September 7, 2023 - The international company - global supplier of nets and ropes for aquaculture - manages its roadmap to become carbon neutral. "Our actions, products and commitments demonstrate a solid focus towards sustainability and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. By continuing to implement these practices, we contribute to mitigating climate change and promoting a more sustainable future," says Gopakumar Menon, manager Americas Garware Technical Fibres.
Currently, 40 percent of the energy sources in its plants come from wind power. In the future, they project that 65 percent will come from a renewable energy source. The implementation of actions to reduce emissions, such as the adoption of renewable energy sources and the improvement of energy efficiency, has led to a significant reduction of 123 million kilograms of CO2 equivalent.
Regarding recycling and water conservation, Garware recycles 65 percent of the waste produced internally and sells the remaining 35 percent to other recyclers, In addition, it completely recycles the wastewater generated in its operations and reuses it in secondary applications, this the average water consumption has been reduced by 25 percent, if we compare the fiscal year 2021-22 with the fiscal year 2019. It has also significantly decreased the Greenhouse Gas Emissions per Ton of Production: Up 24 percent in FY21-22 compared to FY2019.
Captive user of solar energy generated by TP Bhaskar Renovables
In this commitment to sustainability, Garware recently acquired a 26 percent stake in TP Bhaskar Renewables (TPBRL), which will enable the company to become a captive user of TPBRL generated solar 'green energy', encouraging the use of renewable sources of renewable energy. "Green energy is clean energy, it comes from an inexhaustible energy source, it does not generate polluting emissions or greenhouse gases, it promotes energy independence and generation for self-consumption, it is sustainable and it is implemented to diversify energy sources", Menon comments.
Sustainable solutions
Garware invests in scientific research and development to create the next generation of green products for the aquaculture industry; More than a decade ago, he set a vision for the company to work primarily on sustainable solutions. "We are pioneers in the introduction of HDPE in the aquaculture market, reducing the carbon footprint. Provide more than 25,000 metric tons of HDPE netting solutions to the aquaculture industry, leading to a reduction of 112.5 million kilograms of CO2 equivalent.
