Methods of waste management

Methods of waste management – Fabric processing is a continuous process to run. One process is followed by another. Raw fabric is produced from yarn. Afterwards, this raw fabric is processed and finished to make complete garment fabric. Engagement of huge chemicals, dyes and water results complete fabric. Therefore, generation of waste follows every step of fabric production. We need ETP Audit Report

There are other sources of waste, which are not directly associated with fabric processing, but they help to run and control the production cycle. These sources are like Human Resource Development (HRD) Department, Maintenance Department, and Store Department etc. In the following tables, we have gathered the lists of almost all wastes generated from all sections or departments

Waste management is a big issue for any organization. No single department or section can handle this giant job all alone. Therefore, we have an Environment Management Team (EMT) to deal with environmental issues such as waste management. The main job of this team is to integrate all necessary people from all concerned departments in a single platform so that they can think alike regarding environmental management system. The existence of this team has made the job easier for Auto  Textiles Ltd. to establish a better water management system.

Department of Environment (DOE) has formed some specific norms and regulations for industrial sectors regarding environmental pollution and control to keep the environment healthy. These rules & regulations are followed as general guidelines all over the country. We respect these rules and we are already following to comply with national rules, regulations and law. It is very difficult to run business in an environmental manner in a country like Bangladesh where lack of awareness and technological backwardness are never ending problems to deal with. Moreover, a better waste management system is only possible after combined integrated efforts from all concerned departments. Firstly, we have classified our wastes according to their nature & properties. Afterwards, we have enlisted all the wastes from all departments or sections we are dealing with. Then, we have decided the right disposal procedure for each waste. , we have already taken some research & development initiatives for the best wastewater management. However, we are putting all are combined efforts to manage our wastes. The followings are the procedural measures that we are following to materialize better waste management system:
