Responding to Environmental difficulties is a challenging proposition keeping Aesthetics, Technology & comfort in check. However with the green concept paving way residential Societies have sworn to battle the précis by accepting and running on techniques that are environment-friendly and make the best use of available resources.

To meet these necessary demands, Enviro, the Facilities management arm of Vatika group, hosts a multitude of green practices amongst both its external and internal residential clients that ensure a healthier environment with optimized waste disposal.

Enviro covers a total of 25 residential sites with a sewage treatment plant installed that generates 6.1 MLD of treated water, mainly used in flushing and horticulture purposes. These internal sites cover Vatika INXT, Vatika INXT 2, Vatika InfoTech City and Vatika Town Square as well.

The sewage treatment plant across these sites recycles untreated water to 100% and supplies it within the premises for landscaping and horticulture objectives.

The same process is carried out at the external client sites where 3.3 MLD of treated water is generated, standing at a total of 9.9 MLD of usable water each month.

To generate organic manure for horticulture and landscaping, vermi-composting pits are installed across all internal residential clients.

This process involves various species of worms, usually Red Wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms, to create a concoction of decomposing vegetables, food waste, plant waste and vermi-cast. The concoction adds up to a humungous 500 Kgs each month and helps in generating quality manure that is put to use by the integrated facilities management services at these buildings for maintaining the green belt around the clients’ vicinity. Many clients regularly take manure from us, for their Gardens and kitchen gardens.

For building management services slender energy consumption is ensured by incorporating solar plants that save 36770 KW/Hr of electricity and generate 32332 KW/Hr of energy to run the electrical appliances within the premises.

These Solar Plants have been put up across all Vatika Building Residential & Commercial at a substantial cost, but Going Green is intrinsic to our Ethos.

Ramprastha, Sai Vatika, Jaguar, and Good Earth are a few such residential clients where Enviro has deployed a segregated waste disposal plan to effectively dispose of wasteful items. Categorized as organic waste – Dark Green, dry waste – Blue Bin and E-waste – Black Bin, the waste after collection is handed over to the concerned authorities at the end of the day.

Apart from waste management, Rainwater harvesting is also followed by collecting water from the rains into underground reservoirs. The collected water is then treated with an adequate concentration of chlorine for enhanced sanitization and put to use for further in-house procedures. A total of more than 500 gallons of water is harvested from this technique which saves on water usage from pipelines and hence the bill generated.

Enviro pledged to go green by means of having introduced 8000+ bicycles for covering the last minute mile through Mobycy – The online application for providing safer and pollution free rides to users. One can book and unlock a bicycle through the app and park it at a safe place after use for the next user to find it. The process is completely app driven, hassle free and has encouraged as many as 6000+ users from the client sites to ride back home on a daily basis. Additionally, carpooling solutions as Sride and Quickride have also stepped forward to partner with Enviro in an endeavor to reduce the carbon footprint.

With a 100% compliance model Enviro is a diligent provider of quality integrated facility management services to societies with a green approach in managing operations. It aims at leveling up; keeping in mind the environment prospers along while it can change the face of facilities management in both the residential and commercial arenas.

Pollution is a bothersome dilemma in the current world that requires keen attention to every possibility. The times have changed over the past years and have completely turned the world’s outlook on life upside down. With the most modern technologies at play and the urge to invent the fastest solutions, it is indeed forgotten that ‘something’ lives at stake in order to make for an advancing tomorrow.

Harmful pollutants, Industrial wastes, radioactive emissions, noise pollution (that almost every person down the road goes through) along with visual pollution that defies the possibility of a clean and green view. The figures to this catastrophe are whammy and we’re only talking about India as a Country.

•  Car Emissions:75% pollution comes from vehicles alone where about 90% of the pollution is found in urban areas.

•  Noise Pollution: About 3% of people are exposed to over 80 decibels due to noise pollution. The question is whether you are soon to count yourself in that 3%?

•  Water Pollution: 50% of the water bodies are contaminated by industrial waste, misbalancing the ecological equilibrium and slowly striving towards a dry planet.

The figures are worse and so will be the planet’s face before it vanishes from the universe. If the righteous measures are not taken, the day is not so far given the current scenario.

But in a fast moving life how is one to think of the planet when they barely have any time for themselves. So we thought of coming up with some smart solutions for everyone hat can easily be incorporated in the daily life and save the environment from further damage. Let’s have a look:

CARPOOL & TELECOMMUNICATE: Carpooling is a handy solution when it comes to reaching a destination aimed by a mass of people. With the handy apps available that solve this issue, why not show a little care for the planet and save on money, fuel and time along with the harmful emissions from vehicles.

Telecommunication on the flip side is suitable when driving down to a place isn’t necessary and the conversation can be taken on call. This saves time and of course the unnecessary pollution the environment may be sneaking away from.

NO SMOKING: Limit the smoking zones in your area at office or residential complexes and thrive for a healthier way of living. Smoking or passive smoking pollutes the air while the cigarette butts litter the environment and the toxic chemicals in the remains mix with the water bodies and affect one’s health in drastic ways, whose symptoms worsen with time. The building maintenance authorities can enforce strict rules against smoking hazards and relieve the bad effects of such a practice.

ADD PLANTS: Adding plants to your office interiors will not only beautify the look of your surroundings but guess what? It’ll also purify the air naturally, rendering you a clean, healthy and safe environment. The deal is, you won’t have to make an extra expense on air purifiers.

PRINT LESS & RECYCLE: With the country going digital, printing resources were saved. The same can be at workplaces or homes if we can make the most out of our screens. Avoid printing often unless absolutely necessary and use your smart phones or tablets to carry out the desired tasks. On the flip side, power off devices like your laptops, tablets, ipads etc when not in recurrent use. Whilst saving resources, electricity counts. The facility management system on the other hand, can incorporate a segregated waste disposal plan in the buildings, so that the respective waste reaches the respective dustbin and the recycling process is easier and quicker.

AVOID SPRAYS & FRESHNERS: This is surprising. We all tend to use room fresheners and sprays to change the smells around. But who knew what these products contain is actually harming the environment? Not that these products are harmful on their own, but they contain hydrocarbons and compressed gases which are much harmful for the environment’s health. The more we use them, the more they worsen the harm.

USE REUSABLE PRODUCTS: Buying product that are a onetime use could be great unless it’s an exigency. But if the environment calls for it, then its best to switch to products that can be re-used. This saves on a lot of manufacturing cost and a mountain of disposed products in the dump pit.

We at Enviro are super proud to have integrated our facility management services with eco-friendly methods to bring out a revolutionary change in the way facility management operates in the country.

Enviro’s green initiatives include Sewage Treatment Plant, Rainwater Harvesting, Solar Panel, and Vermicomposting in all its residential and commercial complexes.

Harnessing the Power of Sun

Well, they say, “The future for solar energy is quite bright” & we couldn’t agree more! Solar panels have been installed at commercial and residential properties managed by Enviro, which significantly contributes in reducing the cost of energy consumption by producing substantial energy of over 15000 units kW of energy per month.

Solar energy is an investment for both present and future. #WeAreGreen

Harvesting the Heavens

Conserving rainwater is the most sustainable solution to deal with water scarcity.

We can recycle and reuse water for multiple purposes like gardening and car washing. We’re super proud to be using the rain water harvesting route to give back to nature. By using rainwater for toilet flushing, laundry and garden use alone, it can reduce mains water requirements of a typical household by 70%.

Treating the Sewage Right

It is amazing to see how recycled water can do wonders in our day-to-day lives. Our Sewage Treatment Plants transforms drops of water into drops of miracles. We’ve maintained Sewage Treatment Plants at 20 sites – 10 internal & 10 external sites having a maximum working capacity of 1200 KLD and 650 KLD respectively.
The recycled water is used for several purposes such as horticulture and construction purposes.

Vermicomposting – Healthy Soil & Healthy Food

Soil pollution is often ignored but we at Enviro make sure that regular practicing of vermicomposting is maintained at our residential complexes helps in the production of high quality humus that can fulfill the nutritional needs of plants by making soil more fertile.

We’re stoked to have integrated our facility management services with eco-friendly methods to bring a revolutionary change in the way facility management operates in the country. Here’s the Green living!

One of the major threats challenging the world today is deterioration of the environment. The proliferating use of synthetic fertilizers for agricultural purposes has depleted the soil of its natural fertility and robbed it of essential nutrients. This has not just adversely impacted agricultural productivity but has also resulted in depletion of fossil fuels and contamination of water resources.

Keeping in view the declining trend, sustainable farming practices are now being adopted to reverse this trend. One such practice that turns organic wastes into very high quality compost with the help of microorganism and earthworms is known as vermicomposting.

With millions of tonnes of organic waste being generated every year, vermicomposting is a safe way to convert these wastes into useful nutrients that can enhance the fertility of the soil. In fact, this biotechnological process, besides dealing with the problem of safe disposal of waste also provide with essential resources for sustainable productivity.

Importance of Vermicomposting:

• The castings produced by the earthworms contain higher percentage of both macro and micro nutrients essential for plant growth. In fact, the uptake of nutrients by plants is also enhanced.
• Researches prove that growth promoting hormones are present in vermicompost.
• Vermicomposting plays a major role in improving the yield of different field crops, vegetables, fruits and flowers.
• The application of vermicompost positively affects soil pH, microbial population and soil enzyme activities.

The utilization of vermicompost offers several benefits to farmers, industries, and environment and to the overall national economy. Addition of organic matter such as vermicompost to the soil enhances the water holding and nutrient providing capacity of soil. Besides this, it also aids in the development of resistance in plants to pests and diseases.

Vermicomposting is a low-cost technology that helps in the production of high quality humus, which is turn, is essential for fulfilling the nutritional needs of crops.

We all are familiar with the fact that plastic bags are non-biodegradable and thus, are a threat to the environment. However, we still use them as a habit. Plastic bags take thousands of years to biodegrade; in fact experiments have proved that not even microorganisms like bacteria can eat up the entire poly bag. Still the stats of polythene bag usage are increasing every day.

We at Enviro India are definitely conscious about this and as a step towards our contribution, we have partnered with Municipal Corporation, Gurgaon in the Say No to Polythene Bags campaign. It was 10th January, 2013 when Mr. Narinder Singh Yadav, the estate office of Municipal Corporation Gurgaon (MCG) announced the proud partnership of Enviro with MCG for the unique campaign.

The Municipal Corporation, Gurgaon made an initiative to keep the environment clean and Enviro is with MCG in the program. The announcement of this partnership was made at Vatika Business Park. In addition to the announcement, Mr. Narinder Singh Yadav also discussed about the dangerous impact of plastic on the environment. The event was honored with a nice gentry and everyone actively participated in the discussion. It was an extremely successful event with active participation.

ENVIRO is a renowned name in the field of facility management. It is a proud branch of Vatika and is ISO 9001:2008 certified by TUV SUD South Asia and accredited by DAR Germany. With its integrated facility management services, the organization has been able to create a flawless image in the domain. It offers specialized care and maintenance services to the clients and thus, successfully fulfills their day-to-day property requirements. Being a facility management firm, the organization understands its responsibility towards the environment. Thus, the organization decided to join MCG in its campaign against the polythene bags.

Littering of polythene bags not only creates a bad site, but also causes the death of stray animals. The account of damage doesn’t end here, the throw away plastic bags hinders the drainage system. This finally results in water borne diseases and thus, creates a threat to mankind.

When you say No to plastic bags, you actually say yes to a better world. Enviro believes in this thought and thus, is hoping that more people will join the campaign. Further, the organization has a strong intuition that the way the partnership event turned successful, the campaign will also turn effective enough.
