The Indian Super League (ISL) side, Bengaluru FC has partnered with Neo San, a clean-technology company in decentralized waste management. In addition to River, the club’s electric vehicle (EV) partner, and Hasiru Dala, the Green Force of waste pickers, Neo San’s efficiency incinerators will be implemented across match days to achieve BFC’s goal of zero-waste-to-landfill.
These machines are designed to decrease 98% of carbon emissions from the process of waste management and will further enhance the consumer experiences aimed at combining the excitement of football with sustainable waste solutions at the Kanteerava Stadium.
Divyanshu Singh, Chief Operating Officer of JSW Sports, said, “At Bengaluru FC, we recognize the role we play in the community and the need for us to adopt sustainability practices across all facets of the club. Our goal is to work towards achieving net zero emissions. We took the first step last season by collaborating with Hasiru Dala to ensure total waste management for all our matchdays at the Kanteerava Stadium. This season, we’re partnering with Neo San that specializes in creating sustainable waste management solutions using advanced technology and they have been on the forefront of eco-friendly waste handling. Through this partnership, we aim to be a club which is not just a football champion but also champions sustainability.”
Dhwaj Bagrecha, Co-founder and CEO, Neo San, said, “We, at Neo San, have a dream of creating a world free of burning dumps, landfills and open, unattended garbage. Joining hands with BFC, a football club with such a rich heritage and ardent supporters in the community, will go a long way in creating a positive societal impact while applying our technology. We are extremely happy to collaborate with BFC to achieve our shared dream of a cleaner city!”
Founded in 2017, Neo San operates across the country as a category-leading at-source waste management system that not only reduces overall waste output but also removes the need for any transportation and logistics for waste management.
Built on Neo San’s patented technology – Neo-X, an ultra-efficient compact incinerator designed to safely dispose of non-recyclable waste right at the source, will be placed at multiple accessible locations across the stadium.
