Sustainability Preamble

The need to exhibit green practices has been made crucial by changing times to be smarter and more economically green is vitally important now more than ever.

We respect the environment and are fully aware of our responsibilities for its protection. We proudly recycle 60% of our water through various filtration methods and our latest ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) to achieve the desired water quality.

  • Our ETP compliant with ZDHC wastewater standard assures to reduce pollutant loading to our natural water resources.
  • To measure and filter out more accurate impacts on the environment, EIM (Environment Impact Measurement) provides a detail insight of washing process and help us to remain align with SDG 9.
  • Multi fuel steam generation boiler is installed to reduce fuel consumption and to shift on biomass.
  • We closely monitor the overall chemical use and environmental performance in various production processes and keep a record with global sustainability standards i.e ZDHC, Blue Sign, Oeko-Tex etc.
    • Achievements
    The textile industry is very water-intensive. Water is used for cleaning the raw material and for many flushing steps during the whole production. Produced wastewater has to be cleaned from, fat, oil, color and other chemicals, which are used during the several production steps.

     We at Samad apparel try our best to reduce water consumption in production and the other waterconsuming areas to reduce the load on ETP, Less water we pollute the less water we have to treat.In collaboration with GIZ we did a Time and Water Efficiency project, which considerably reduced the time, energy and water consumption per garment.
    Water Management
    Samad Apparel sustainability initiatives aligned with ZDHC road map to zero programs to tackle the use of hazardous chemicals in the textile supply chain. The chemical management program at Samad Apparel ensures the use of safe input chemicals by inducting ZDHC MRSL and RSL compliant chemicals. Using ZDHC gateway and InCheck solution, continuously we are bringing transparency in chemical inventory and management.
