In line with INCTL’s commitment to sustainability and compliance, the company has introduced several water efficient solutions, such as rain water harvesting, water treatment and reuse, and NANO-DYE and CPB technology.

It’s estimated that processing (including spinning, dyeing, finishing) a kilogram of fibre (not just cotton, but also polyester and other materials) requires 100 to 150 litres of water. (The State of the Apparel Sector, 2015, Special Report: Water)

INCTL is the first company to adopt both NANO-DYE and Cold Pad Batch – CPB technology, which makes their dyeing process unique in the world. Nano-Dye is closing the loop of existing exhaust dyeing while saving on power, water and dyestuff. CPB dyeing process is also environment friendly due to high dye fixation and non-requirement of salt and thermal energy. The company is equipped with all latest technologies and utilizes central ERP system, which is rare in the textile sector. As an environmentally compliant company, the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is a core activity in INCTL. Utilising aerobic and anaerobic digestion process, it recycles harmful chemicals generated from the Dyeing and Finishing processes before discharge into waterways. Reducing the carbon footprint is an integral part of operations and the company re-uses wastewater after treatment. There is also a rainwater harvesting system that saves about 44 million liters of ground water.
