JalSevak Solutions is a pioneering company specializing in wastewater treatment technology. They partnered with Monk Spaces to obtain two Type I Ecolabels – GreenPro and GRIHA Product Catalogue. Type I Ecolabels are awarded to products and services meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle. These labels ensure superior environmental performance. JalSevak’s innovative Washroom Wastewater Recycler focuses on sustainable and efficient wastewater management. This groundbreaking product is India’s first compact, on-site, affordable greywater recycling solution for residential and commercial facilities.

GreenPro certification, awarded by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), enables users to select sustainable products, materials, and technologies. This certification aids in reducing environmental impacts and improving the performance of green buildings and companies. To get this certification for JalSevak, Monk Spaces assisted in the following manner:

1. Gathered Comprehensive Data: Our team gathered and developed detailed narratives on wastewater treatment technology, including process flows, input-output analyses at each stage, and waste disposal strategies. We also documented the product’s application range, such as its use in residential buildings, commercial facilities, hotels, and educational institutions, emphasizing its versatility and effectiveness. We also collected test results from NABL-accredited labs, demonstrating the treated water’s compliance with CPCB norms. These tests covered essential parameters such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), pH levels, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
2. Coordination with JalSevak and GreenPro: We ensured seamless communication by regularly coordinating meetings, providing timely updates, and addressing all queries and concerns. Our proactive approach facilitated smooth collaboration between all stakeholders.
3. Uploading Data: We comprehensively uploaded all necessary documentation and data to the GreenPro portal. This involved organizing and digitizing extensive information, ensuring all required evidence was accurately represented and accessible to the certification bodies.
4. Coordinating Site Visit: We affiliated the site visit by GreenPro with the JalSevak manufacturing facility. This included preparing the on-site team for inspection, ensuring all operational aspects were showcased, and arranging detailed presentations highlighting the system’s performance and compliance with certification standards.

GRIHA Product Catalogue, managed by the GRIHA Council, evaluates the environmental performance of a building over its entire lifecycle. It accesses various criteria such as energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, and indoor air quality. For Jal Sevak, Monk Spaces simplified this process through

1. Data Collection: Our team gathered comprehensive data on JalSevak’s wastewater treatment technology. This included detailed narratives describing the entire process flow, input-output analysis at each stage, waste disposal strategies, and third-party test reports demonstrating the treated water’s compliance with CPCB norms.
2. Development of Documentation: As in the case of GreenPro, we developed extensive documentation required for GRIHA certification. This included a detailed narrative of the wastewater treatment process and information on the product’s manufacturing details.
3. Data Submission: We meticulously organized and submitted all necessary data and documents to the GRIHA certification platform. This involved ensuring that all evidence was accurately represented, easy to access and met the requirements set by the GRIHA Council.
4. Coordination with GRIHA: We maintained seamless communication with the GRIHA Council, promptly addressing any queries and concerns. Our team ensured that all aspects of the certification process were managed smoothly, from initial data submission to final approval.

By securing GreenPro and GRIHA certifications, JalSevak demonstrates its dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Monk Spaces remains committed to supporting innovative companies like JalSevak in their journey toward a greener future.
