The Fresh Air Group began in 2003 with its main company, Fresh Air Waste Management. We serve as a Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility that provides complete services - from collection and transport to treatment and disposal - for biomedical waste from Health Care Facilities across multiple districts.
We started with just one health care facility and have now grown to serve over 500 facilities. Our services have expanded to include building Effluent Treatment Plants and Sewage Treatment Plants for major clients across North East India, including NF Railway, Oil India, ONGC, IIT Guwahati, and the Shillong Municipal Board.
Our group has grown to include other important businesses. We have a sister company called Forcetech Engineering that focuses on recycling plastic waste from its facility in Panikhaiti, Guwahati. We also run Tiger Camp, a nature resort that welcomes visitors.
Looking ahead, we are preparing to open a new unit in Dhing, Nagaon district in December 2025, which will help us serve more communities.
