Regarding the Trucks carrying waste from Biocon to Terra
Firma for disposal as per Pollution Control Board Norms
Bangalore, India: July 07, 2015
Biocon is sending its inert cell mass to Terra Firma for treatment and disposal as per
PCB (Pollution Control Board) norms. This bio-waste is nutrient rich, highly
biodegradable, non- toxic, non-hazardous, non- chemical waste. However, being an
outcome of a fermentation process, it has a typical odour. The Company is working
with consultants to find an alternate technology for processing the cell mass, until then
we will have to rely on M/S Terra Firma for processing as per the existing norms. We
have already communicated to KSPCB about our efforts to find alternate ways for inert
cell mass disposal.
