  • Rain water harvesting (Bea-Con-2 & Metro-2)

Effulgent Treatment Plant: ETP purifies the wastewater by removing toxic materials & chemicals from it to ensure pollution free water, which is then reused for multiple purposes.We have setup ETP’s across our manufacturing plants in order to lower water pollution levels and reuse water to lower overall consumption levels. Current capacity is at 200 CBM.

Chemical
  • Purchasing ZDHC positive listed chemical
  • Follow up supplier positive listed chemical status and
    collect complaint SDS from the supplier.
  • Regular check by ZDHC gateway
  • Monthly report analysis
  • Raw Chemical test on relevant hazard by third party
Rainwater Harvesting

we are heavy dependent on groundwater to meet our water demand. As a result, the groundwater level is decreasing day by day.

To secure our future (business & domestic) needs, we have to find alternatives. Rainwater is one of the option which is as pure as groundwater, in some areas the quality even better. For this reason we are going to collect rainwater from our factory catchment area

  • The factory has = 17260 square meters catchment
    area.
  • which can harvest = 27795 cubic meter rainwater
    annually

Technically support us water aid

Incineration boiler install

Wastes convert to energy by incineration boiler install

Previous time we are depend on natural gas, Diesel, PDB electricity to fulfill our demand,
after install incineration boiler we are savings our natural resources.

Project Trishna

Project Trishna, implemented in 2015, is a social venture designed by Footsteps to holistically address the drinking water challenges in communities across Bangladesh. The venture was initially implemented to address the needs of pedestrians by setting up safe water systems in public spaces which were funded by donor individuals and private corporations under the venture’s Corporate Social Responsibility platform.

In November 2022, with support from Panam Group Footsteps has installed water purification system in 2 different schools in Narayanganj, which are giving access to safe drinking water to the school students, school staff, and nearby community members.
