Aiming to be one of the most sustainable businesses in the textile sector, Sangam India has increased its use of clean energy besides ameliorating its waste treatment.
Stepping up focus on sustainability, Sangam India has installed two solar power plants to reduce its carbon footprint by 20 per cent per year. The company has also set up three effluent treatment plants and four sewerage treatment plants to reduce its industrial water contamination and enable the water to be reused.
Pranal Modani, Chief Business Strategist, says, the company aims to optimize its resource consumption while simultaneously developing ‘cleantech’ products that conserve resources themselves.”
The business plans to increase its use of recycled fibers and reduce its plastic waste. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the business will also focus on manufacturing organic cotton products. Its usage of organic cotton and organic fiber will help reduce the high levels of soil erosion and would eventually start improving the overall soil quality, adds Modani.
