re

purpose

To reclaim and recycle as many resources from all units and common areas of the project as part of Retrace’s daily operations.

From wastewater to trash, Retrace repurposes every bit of refuse to keep you always on the move

Retrace assures minimal water waste with at least 90% of water being treated and reused, with wastewater being treated at our onsite plant.

From human activities to kitchen waste, solid and wet waste will both be treated at Retrace.

The journey of waste

Waste Generation

Discarded by you and left in the receptacles of a bin, waste is picked up outside your plot and taken to one of Retrace’s many waste treatment facilities. Retrace houses several strategically placed sewage treatment plants, renewable energy zones, and water treatment and storage facilities.

Segregation & Recycling

The next step after collection is segregation. Inorganic waste is segregated and either sent for recycling or is incinerated.

Composting

Aside from planters and smart poles, compost bins will also be a part of the street landscape at Retrace. These bins feed directly into planters to make for efficient waste management.

Manure

All of Retrace’s organic waste — from home, garden, and community activity — is turned into nourishing and odour-free manure which is used throughout Retrace’s grounds to continue the cycle of natural elements.

Minimal contribution to waste pollution

Due to rapid urbanisation, economic growth, and higher rates of urban consumption, India is among the world’s top 10 countries generating municipal solid waste (MSW).

The annual waste generation in India is expected to increase to 165 MT by 2030. Inadequate waste collection, transport, treatment, and disposal have become major causes for environmental and public health concerns in the country.

Reclaiming what we use and lose

Organic waste is treated and made odour-free before turned into compost.
Inorganic waste is segregated and either sent for recycling or incinerated.
Wet waste is converted into manure using an organic waste converter and used in landscapes.

We made water conservation fun for you.

Every Retrace home will come equipped with a water metre, a beautifully designed brass and glass gauge that'll provide real-time data on water consumption across the plot.

This interactive interface not only helps you monitor your usage but also gives you feedback based on daily water usage. From time-related targets to rewards, this interactive water meter puts a fun twist on saving water.

The Zero Discharge Concept

At Retrace, we've implemented various strategies for water conservation and reuse. This includes the adoption of aquifer recharging techniques and the harvesting of rainwater in tanks and ponds for reuse purposes.

Moreover, the design of roof rainwater downpipes and stormwater drainage networks takes into account meteorological data on rainfall intensity in the area, ensuring efficient collection and management of stormwater.

Recharging with every rainfall

Retrace's landscape holds a secret - the art of using gravity for life's most vital resource: water. We've studied of the land's natural slopes and crafted a system that uses the land’s topography to channel water where it's needed.  

We track meteorological data and keep our rainwater harvesting systems primed for every storm. We utilise rainwater runoff by engineering the flow to avoid waste. Then, through aquifer recharging, and converting tanks and ponds into reservoirs, we capture as much water as possible. Our stormwater disposal system protects and enhances the ecological balance of the nearby lake, ensuring it continues to thrive for generations.
