Tata Steel UISL has announced an ambitious plan to convert all food waste generated in Jamshedpur into bio-gas by March 2026, marking a significant advancement in sustainable waste management. Ritu Raj Sinha, the Managing Director of Tata Steel UISL, revealed this initiative during a media interaction. He emphasized the transformative potential of bio-gas production for the city's waste management system and its contribution to environmental conservation. Sinha noted that if the plan proceeds as intended, Jamshedpur would become the first city to fully convert its food waste into bio-gas.
Currently, Jamshedpur produces around 260 tonne of waste daily, with food waste constituting 40 per cent of this total. Sinha highlighted the considerable benefits of converting this waste into bio-gas, including substantial cost savings for society. He called for participation from hotels, restaurants, and individual households, stressing the need for a collective effort to realize this vision.
The initiative is already gaining momentum, with 20 establishments in and around Jamshedpur having installed Bio-Gas Waste Management systems, including five notable hotels and restaurants.
Bio-gas systems were inaugurated at Akino Luxury Hotel, Dasaprakash, a well-known South Indian restaurant, and Kerala Samajam Model School (KSMS). KSMS notably became the first school in the city to implement a Bio-Gas Waste Management system on its campus, setting a precedent for educational institutions in the area.
During the inauguration, MS Shekhawat, Chief Divisional Manager of Tata Steel UISL, highlighted the crucial role of bio-gas technology in tackling food waste management challenges. He pointed out that effectively converting organic waste into bio-gas could significantly lessen the load on landfills and contribute to a cleaner environment.
