KGFabriks receives national water award

KGFabriks is connected 24/7 online to the water quality monitoring centre, Government of Tamil Nadu, and is a zero-solid and zero-liquid discharge plant situated at the SIPCOT industrial complex in Perundurai.

“Textile processing is considered to be very dirty. But with active knowledge sharing with peer industries located at SIPCOT, innovative in-house developed technologies, and with a philosophy of ‘reuse, reduce and recycle’, KGFabriks has been able to reduce water, chemical and energy footprint to a great extent,” a press release said. “This effort has helped KGFabriks get “green denim” tag for its products and is a certified Green product, certified by TUV Nord.”

“The entire credit goes to the manufacturing team at KGFabriks. Every employee is a chief sustainability officer and we help save the drinking water needs of a town of a population of 1 million every day,” said Kannapiran Mills managing director Srihari Balakrishnan.

With this award, KGFabriks—a member company of Indian Texpreneurs Federation (ITF)—is rated as one of the most sustainable textile manufacturing companies in India.

“Water saving is going to be the next big theme of textile manufacturing. Our member KGFabriks has excelled in this area and the efforts have been recognised by the Indian government by giving the company the first place in national ranking,” said ITF convenor Prabhu Dhamodharan.

“Sustainable textiles is the new trend in the international markets and buyers are giving much importance to this factor. With its effort and award, KG Fabriks is creating a new roadmap for others to follow and we expect more companies in our region to focus more on water conservation,” Dhamodharan added. (RKS)
