ADOPTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
One of the key initiatives towards our social responsibility is minimising the carbon footprint. D’Decor operates five manufacturing plants located at Tarapur, India, with an output exceeding 120,000 meters a day. At any given point of time, the supply chain is capable of delivering more than 200,000 SKUs. The overall energy requirement to achieve this output is approximately 9.5 cr units annually. With an increased focus towards green energy, D’Decor has invested in rooftop solar panels at all the manufacturing units. The capacity of this is approximately 6.8 MW and it caters to about 10% of the total energy requirement. This not only helps the organization reduce the utility cost of operations but also goes a long way in reducing the carbon footprint. The solar rooftop installation at D’Decor was done in two phases spanning over 2 years, thus enabling our entire rooftop's real-estate capable of harnessing solar energy.

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.
