Corporate Social Responsibility

• EFFLUENT WATER TREATMENT

  Textile processing encompasses a number of complex activities during the conversion of grey cloth into finished fabrics. These processes include washing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, rinsing and involve the use of a diverse and varying mixture of organic and inorganic chemicals including dyes. As a result, the typical pollutant load of textile waste water is characterized by high colour content, suspended solids, dissolved salts and organic compounds.

  D'Decor has set up a full-fledged 100% two stage Biological Effluent Treatment Plant comprising of anaerobic and aerobic treatment. The water output from this plant is then treated with UF+RO (ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis) making a majority of water ready for re-use. The plant treats 2855 cubic meter of water on a daily basis. Additionally, we have installed Solar Sludge Drying Plant to dry the biological sludge generated from the ETP.

  D'Decor complies with global norms of ISO 14001:2015 (Environment Management System), ISO 450001:2018 (OHSAS) and Detox To Zero by Oeko-Tex.
