A study on environmental standards in spinning industries for sustainable development

So, it is clearly evident from the above discussions, the researcher came to understand that the stipulation of both environmental standards and the development of energy saving culture in the spinning industry was depended on the availability of necessary pollution control strategies in the industry, installation of cleaner and energy efficient technology, implementation of extended supply chain practices, management and handling of modern technology which were used in controlling pollution and utilization of energy resources. Apart from these, the pollution control enforcement agency should monitor the pollution emitting industries and should prescribe the environmental standards exclusively for spinning industries. Since the TSPCB has not yet prescribed any separate environmental standards for the spinning industry, it is difficult to assess the optimal environmental standards to the selected spinning industries. Among these, there is no any uniformity in the available infrastructure facilities and technology used for energy saving and pollution control techniques. It was also found that the techniques used by the industries differ from each other. From the broad and extensive research work conducted by experts, the researcher understand that there were many energy saving and pollution control techniques like compressed air leakage- detecting techniques and humidity control mechanism etc. Which were used in the spinning industries located in other countries like China, Pakistan and Zimbabwe were absent in the selected industries. Therefore, the selected spinning sectors should try to introduce the latest technologies in controlling the liquid and air pollution and energy saving techniques. Since, the selected industries were medium level industries, they could not install or introduce any modern, sophisticated energy saving and pollution control technology. In this regard, these selected industries have to depend on the State and the Central Government's assistance to replace all the present outdated technology and introduce a new and innovative energy saving technology for pollution controlling plants. With these approaches and strategies, spinning sector can substantially contributing to the sustainable environmental and industrial development in Tiruppur and Virudhunagar regions.
