Introduction to Geocycle

Geocycle Industries generating waste

Cement plant Waste

Material compatible with cement manufacturing process

Holcim

To provide Industrial waste generators a sustainable final destination to their waste by converting diverse waste streams into a compatible material for the cement production process

Our Mission

Our Vision

To be the preferred total solutions provider for industrial waste

Geocycle is a business unit of Holcim , established to provide professional waste management solution to the industrial waste generators.


Geocycle global presence

• Co-processing activities in over 39 countries with over 4500 customers

• 28 pre-processing facilities• More than 10 mil. tons of AFR co-

processed in 2011• Treated about 20,000 waste

streams


Ecological misbehavior : elaboration

• 119 MT of hazardous substances are added to the environment

• 3,716 MT of fossil fuels are consumed

• 2,000 MT of Carbon is added to the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels

• 2 die from drinking of polluted water

• The world lost an unknown amount of biological diversity

Typical waste management

Open dumping, open burning

Less segregation of waste and mix haz

& non haz waste

Co-processing : A sustainable solutions for hazardous wastes

Using the cement manufacturing process to destruct waste while simultaneously manufacturing clinker in a single combined operation

Features

Flame temperatures 1800- 2000 0C Residence time 4-6 s Total destruction of material under controlled

conditions No organic residue from the process Emissions continuously monitored and

controlled

Holcim Group companies further commit that no waste management services will be conducted for material on the following list of "banned waste" Radioactive waste Asbestos-containing waste Explosives and ammunition / weapons Self-reactive / thermally unstable compounds / organic peroxides4

exhibiting explosive properties Anatomical medical waste

Nor will Holcim Group companies co-process Electronic fraction of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) Whole batteries as a targeted material stream Waste of unknown or unpredictable composition, including unsorted

municipal waste

We commit to not process banned waste

• ACert Program is a comprehensive assurance methodology for Holcim Group Companies involved in the waste management for co-processing value chain to gauge compliance in order to evaluate, understand and control their H&S, environmental and specific business risk exposure.

• Geocycle Sri Lanka is the first to be ACerted in Holcim group in 2009

ACert Program


• Daily work start with safety oath• Everyone commit to ensure safety

of himself and colleagues

Commitment to safety …… safety oath


• Geocycle establish appropriate risk controls to effectively reduce risk exposure of employees, sub-contractors and visitors to our premises by providing appropriate safe working environment, information and protective equipment.

• Risks managed via the hierarchy of controls (Elimination, Substitution, Engineering, Administrative, Behaviour and PPE).

Personal safety of our employees is first priority


• Relevant safety information are provided to employees, sub-contractors and visitors to our premises. Safety induction video Safety trainings Employee safety handbook Display notices



• Industrial hygiene programs and health monitoring programs are in place. Physical test (BMI, speech,

hearing, vision) Cardiovascular system(pulse

rate, Blood pressure, ECG) Respiratory system (X-ray of

chest, Lungs) Blood (Lipid profile, Fasting blood

sugar, SGPT, Full blood count, Serum Creatinine, Hemoglobin, Cholinesterase estimation) etc.



• Waste pre qualification process through a software based tool to monitor all the elements covers under one controlling mechanism. (Customer Tracking System)

eg: Safety, environment, compliance, quality etc…

Process safety starts with waste pre-qualification


• Conducting activity based, material based risk assessments and taking control measures

• Standard operating procedures and safety work instructions

• Permit to work system after the job safety analysis

• Process hazard analysis

• Hazard identification by employees and record in system

• Safety observation tours by management

• Process safety audits

• Apply engineering controls to mitigate the effect from working environment. Eg: Dust extraction system of shredders

Ensuring process safety


Emergency preparedness


Emergency mock drills and fire fighting training

Paradigm shift in waste management industry in Sri Lanka

28

End to end solution Segregation at point of generation, know

the fate & final disposal Business decision Be a strategic partner for waste disposal Reduce carbon footprint Professionalism

Peace of mind


Partnering with many agencies/authorities to manage chemical/ hazardous waste

• Central Environment Authority – Actively engaging as a facility provider, consulting the waste management and introducing new best practices to the country Ex introducing Hazardous waste declaration , Working as a member for national environment projects . Strong relationship with the Authority

• Ministry of Environment – Committee members for National Implementation plan of POPs (PCB Committee member and infrastructure provider) . Collaborate with Geo Responsibility Awards. Strong relationship with the Ministry

• BOI is investment promoter in SL. GC is partnering with BOI in handling their all solid waster in main zones (KEPZ, BEPZ, KgPEZ, WEPZ SEPZ etc). Also partnering with industries who are in the zones in disposing hazardous waste. The policy of Zero dumping at zones is joint projects that both BOI & Geocycle is working.

29


Strong adversary support to create positive image

• UN Organization – One of the key party and consultant for Environment projects Ex Kelani river project

• ITI – Sharing the technical knowledge and jointly providing the training to the industry

• Universities – Working with several senior lectures to develop R & D & provide assistance to the university students.

• NCPC – Partnering with the national cleaner production activities

• IEPSL – Two members are active council members of Holcim (lanka) Ltd
