Cleaner Technology Transfer to the Polish Textile ... - Miljøstyrelsen

2.1 Introduction
This Idea catalogue presents options for cleaner technology implementations
in the textile dyeing and printing industry. The catalogue is elaborated on the
basis of surveys in the Danish and the Polish textile industry. A total of 30 dyeing
and printing houses have been selected for a detailed investigation of
options for cleaner technology implementation, and these companies represent
the great variety in the industry very well.
A total of 41 different options have been identified within the four main categories.
Optimizations, Modernizations, Chemical savings, and Substitutions
and Re-use. For reasons of simplicity, the options are grouped in the three categories
• Savings in water consumption and effluent
• Chemical savings and substitution
• Re-use of water, energy and chemicals
The options are briefly described and the text is supported by a simple drawing
illustrating idea. This outline is not meant to go technically in detail, but aims
to give basis for thoughts for the textile technician, who can judge the relevance
of the idea to his company in each individual case.
