Commitment to Sustainable Development

The secret of INSEE Ecocycle’s success has been our passionate commitment to responsibly manage the use of natural resources through its reusage and renewal while minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment. We are indeed proud of our achievements in improving industrial environmental footprints across a wide range of industries in Sri Lanka.

Our sustainability and overall corporate objectives are based on a three-pronged accountability strategy of Economic Responsibility, Environmental Responsibility and Social Responsibility, aligning with the United Nations sustainable development goal of ‘sustainable consumption and production’. In other words, development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Community Empowerment

Continuing in its effort to provide medical and eye care facilities to under-privileged elders, INSEE Ecocycle Lanka conducted a medical and eye-care camp in collaboration with HelpAge at Katunayake BOI Zone management processing plant premises for the benefit of over 125 needy people including the waste pickers at the Material Receiving Centre (MRC) and the factory workers.

Helping Rural Communities through Biomass Sourcing

Ecocycle works to optimize supply chains and provide solutions through partnerships that explore circular economy solutions. For example, rice husk was considered a waste until Ecocycle developed a solution for it, resulting in the rural communities of Anuradhapura, Kekirawa, and Puttalam being benefited by the rising demand for rice husks for Ecocycle’s operations.
