Water usage is a major issue in our industry and our appointed sustainability team works hard to address this issue via our water consumption savings project. Every year, we aim at reducing our water consumption levels per unit produced. Using new generation washing machines we are able to wash with one glass of water per product, which leads to 95% water savings and 75% less chemicals.

Furthermore, during the washing process steam is regained and reused in our heating systems. The steam goes into the condensing line and we obtain hot water at 90 degrees Celsius. Today we have invested in environmentally friendly technology to further develop alternative solutions. Using laser technology we have had savings up to 100% in chemical and water use in the dry processing, washing effect, and permanganate spray processes.

ACT SHEET

T&C has established a wastewater treatment plant that allows us to treat with textile laundry wastewater, which is always an issue in our region. The scarcity of natural water resources needs to be addressed and water reuse is imperative. As we increase ZDHC gateway activates we publish ZDHC WW test results every 6 months. Staying up to date with the best practices, we plan to develop our water treatment capabilities into water recycling. We are working with local and international institutions such as Prop arco on this project.
