With environmental responsibility at the core of its mission, Cleantech Pvt Ltd operates on the belief that every piece of waste holds untapped value.

In 2024, Cleantech undertook an ambitious initiative to further enhance its waste management processes. The company implemented a state-of-the-art waste monitoring and tracking system, enabling real-time visibility and data-driven decision-making across all operational levels. This system played a pivotal role in the company’s ability to identify, categorize, and process waste streams with greater efficiency and precision. As a result, Cleantech successfully improved its waste diversion rate from an already impressive 90% to an industry-leading 99.99% by May 2025.

The ZWL certification not only recognizes this achievement but also serves as a validation of the company’s long-term sustainability strategy. It reflects the organization’s ability to operationalize environmental goals and achieve measurable outcomes that contribute to a cleaner planet. By treating waste as a resource and investing in advanced recycling and material recovery techniques, Cleantech has transformed its operations into a model for circular economy practices.

Cleantech Pvt Ltd’s environmental performance is further supported by globally recognized certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management System), ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), and the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). These certifications reinforce the company’s integrated approach to quality, safety, and sustainability across all business functions.

The company recognizes that sustainability is not a destination, but a continuous journey. With this certification, Cleantech reaffirms its commitment to driving change, reducing ecological footprints, and enabling communities to participate in a more circular and responsible economy. The success of this initiative has not only changed how the company manages waste but has also inspired a broader cultural shift toward more sustainable thinking and behavior throughout the organization.

As Cleantech Pvt Ltd looks ahead, it invites its stakeholders, partners, and the wider community to join in the collective effort to shape a greener, cleaner future. By working together, it is possible to unlock new value from waste, conserve resources, and protect the planet for generations to come.
