Has
many
diS

conventional waste management processes
like open-landfill, secure-landfill, captive incineration-
•
Completely
destroys waste
materials through high
temperatures,
oxygen excess and
long residence time.
•
Reduces
greenhouse gas
emissions.
•
No
additional residue to
landfill
as
the entire material is absorbed
into the cement matrix

our
motivation,
Your
advantage
Wast
e
is
a
significant
problem
for
society
that
has
no
precise conclusion.
However,
it
is
a
problem
that
can
still
be
conquered
. .
via
creative
thinking.
Geocycle
has been
working
continuously
in
various
countries
and
stakeholders
to address the
global
waste
challenges.
The
health of our
planet is
vital
to
us
hence
Geocycle
believes in
a
zero-waste
future
by
rethinking
waste management.
Solid
waste Management Challenges
in
Bangladesh Bangladesh
is
developing
at
a
fast
pace
with
regards to population
growth,
especially in
urban
areas
and
economic
advancement that
increase the volume
of
MSW.
Besides,
rapid
industrialization,
expansion
of
construction
and
demolition
work,
and
over
dependence
on
electronic
goods also
adds
a
large
amount
of
wastes
in Bangladesh.
According to
recent
research
by
2025,
the entire
urban population
is
expected to reach 78.44
million,
and
the rate
of
waste
generation is
expected to rise to
220 kg
per capita
per
year.
Solid waste
management Bangladesh
may
face the
following
challenges:
To
reduce
the
environment pollution especially air, water, soil
pollution, water-logging
and
green-house
gas
emission etc.
To
prevent
the
open
dumping
and
uncontrolled burning
of
Plastic
waste, abandoned
electronic
goods,
Food
waste, residues from
organic
waste etc cause severe
environmental pollution,
Greenhouse gas
emission
and bad
order.
To
control the public health hazards
like
spread
of water-borne
diseases,
communicable
diseases,
and
parasitic
diseases through
the
untreated hazardous
organic wastes
like fecal
sludge,
biomedical
wastes,
and
discharge of
chemical
wastes from industry
etc.

The
Customers
We
Serve
Worldwide,
more
than
10,000
customers
across
50
countries
rely
on
our services.
Our
solutions
help
them
contribute
towards
a
resource
efficient future
and
a
closed loop
circular
economy. Together,
we
tailor
solutions
that
meet your
demands
and
those
of
your
stakeholders.
We
have been
providing co-processing services
to
some
of
Bangladesh's
leading
oil
&
gas,
pharmaceutical,
agro
product, food
and
consumer
goods
companies.
This year
we
have
co-processed
approximately
50
thousand
metric
tons
of
waste
from various
sectors Textile
Companies
Wastes
are
produced
m
every stage
of the
textile
manufacturing
process such
as
spinning,
weaving,
knitting,
dyeing,
finishing
and
clothing.
So
textile
wastes
can
be
defined
as
the
material
that
becomes unusable
after
the
end
of the production
process
of
any
textile
product.
We
assist
textile
companies to
find
a
sustainable solution to
manage
the
solid
waste
by
safe disposal in our cement kiln. Fast
Moving
Consumer
Goods (FMCG)
The
fast-moving consumer
goods
industry contributes
to
a
significant
amount
of
waste.
It
is
mainly
due
to the
use
of
harsh
chemical
formulations
and
plastics/single-use
packaging
of products.
The
waste
generation occurs during packaging
and
post-use from
the
toxic
raw
materials
in the
product
along
with
the expired
finished
goods.
We
assist
them to
satisfy
their
social obligations
and
achieve
long-term
development
objectives
by
the safe disposal of various types
of
waste.
Pharmaceutical Companies Pharma
waste
includes discarded pharmaceutical products
like prescription
and
over-the-counter medications,
as
well
as
the chemical sludges and
wastewaters produced during
pharmaceuticals manufacturing.
We
create
value
for
them and
their customers
by
ensuring
that
difficult
waste is
treated in
a
safe,
compliant
&
responsible manner.
Agricultural and Pesticide Companies
Agricultural waste includes manure and
other wastes from
farms, poultry houses and
slaughterhouses; harvest waste;
fertilizer run- off from fields; pesticides that enter into water,
air or soils; and
salt and
silt drained from fields. Pesticide
waste
is
characterized
by
high
concentrations
of
a
diversity
of chemicals
and
associated adjuvants.
In
most
areas,
pesticides
are
called hazardous
or acutely
hazardous wastes
which
require
specific
disposal procedures.
In
our
cement
kiln
we
provide
an
extremely
high
Destruction
Removal
Efficiency
(DRE)
for
these kind
of
hazardous waste
materials.
Oil
and
Gas
Company
We
collaborate
closely
with
the leading
Oil
and gas
companies.
Wastes
generated
from exploration
and
production
of
oil,
gas, and
geothermal energy
often contain
materials
such
as
arsenic, cadmium,
chromium,
lead,
mercury,
and
benzene,
which
may
reach
toxic
levels
that
would
be
considered hazardous.
They also
generate
huge
volumes
of diverse wastes
including
drilling
water,
Sludge,
insulation material
etc. which is treated
in
our cement kiln,
solving societal
waste challenges responsibly
and in
an
environmentally sustainable manner.
Municipal Corporations
Bangladesh
faces
a
serious problem
with solid waste
management
by
the exponential rate in the increase of the
waste generation.
We
provide unique
alternatives thus
no
additional incinerators or
landfills
are needed.
We
are
working with municipal corporations to set
up
Material
Recovery
Facility
(MRF)
to segregate the plastics
and
combustibles.
We
co-process non-recyclables
and
the
organic waste will
go
to
a
composting plant.
We
assist
municipal corporations to identify
more environmentally and
economically sustainable solutions that benefit the
communities they serve.
5 Geocycle Bangladesh Waste management for a greener world
Our
Processes
Pre-processing
waste generally
cannot
be
used
directly
for
co-processing in the
cement kiln.
Thus
must
undergo
the pre-processing
step to
comply
with the technical
specifications
of
cement
production
and
guaranteeing required environmental
standards.
This
includes
converting
a
wide
variety
of waste
materials
into
a
homogeneous
mix
of defined
characteristics
which is
suitable for co-processing in cement
kilns.
At
Geocycle, we
have
the
installations,
people
and
know-how to
ensure
expert
pre-processing.
Co-processing
Co-processing
is
a
globally recognized
technology through which waste
is
treated
in energy
intensive
industries
such
as
cement,
solving
societal
waste challenges
responsibly
and
in
an
environmentally
sustainable
manner.
The
cement
Kilns
provide
an
extremely

Co-processing absorbs the residual

This contributes

there is

into
a
landfill. It
can
handle
industrial
waste, municipal solid wastes, plastic
waste, and open biomass burning. As
co-processing uses existing cement facilities, it
saves public funds

The Clear Advantages of
•
Co-Processing
Circular economy is increasin~ly seen as a requirement & a promise whereas integrated waste management systems generating circular
solutions are still rare. Like Geocycle, the world's most innovative companies see circularity as a strategic opportunity.
Geocycle promotes a more widespread circular economy through working with our stakeholders to find the most sustainable solutions
for their waste through co-processing and diverting it from landfills. Our approach ensures tailored end to end waste management
solution with Zero landfilling.
Our Operations
With the increased use of different waste streams, it was important to enhance the day to day
feeding and handling capability. Commissioning of the new Alternative Fuel Feeding System has
increased our waste disposal capacity up to 1000 MT of wastes per day. The Alternative fuel
feeding system at Chhatak plant is a one of a kind facility in the country. With a complete
in-house waste pre-processing platform along with automated waste handling and feeding
systems ensure minimal human intervention during waste disposal. Safety is our topmost
priority. Principle types of waste that we handle in our facility includes Industrial Hazardous
Wastes, Non-Hazardous Waste, Waste Plastics & Laminates, Textile Sludge, Various Types of
liquids, sorted Municipal solid waste etc.
