UltraTech commissions world’s first zero discharge ready mix concrete plant

21st May, 2019

UltraTech Cement Limited (UltraTech), in its effort towards sustainability and innovation, has developed an in-house technology to use all waste generated from the rejected concrete in the form of waste sludge or slurry for recycling into Ready Mix Concrete (“RMC”) production. This technology is fully automated and enables the plant to be real zero discharge with no water and solid waste. This eliminates the cost of waste disposal and recycling material generated out of the said process. The partial substitution of sand, flyash and water makes it a sustainable business proposition.

UltraTech Cement has commissioned the first ‘green RMC’ plant by using the said technology in the city of Mumbai, having zero discharge. This is the first of its kind RMC plant in the world. This initiative is a part of UltraTech’s vision ‘To be the leader in building solutions’.
