Central Railway establishes compost plants across Maha

27 Jun 2023 CW Team

Central Railway is dedicated to achieving environmental sustainability targets by implementing various measures in collaboration with the Environment and House-keeping Management (EnHM) department. These initiatives align with the norms set by the Honourable National Green Tribunal (NGT) and Railway Board, focusing on waste management.

Environmental sustainability need not be restricted to water or energy conservation alone. Waste Management is a significant chapter for a vast transport organisation like railways that deals with millions of passengers and transportation activities. Waste Management is all about turning waste into proper usable stuff and preventing environmental pollution. As part of its waste management strategy, Central Railway has established compost plants across its divisions to effectively manage solid waste and promote eco-friendly practices. Noteworthy initiatives include:

Central Railway's New Coaching Complex at Solapur Depot has successfully implemented a leaf composting programme. Fallen leaves from the ground are collected and deposited into rectangular beds, allowing nature to decompose them along with kitchen waste. This in-house composting process produces zero-cost manure, which significantly enhances the fertility of railways' plantations and gardens.
