riefly describe the waste management practices adopted in your establishments. Describe the strategy adopted by
your company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the practices
adopted to manage such wastes.
Lupin strives to embed principles of circularity and waste recycling to reduce waste disposal to landfills or incineration.
The incinerable hazardous waste generated at the site is sent for co-processing/ pre-processing in cement plants instead
of incineration.
Spent solvents generated in the API manufacturing processes are either recovered and reused in-situ or sent to the
authorized recyclers or registered disposal facilities. Further as a part of our resource conservation initiatives the spent
calcium sulphate is sent to the cement plants for utilizing this as alternate fuel and raw material in their operations.
Non-hazardous waste from our operations, such as canteen wastes, and mycelia wastes are either sent to piggeries or
composted to convert it into usable organic fertilizer. The agro-waste boiler ash was sent for brick manufacturing, soil
enrichment and landfilling.
We are committed to minimizing waste by:
Encouraging non-hazardous and less toxic materials during the inventory/purchase process
Sourcing equipment that produces zero waste or minimal hazardous waste
Using longer life chemical products
Training employees on safe handling, labelling and storage of hazardous products
All of our waste management practices have been detailed in the Natural Capital section of the Integrated Report
