastic waste generation in India, encouraging citizens to take accountability for the waste they generate. Under this initiative, IPCA will implement a structured system by installing community plastic bins at strategic locations to ensure segregation at source, followed by systematic collection and transportation of plastic waste to Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) for segregation and further channelization to authorized recycling units, thereby strengthening the circular economy. The project also emphasizes awareness generation, workshops, and continuous community engagement to drive long-term behavioural change, promoting practices such as responsible disposal and zero littering. Through this integrated approach, the campaign aims to create a scalable, community-driven model for effective plastic waste management and environmental sustainability.
