Zero Waste Campus of Infosys
Budget : NA
Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process
About the Project:
The Infosys Mysore campus is a mini city spread over 350 acres that hosts more than 15,000 trainees residing on campus, more than 8,000 employees and several thousand contract workers. Segregation and composting holds an important position in the company’s food waste management agenda. From 2012, Infosys adopted 100% segregation and on- site food waste treatment policy. Today, the campus has standardized the color, size and visual communication materials for food waste collection at food courts resulting in 100% segregation. Hazardous waste and e-waste are disposed to authorized recyclers, who possess the required clearances from the Pollution Control Boards. Paper waste is sent for recycling to authorized vendors who in turn provide recycled paper products in return. The biogas plant at the campus uses segregated food waste from the food courts on a daily basis for gas generation. The food waste is anaerobically digested in the biogas digester from which it is directed to the storage unit. The plant provides gas on demand basis as per the needs of the food courts. he plant is fully-automated and integrated with the building management system (BMS) to facilitate online monitoring on a continuous basis thereby minimizing manual intervention. The plant is estimated to generate about 140 cu.m. of gas per MT of food waste.
