This closed loop plating facility and the CASTion zero-discharge flash distillation wastewater and chemistry recovery system not only resulted in appreciable cost savings, but also brought the company the Governor of Massachusetts Green Seal award for service to the state in its drive to improve the environment.

Conclusion

It is imperative that, while the government wants to promote the economy, it should also support the remedial measures taken towards sustaining the economy through implementation of pollution control measures in the industry. Like two sides of a coin where one side reflects the value and other side exhibits the Ashoka pillar, which is the symbol of pride of nation the nation also has two sides; i) Economy; ii) Environment. If the environment is not taken care of, then the economy would vanish.

Though the industrial units should be held responsible for polluting the environment and delaying the implementation of the zero-discharge system. Since most of the industrialist were agrarian, and most of them have not had enough education, these people were unaware of environmental problems that could arise due to industrial pollution. The lack of awareness, have forced them to pay no attention towards environmental safety and sustainable development.

Under the situation, it is imperative that the State and Central governments take immediate steps for necessary intervention to help out the industry to implement Zero-discharge system compulsory in order to avoid further environmental degradation and provide environmental security, industrial growth.
