The Indian Pharmaceutical Association-Ma-Maharashtra State Branch's (The IPA-MSB's) Bombay College of Pharmacy (BCP) located in Santacruz (E), Mumbai is a living example of a sustainable institute in an urban setup. Besides being recognised by the country as one of the most prestigious pharma colleges, the institute has set an example by adopting a sustainable, decentralized, waste management system to manage biodegradable kitchen waste from the students' canteen. The institute invested in an effective waste management system to reduce waste being transported to the landfills from their campus with technological consultation with RUR GreenLife. The project was flagged off in the campus on February 26, 2020.
Reducing, reusing, recycling
RUR (Are you reducing, reusing, recycling?) designs, builds, trains, and installs customised turnkey waste management solutions for homes/schools/organizations which are decentralized and sustainable. Through nearly 150+ decentralized waste management projects in Mumbai, India, 650 tonnes of biowaste is transformed into rich, organic, nutritionally balanced compost and mitigate over 6500 kgs of CO2 emissions annually. The USP of the project is 'Nature’s way of recycling waste'. The project is essentially driven by innovative in-vessel technology, a patent filed (#201621007373), IGBC GreenPro certified, RUR’s GreenGold Aerobic Bio Composter (RGGC). It's easy handling, low maintenance, and zero power consumption, which makes it a user-friendly plug-and-play system. The composting system has also been awarded bronze under the composting category by the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA, 2018).
