Vihaan Clean & Green Tech Pvt. Ltd., a common boiler and effluent treatment facility based in Gujarat, marked World Environment Day 2025 by planting over 400 native trees within its premises. The initiative, carried out in partnership with the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB), was attended by Mr. Dilip M Rathod, Regional Officer, GPCB Mehsana.
Tree species planted during the drive included Rain Tree, Gulmohar, Peltophorum, Lagistromia, Cordia, Spethodia, Champa, Terminalia, Kasid, Saptaparni, and Kachnar. The selection was based on their ecological suitability and ability to contribute to the local environment.
The activity was aligned with the 2025 World Environment Day theme, “Beat Plastic Pollution.” Vihaan has introduced several measures to reduce plastic usage at its site, including:
- Removal of single-use plastics from the facility
- Awareness workshops for employees and nearby industrial units
Amit Badlani, Managing Director – Vihaan Clean & Green Tech Pvt. Ltd., said, “At Vihaan, we strongly believe that environmental sustainability is not a one-day celebration but a way of life. This year’s theme – ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’ – deeply resonates with our vision. From treating industrial effluents responsibly to reducing plastic usage in our own operations, we are committed to being a catalyst of positive change. Our plantation of over 400 trees in the last month is just one of the many steps toward building a cleaner, greener Mehsana.”
Mr. Dilip M Rathod, Regional Officer – GPCB Mehsana, said, “I commend Vihaan for taking proactive steps to honour the spirit of World Environment Day. Industrial players like Vihaan are setting an example by integrating pollution control with green infrastructure. Their commitment to tackling plastic pollution and expanding green cover reflects the kind of leadership the environment sector needs. GPCB looks forward to continued collaboration with such forward-thinking enterprises.”
