Embracing Sustainable Practices
Among many pollution-creating industries, the textile sector has a larger impact on the soil, air and water, causing biosphere destruction. Breaking the hazardous cycle is the apparel manufacturing and trading company, Chandra Fabrics which primarily incorporates recycled yarn into clothing, boosting sustainable industrial practices. The company’s eco-friendly efforts were acknowledged at the recently held Emerging Businesses Awards 2023 where its environment consciousness bagged the title of ‘Most Innovative Products by Emerging Enterprise’.
Founded in 1995, Chandra Fabrics is committed to diversifying textile products catering to a broader customer base. Through intensive research and market analysis the company aims to stand ahead in the textile sector by embracing new industrial innovations.
Leveraging Technology
According to reports, the textile industry is attributed to producing 1000 million kg of yarn per annum and as the sector contributes to wet processing it causes about 70 per cent of the country’s overall pollution. Considering the grave problem, Chandra Fabrics believes in the adoption of digital processes creating advanced products to push the old manufacturing patterns. The company is significantly determined to invest in research and development, fostering a continuous improvement and breakthrough culture.
Echoing the technological steps, Ankur Jain, Director of Chandra Fabrics said, “By resourcing technology we are exploring new materials, modern techniques, and designs that are generating revenues and responsibly redefining a system to control pollution.”
He stressed that by leveraging innovative manufacturing techniques and sourcing nature-friendly materials the company has successfully reduced waste, with greener solutions.
Manufacturing Plans
Speaking to BW Businessworld, Jain said, “We are looking forward to expanding our manufacturing capacity by optimising production processes and implementing automation to increase our production. This is an attempt to ensure meeting the growing demands of consumers worldwide.”
He underlined the company is working meticulously to achieve its vision of reaching new geographical regions and countries by promoting customised products and designs.
Future Plans
The yarn industry in India has massive potential and with the Centre’s supportive measures -new investments, reduction in import duties, central excise duty, and other taxes, the future holds a promising growth. Thus, pinning hope towards the optimistic industry, Chandra Fabrics has started using different materials and colour options twice in a season. To attract consumer conscious choices, it has further switched to knitted and woven products from recycled yarn, which is currently contributing 50 per cent of its production. The company is strongly dedicated to taking sustainable fashion to a new level in India and across the globe.
