As the world is moving towards a sustainable apparel ecosystem, Rising Group understands its role in this movement. Keeping alliance with that movement, the company has created Mahmuda Attires Ltdtheir first green factory.

Problem

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)

Solution

At Mahmuda Attires Ltdtheir first green factory, Rising group has integrated renewable energy sources, taken water reduction measures and ensured an ethical environment for all its stakeholders. The factory is LEED certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). At Mahmuda Attires Ltd, Rising group took measures to harvest rain water and reduce water consumption as much as possible. In pursuit of making its factories more sustainable it has introduced solar energy to partially power its facilities and reduce the grid electricity consumption. Solar integration has been Rising group greatest leap that led the company to produce 3000KW/hour of clean energy to run daily operations. Finally, as in all factories, Rising group uses Effluent Treatment Plants or (ETPs) to purify water and remove any toxic and non toxic materials or chemicals from it.
