    Optimizing the steam usage through low temperature dyeing techniques for a low-Carbon textile Industry



    Admin
    Jun 01, 2024

    '

     

    The textile backward linkage factories are facing the two most hectic challenges, such as dealing with the increased cost of utilities and energy shortages while also meeting buyers' demands for reduced CO2 emissions. The low-temperature dyeing methods that minimize liquor ratios, shorten dyeing times, and maximize steam utilization are needed to address all of these issues.

    </br>

    The textile dyeing process stands out as a significant contributor to the carbon footprint of the textile & apparel industry. Dyeing fabric is a demanding process that uses a lot of energy and water. Just to colour 1 kilogram of grey fabric, it takes 2-3 kilograms of steam every hour. Typically, dyeing requires high temperatures for a long time, leading to a large amount of steam being produced from fossil fuels, which releases CO2 into the air.

    </br>

    Hence, the textile industry uses a lot of energy, which makes it costly to run. Energy alone can make up about 20% to 30% of all the money spent on making things, coming right after the cost of the materials used. Recently, gas prices have shot up, making things even tougher for Bangladeshi textile factories. Their gas bills have tripled, and on top of that, other fuels like diesel have gotten more expensive too, shrinking the amount of money they make. With labour costs also going up, factories have no choice but to find ways to spend less money.

    </br>

    Moreover, the low pressure of gas causes the industry to production loss and reprocessing of dyed fabric. According to the report of Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA),

    “The country’s export-oriented textile sector has incurred production loss worth $1.75 billion owing to the lack of enough natural gas supply to the factories”

    During this time when energy is scarce, clothing brands are telling factories to emit less CO2. The textile industry is estimated to be responsible for a staggering 10% of global emissions, making it the second largest polluter after oil, and the dyeing process stands as a significant contributor. The buyers are committed to reducing carbon emissions; they're closely watching how much CO2 factories let out. 

    Mohammad Reaz Uddin, a senior manager at HAMS Garments, says, “Brands are really pushing factories to emit less CO2. For example, H&M wants to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by a big amount—56% less by 2030 compared to 2019. And by 2040, they want to have zero CO2 emissions. This means they want to reduce emissions by 90% and use methods to take carbon out of the air. Other brands are also trying to emit less CO2. So, it's really important for our industry to do better because brands will keep pushing us.”

    </br>

    Nazrul Amin, another senior manager at HAMS Garments, says that by using a low-temperature dyeing method, we can save a lot of money and emit less CO2. This method is especially helpful for knit dyeing, which usually needs high temperatures.

    </br>

    Since the dyeing process uses a lot of energy and water, which adds to the industry's carbon footprint, if we start using low-temperature dyeing techniques, we can emit less CO2 and spend less on utilities by using less steam, making a big difference in reducing our industry's carbon footprint and making the world a cleaner, greener place.

    Textile sector to bring investment of ₹95,000 crore in next four-six years

    '

     

    Indian textile sector is expected to attract ₹95,000 crore investments in the next four-six years from two schemes – the production-linked incentive (PLI) to the sector, and the proposed seven PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel (PM MITRA) parks and generate over 2.25 million additional jobs, a senior official said.

    </br>

    “While the seven PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel (PM MITRA) parks are expected to attract 70,000 crore in four-six years with 20 lakh direct and indirect employments, the PLI scheme is likely to attract investments worth 25,000 crore with 2.5 lakh additional jobs,” textiles secretary Rachna Shah said on Friday.

    </br>

    Shah said 64 PLI proposals have been already approved and other 12 applications are under evaluation. Performance of units will be evaluated soon after gestation period is over on March 31, 2024, she added. According to the scheme, the government will start giving incentives from 2025-26. “In case of fast paced investment when threshold investment and threshold turnover is achieved by 2023-24, incentive may be payable in 2024-25 itself,” the scheme document said.

    </br>

    The PLI scheme for textiles sector is focused on man-made fibre (MMF) , MMF apparel and technical textiles to boost large scale manufacturing and enhancing competitiveness. Launched in September 2021, the 10,683 crore PLI scheme for textiles sector is expected to result into a cumulative turnover of over 3 lakh crore. It is part of the 1.97 lakh crore PLI schemes for 14 sectors including automobile, pharmaceuticals, telecom, steel, white goods and solar modules.

    </br>

    The other scheme -- the 4,445 crore PM MITRA parks -- was notified by the government in October 2021. They are aimed at creating a modern, integrated large-scale, world class industrial ecosystem that will help in attracting investments and boosting employment, she said. The seven sites are Virudhnagar in Tamil Nadu, Warangal in Telangana, Navsari in Gujarat, Kalaburagi in Karnataka, Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, and Amravati Maharashtra. It is estimated that each park will attract investment worth 10,000 crore from both foreign and domestic investors.

    </br>

    Shah said the government is taking several such policy measures to boost textile industry with the aim to make it $350 billion sector by 2030 from the current level of $154 billion. “One such effort is Bharat Tex, which is set to be the largest global textile event of India. The four-day event is beginning from Monday in New Delhi, which will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

    </br>

    “Besides China, India is the only country to have the entire textile value chain (from fibre to fabric and apparel), and Bharat Tex will project this strength before an international audience. This will showcase the entire strength of the textile ecosystem which is very unique to India,” she said. Bharat Tex will have participation from 100 countries and more than 3,000 trade buyers, she added.
