Coimbatore, Dec. 7
In an attempt to identify potential technologies to address environmental issues, the Department of Textile Technology of PSG College of Technology in association with the Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC) conducted a workshop here on Wednesday.
Titled, ‘Technologies to Reduce Emission in Textile Industries’, the workshop saw more than 50 stakeholders from different sections pool in their ideas towards sustainable and eco friendly practices in the industry.
Regional stakeholders encompassing industry and academia who attended the workshop discussed energy conservation and how to map them with technological solutions.
A hands-on exercise on technology prioritisation for various sectors of textile value chain such as spinning, weaving, and textile chemical processing was conducted by the TIFAC team.
The participants were given the ‘Technology Scoring Sheet’ by TIFAC to map the potential areas and technologies with the economical and sustainable criteria. Sessions on exploring new ideas and sustainable technologies for energy conservation in spinning, weaving and textile chemical industry were also held.
The participants also gave suggestions in textile manufacturing process, value addition of waste products and sludge disposal and use. Based on that a report would be included in the Biennial Update Report, which will be submitted to MoEF&CC for further action.
