Sustainability
Research shows every glass of water we drink, every train journey we take and every pair of trousers we wear is consuming more resources than the earth can reproduce at the same time
TRU believes sustainability is the most important global issue of 21st century. Currently, resource depletion, climate change and water scarcity are few of the increasing environmental challenges our planet is facing. In addition, rise of world populations will continue to deplete more earth’s natural resources.
Research shows every glass of water we drink, every train journey we take and every pair of trousers we wear is consuming more resources than the earth can reproduce at the same time. According to statistics of first seven months of 2018, humans consumed a whole year’s worth of planet’s resources, based on metrics such as the ability to renew fresh water supplies and to absorb carbon. This is a deficit we are carrying year in, year out and every year the gap is getting wider. At present, we are using the resources of 1.7 earths.
The ultimate cost of barren forests, poisoned oceans and extinction of species is the collapse of our planet. And “there is no business on a dead planet” as Rick Ridgeway, VP of clothing company Patagonia said recently. There is a serious need to reverse our course if we like to give our future generations a world that has virgin forests, coral reefs and diverse wildlife.
Although, there is a limit to humankind’s role as Marco Lambertini, Director General of World Wildlife wrote “No human technology can fully replace nature’s technology, that has perfected over hundreds of millions of years in delivering key services to sustain life on earth.” Yet mankind is capable of repairing nature’s resources, just we have to be more responsible.
Businesses today can play an important role in saving the planet through innovation and contribute to the mission of leaving a healthy planet for tomorrow’s children. For example, advanced recycling solutions can replenish the earth’s resources.
Since TRU Fabrics Ltd.’s inception we are very much motivated to manufacture woven fabrics with recycle yarn, dyes and chemicals. Such as we are using traceable yarn made from recycled plastic bottles that offsets using new petroleum, emitting fewer greenhouse gases and conserving water and energy in the process. We are also using traceable high-performance dyes which are produced from non-edible agricultural or herbal industries waste such as leaves or nutshells.
In addition, our 3600 m3 per day capacity Biological Effluent Treatment Plant runs 365 days purify our industrial wastewater caused by fabric processing; and release safe water to environment for reuse.
That makes a big difference for our future.
Our initiative and goals

Environmental Initiatives
Effluent Treatment Plant
An Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) or Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is a unit plant where various physical, biological and chemical processes are used to change the properties of the waste water by removing harmful substances in order to turn it into a type of water that can be safely discharged into the environment.
Biological wastewater treatment is an important and integral step of wastewater treatment system. It uses microorganisms to degrade wastewater contaminants. This treatment rely on bacteria, nematodes, algae, fungi, protozoa, rotifers to break down unstable organic wastes using normal cellular processes to stable inorganic forms.
Condensate Recovery System
Condensate Recovery System In steam-using industries, Latent Heat refers to the energy required to transform water into steam, also known as the Enthalpy or Heat of Vaporization. By absorbing this Latent Heat, water becomes steam, and by releasing it, steam reverts to high temperature water (condensate) When steam condenses, at the threshold or instant of phase change, the condensate temperature is the same as steam because only the latent heat has been lost, and the full amount of sensible heat remains. This condition is known as “Saturated Water”. Not wasting, but rather recovering and reusing as much of this sensible heat as possible is one of the main reasons behind condensate recovery.
Caustic Recovery Plants (CRP)
Mercerisation is a finishing process in the textile industry where the textile fibres are treated under tensile stress with caustic soda. Large quantities of diluted caustic soda (weak lye) are a waste product of this process. Caustic Recovery Plants (CRP) can turn a very large proportion of this weak lye into reusable concentrated caustic soda.
Rainwater Harvesting
Water is the reason why life exists on planet Earth, without it life is unimaginable. However, freshwater sources are becoming scarce with the passage of time. Reports of several global agencies including United Nations indicate that if the current situation of water does not change and preventive measures are not taken, then the world will start to run out of fresh water by 2050. Rainwater Harvesting is a sustainable process that helps in preserving rainwater for different purposes and for future needs as well. Rainwater Harvesting is a method of collecting and storing rainwater to be used for various purposes while it can be used in future as well.
Heat Exchanger
A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. All of our steam consuming machinery have heat exchangers saving a lot of fossil fuel by reusing this heat.
Exhaust Gas Boiler (EGB)
EGB- We have successfully installed Exhaust Gas Boiler which is saving money and saving the environment by releasing less temperature to nature.
