The implementation of new technologies to reduce the use of energy and water in the clothing production processes can have a significant impact on both the environment and business costs. Viyellatex stands out for its initiatives in this matter and has achieved numerous awards for business, social and environmental performance for its commitment.

The textile industry relies heavily on water and energy use. Better water management system can deliver cost and productivity benefits that, together with renewable energy sources, can contribute to the development of more sustainable manufacturing systems.

Headquartered in Dhaka, the company operates along various stages of the fashion and textile value chain from spinning to garment production. Committed to the United Nations Private Sector Forum to be 25% more energy efficient by 2015, the company relies on cutting edge technology in its vertically integrated manufacturing units to achieve this goal. Some of the initiatives include rainwater harvesting system, skylight ceilings, solar panels, output wastage of steam in heat boilers, recycling heat from dyeing units.  

The organisation has earned a solid reputation both locally and globally in the textile and apparel sector due its commitment to a cleaner and greener environment. An estimated 35% of energy savings were achieved through various initiatives translating into an economic benefit of total Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) 27 million (USD 400,000) in 2010. Also, using the output wastage of steam alone achieved 40% savings compared to the original heating costs.
