VALUE THROUGH INNOVATION

We are continually upgrading technology and work practices to
reduce process waste. We continue to put increased focus on
recycling of waste to produce OE yarn for specific applications e.g.
PCR Yarn for lining fabric. This has resulted in better realization
and reduced hassles in compliance of selling waste. We installed
ring frame yarn break detector with roving stop motion, which
has reduced generation of roving waste.
We have increased the cone package size from 2.27 kg/cone to
2.83 kg & 3 kg/cone in domestic market, thereby reducing the
consumption of paper cones. This has resulted in a saving of 8%
in packing cost while packing in cartons.
• We have started using plastic tubes in open end. .The plastic
tubes can be reused three times whereas the paper tubes cannot
be reused.
• Recycling of reclaiming wooden pallets have been made more
effective by providing financial incentives to the transporter who
collects the reclaimed material and brings to ITS.
• We are using flat wastes of our process to produce open end
yarn for special applications.
• During the reporting period we have used 83MT of waste in
making yarns for special applications.
• We sell used oil to grease manufacturers to produce grease.
During the reporting period we have sold 2,580 kg of used oil to
such recyclers

In 2014, we had accounted the previously stored / used lubrication
oil due to this the quantity of hazardous waste reported for the
year 2014 was high.
There were no significant spills during the reporting period.
