Initiative – Wood AlternateInitiative – Wood Alternate
Problem Statement
• Environmental issue and Cost Saving
• For Isolation mode wood consumption is 75000 CFT/annum.
• Dimensional Issues with the wood resulting in damage to Quality
• Unsafe to handle with splinters
Objective Set
• Reduction of wood consumption
• Reduce dependency on wood-anatural product
• Establish reverse logistics
• Saving of environment and costin long term.
