LED sewing machines

Highly efficient LED lights are installed in all sewing machines as well as garments finishing floors thus reducing electricity consumption significantly, lowering our factory’s carbon emissions. 

Energy efficient sewing machines

All sewing machines are controlled by servo drive that protects motor life and conserves electricity use by 60%.

Condensation Trap

In washing, finishing, dyeing and garments ironing section Echotex has installed condensation traps and condensate recovery pumps. The condensation is collected and transferred to the boiler feed tank, reducing the amount of energy needed to heat the rest of the tank.

Soft startup Washing Machines, Booster Pumps and Air Compressor

Washing units, washing machines, air compressors and booster pumps are controlled by inverters that uses soft starter in motor operation, significantly reduction energy requirements.

Economiser Boiler

Our boiler feed tank is properly insulated to maintain the feed water temperature above 90 degrees celsius at all times. Moreover, we are using a built-in economiser in the boilder that recovers heat from exhaust gases, and transfers this to the incoming boiler feed water, thus increasing the overall boiler thermal efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions.

Heat Recovery in Dyeing

We use low liquor ratio dyeing machines that significantly reduces water consumption. These dyeing machines also have inbuilt heat recovery systems that saves considerable energy.

Heat Recovery in Finishing

Heat Recover system from stenter machine exhaust and condensed recovery from compactor machine, which reduced thermal energy consumption by 20% and lowered the factories CO2 emissions.

Exhaust Gas Boiler (EGB)

EGB operates by exhaust gas from two gas generators. 1500 kg/hr of steam is produced from the EGB boiler which saves 83,8656 m3/year. Gas consumption is equivalent to 7,393,591.3 KWh/year as well as reduced emission of  1509.5 CO2 tons/year .

Through such pioneering practices, Echotex is saving 19,577,964 KWh of energy per year and reducing CO2 green house gas emissions by 4,191 tons per year.

CO2 green house gas reduction in tons per year.

Science Based Target Initiative

We Echotex Ltd have set a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target covering Scope 1 & 2 emissions in line with the latest criteria and recommendations of the SBTi which supports the ambition of the Paris Agreement in limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre- industrial levels.

The baseline year is 2022, target year 2030 and emission reduction target 42%.

 We Echotex Ltd have been working with one of our customers (global brand) to understand and address our Scope 3 emissions.

We confirm that the Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturing sites we contract with have set greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets covering the manufacturing sites Scope 1 & 2 emissions, in line with the criteria and recommendations of the SBTi.
