Eco-friendly Dyeing Machines

Dyeing Process under ETP-FKI has installed low liquor ratio machines in order to control water and chemical usage resulting in less water, less chemical, and superior results.

Effluent Treatment Plant

Fashion Knit Industries has made a significant multimillion-dollar investment in sustainability. The company has implemented an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) not only to address the treatment of process wastewater in accordance with Sindh Environmental Quality Standards (SEQS) but also to take an additional step forward. A recycling plant is installed, which utilizes the treated water from the ETP and recycles it, rendering it suitable for reuse in the dyeing process.
Almost 70% of the water will be recycled in order to give a safe environment and a greener and healthier world for our next generation

Recycle Plant

The Process Water Recycling Plant is a fully automated standalone unit that enables recycling of process water by treating the water in a cost-efficient manner.
The plant is specifically designed for concentrator plants, which dewater tailings and recycle water back to the process.
It enables undisturbed process performance by treating recycled water and removing accumulated substances to achieve the desired level of quality for the various duty points of the concentration process.

Reverse Osmosis

With a growing emphasis on environmentally friendly products, the company has set up three huge RO Plants of Severn Trent USA.
To control the quality of water that is used in the dyeing process.
The purified water not only is environmentally friendly but also provides a soft finish to the final product because of the removal of all the hardness from the water during the process

Heat Recovery Boiler

Due to this installation heat is transferred into steam and is further used and has a core function of recycling in order to protect the environment.

Solar Panel

FKI has also installed solar panels which adds a significant step towards sustainability that has gained momentum across various sectors. By harnessing the power of the sun, we can generate clean and renewable energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating the environmental impact of energy production. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, solar panels offer numerous sustainability benefits

ZDHC GATEWAY

FKI is also a part of ZDHC Gateway. The fundamental principle of the ZDHC Foundation is to provide direction for implementing a Chemical Management System (CMS) in alignment with the ZDHC Foundation’s mission, vision, objectives, and tools.

A sound chemical management system is paramount to worker safety and will reduce environmental impacts to the community and the broader environment.

Sustainable Packaging

In order to protect the environment, Fashion Knit Industries has also worked on sustainable packaging styles by covering FSC paper and delivering many articles
To reduce fabric wastage, FKI presents pouch packing as a replacement for poly-bags, utilizing leftover fabric of the same qualities.
FKI is committed to sustainability since plastic bags do not biodegrade, FKI now uses recycled poly bags, which reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills. As landfills play a significant role in the deterioration of our ecosystem, this helps to prevent land and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
