Domestic technical textiles Industry Segment-wise consumption of ...

OEKOTECH
Oekotech segment refers to use of technical textiles in Environmental Engineering. The primary
segment in this is Landfill waste management. This refers to the use of Geosynthetic products to
secure landfills against leakage of municipal or hazardous waste. Other areas include secondary
protection in Chemical/Oil Industries (ground covers and the like around process tanks for secondary
containment should the tanks leak).
A modern engineering landfill has the following components - a basal lining system to prevent the
contamination of soil, and ground water by pollutants, a capping system to seal the waste when the
capacity of the landfill is exhausted, an impervious sealing layer which prevents the entry of
pollutants in the ground, a leachate collection system for the collection and transmission of leachates
to a collection pit, a secondary leachate collection/leak detection system.
The market is expected to grow based on spends on municipal waste disposal in accordance
with Municipal Solid Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 2000, as well as greater
awareness and government activity on Hazardous Waste in accordance with Supreme Court
Guidelines. The market for Landfill management projects is currently around Rs 68 Crore.
