Ujala Cygnus Partners with Karo Sambhav for E-Waste Management
New Delhi: Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals has entered into a partnership with Karo Sambhav , an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) solutions provider, to manage biomedical equipment and IT waste across its network of hospitals. As part of the agreement, Karo Sambhav will implement circular economy principles at all 25 Ujala Cygnus hospitals by establishing a structured, compliant, and technology-enabled recycling system for biomedical and IT-related waste, according to a press release. The initiative is expected to process approximately 100 metric tonnes of e-waste annually, based on an estimated generation of ~0.2 kg per bed per day. It will ensure end-to-end traceability, compliance with CPCB/SPCB guidelines, and transparent material recovery processes. According to the hospital group, the initiative is projected to achieve an annual carbon offset of over 200 tonnes of CO₂. It aligns with India's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals as well as broader global climate commitments. 'With this pioneering circular economy initiative, we are demonstrating that hospitals can be catalysts of environmental change. This partnership is our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future for all,' said Dr. Shuchin Bajaj, Founder Director, Ujala Cygnus Healthcare Services. 'The healthcare sector generates highly sensitive and complex waste streams. This collaboration will showcase how circular systems can be seamlessly integrated into hospital operations,' added Pranshu Singhal, Founder, Karo Sambhav.

Here are the snacks Srishti shared, along with nutritional benefits: A handful of almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds is packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making them an ideal snack to curb hunger and maintain energy. The mix of nutrients helps keep blood sugar levels stable. Greek yoghurt is high in protein, which can help keep you feeling fuller for longer. Pair it with antioxidant-rich berries like blueberries or strawberries for a naturally sweet and satisfying snack. Hummus, made from chickpeas, is a great source of protein and fibre. Pair it with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips for a crunchy and nutrient-packed snack that will keep your energy steady. An apple is rich in fiber and natural sugars, giving you a quick energy boost. Add a tablespoon of almond or peanut butter for a satisfying mix of carbs, protein, and healthy fats that prevent blood sugar dips. Opt for whole-grain crackers paired with a slice of cheese. The fiber from the crackers combined with the protein and fat in the cheese makes for a balanced snack that fuels your body and satisfies cravings. She further added, 'Incorporating these snacks into your routine can help keep energy levels up without the need for caffeine or sugary treats. Make them part of your daily workday snacks for consistent energy throughout the day.'
