Mapletree’s India Commercial and India Logistics teams have embarked on their zero waste journeys, developing comprehensive policies and reorganising operational practices. This process is supported by the creation of a new specialised waste segregation facility in Global Technology Park (GTP). It also involves close collaboration with tenants, in which the teams support the tenants in monitoring and tracking the waste they generate by conducting in-kind training sessions on waste management for all admin facility teams. Subsequently, the waste is collected, categorised and sent to specialised recycling facilities. This partnership is instrumental in enhancing our operational sustainability and achieving our ambitious waste reduction targets.

Global Infocity Park Chennai (GIPC), GTP and Mapletree (Chakan) Logistics Park 2B in India have also installed Organic Waste Converter (OWC) in the campuses. Close to 100% of the wet waste generated within the assets is converted into compost and biogas. The dry waste is recycled to create products like notebooks, pens and pencils.

The India Commercial team is also in the midst of pursuing TRUE Zero Waste certification for GTP and GIPC and have partnered vendors to achieve this. We will continue to further improve our waste management process and aim to be amongst the first few parks in India to achieve this certification.

The percentage of waste sent to landfills has dropped from more than 10% in April 2023 to less than 2% of total waste generated in December 2023 for GTP and we aim to complete the TRUE Zero Waste certification in 2024 for GTP and GIPC.
