Usher Agro Limited constantly works to meet the demands of protecting and nurturing the natural environment. Being one of the largest rice milling companies, it is a constant endeavor to set highest standards to safeguard the environment.
Steps taken by Usher to minimize impact of hazards on environment :
a. Husk generated while milling the harvested paddy is abrasive and
hazardous in handling. Being light it rises in air and creates problems to people around. Usher has combated this and harnessed the positive feature of the high calorific value of husk. Usher has put up a BIOMASS based power project that generates green energy for captive consumption and to be supplied to national power grid.
b. Hazardous ASH which is generated in boilers of rice industries is being converted to produce a vital ingredient needed by Indian and global industry. Usher in collaboration with India’s foremost research institute has sponsored a project to develop and commercialize a technology to produce precipitated silica, a common ingredient found in paint, food and various other industries.
c. Processing paddy for the most popular variety of rice i.e. parboiled rice requires huge amount of water. This water mostly drained and wasted leads to serious public health hazards and pollution issues. Usher has invested heavily to treat it and reprocess the water in a very scientific and stringent manner. This treated water meets fresh water parameters making it reusable & drastically reducing overall water consumption.
