Ambuja Cement to carry out a cleanup initiative at Narendra Modi Stadium

Ambuja Cement along with Geocycle, the waste management solutions unit of LafargeHolcim, will carry out a clean-up initiative at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad from March 12-March 20, 2021 after the T-20 cricket matches.

“Our collaboration with BCCI, brings us a step closer to building a cleaner future. Our waste management division, Geocycle has taken many initiatives in past to help India reach its ambitious goals on the environment.” said, Neeraj Akhoury, CEO LafargeHolcim India and Managing Director & CEO, Ambuja Cements Limited.

Ambuja is an official partner of BCCI.


As part of the global cement major LafargeHolcim, Ambuja is committed to the Net Zero vision of the Group.

”Ranked 5th in the Global Dow Jones Sustainability Index and 8 times water positive, its latest green initiative is to take on the onus of collecting and managing waste, during the T20 Series, in Ahmedabad which began on 12th March at the Narendra Modi Stadium,” the company said in a statement.

Sporting events create massive amounts of waste and have a large carbon footprint. The 5-match series at the world’s largest cricket stadium will create 3-4 tonnes of waste and approximately 1 tonne of single-use plastic.

“Enabling a circular economy model, the collected waste will be re-purposed and safely managed through co-processing in the cement kiln at Ambujanagar plant in Gujarat,” the company’s statement said.

This technology is recognized globally and is one of the safest methods of waste management, the company said.
