Q uote
This World Environment Day reminds us that the choices we make in
building and developing our communities have lasting impacts on the planet.
As India advances toward its net-zero goals and a circular economy, it's more
important than ever to prioritise sustainable infrastructure and eco-conscious
development.
Designing energy-efficient, resource-saving spaces not only supports healthi-
er, more resilient communities but also aligns growth with responsibility.
With India's expanding industrial landscape, accelerating the adoption of
green buildings powered by renewable energy like solar, is essential. To make
meaningful progress, collaboration between policymakers, businesses, and
communities is crucial, simplifying regulations, improving financing, and
raising awareness about sustainable infrastructure.
By taking these steps together, we can ensure that the growth we pursue today
builds a healthier, more sustainable world for generations to come.

The Renewable Energy business which fundamentally appears to be
clean, also has a huge room for enhancing sustainability measures. Disposal
of fibre reinforced plastics used for wind turbine rotor blades, spinners and
nacelle, upon completion of its useful life are posing a challenge.
Alternate material to FRPs or devising degradability in composites is the
focus area to prevent future challenges. Disposal of Solar PV panels is the
biggest challenge that humans are witnessing. Putting the said pollutant to an
alternate use is a secondary solution when one surrenders the competency to
innovate. The true challenge is to refrain from creation of plastics or fibre
glass of any form; and the answer lies in imposition of a disciplinary frame-
work to drive innovation & reform the technology landscape.
Sustainability isn’t just a goal, but it’s our moral responsibility!
