We are committed to reducing carbon emissions and aligning with global standards to address climate change.
Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)
In 2023, Kohinoor Mills committed to reducing its carbon emissions by aligning with the SBTi. We are actively quantifying both our direct and indirect emissions, with plans to formalize our reduction targets soon.
Waste Heat Recovery
Over 35% of our thermal energy needs are met through waste heat recovery systems. Waste Heat Steam Generators and economizers optimize energy use by generating hot water for fabric processing.
Carbon-Neutral Energy Sources
80% of our thermal energy requirements are met through carbon-neutral sources, including waste heat recovery and agricultural biomass boilers.
Energy Efficiency
Optimizations in compressors, motors, and lighting systems have reduced annual power consumption by 3,200 MWh.
Heat Optimization
The ATMOSET system recycles heat efficiently in our dyeing process, reducing steam consumption and managing moisture.
Reforestation
Over five years, we have planted 45,868 trees at our facility and surrounding areas.
Achievements
Reduced carbon emissions by 43% over the past five years.
Decreased fossil fuel consumption by 15% through biomass boilers and heat recovery systems.
Planted 45,868 trees as part of reforestation efforts.
Targets
Plant 100,000 trees by 2025.
Convert thermal oil heaters to biomass-based alternatives by 2025.
Transition electricity production to biomass-based steam turbines by 2028.
Reduce carbon emissions by an additional 60% and achieve net-zero by 2030.
Water
Water
We recognize water as a precious resource and are committed to its responsible and sustainable use.
Effluent Treatment and Water Recycling
Our Effluent Treatment Plant processes all wastewater. Additionally, 30% is filtered through a Reverse Osmosis Plant and reused, reducing groundwater extraction.
Rainwater Harvesting
Filtered rainwater is stored in an underground reservoir, providing 500 cubic meters for groundwater recharge.
Efficient Water Management
Fabric recipes are optimized to minimize water use, and metered machines prevent excess consumption.
Testing and Compliance
We adhere to Zero Discharge of Hazardous Waste protocols with routine third-party and onsite testing, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Achievements
Reduced water consumption by 69% in the past two years.
Introduced reduced-water dyeing processes, cutting water usage by 3%.
Recycled and reused 30% of water in manufacturing.
Targets
Increase recycled water usage to 60% by 2025.
Expand rainwater harvesting capacity by 33% by 2027.
Achieve zero liquid discharge by 2030.
Waste
Waste
Minimizing waste and promoting circular economy principles are central to our sustainability strategy.
Waste Diversion
Annually, 500 chemical drums are reused or refilled, preventing incineration.
Material Reuse
Paper rolls and packaging materials are reused between dyeing and weaving mills, reducing waste generation.
Supporting Local Industry
B-grade and leftover fabric is sold to local traders and garment factories.
Hazardous Waste Management
Hazardous waste is incinerated off-site by EPA-approved contractors.
Achievements
Reduced total waste by 42% over the past two years.
Diverted 100% of waste from landfills through recycling, upcycling, and waste sales.
Achieved zero waste to landfill since 2023.
Targets
Further reduce overall waste by 15% by 2025.
Launch a recycled fabrics product line by 2026.
Materials
