Is it accurate to say that we are Destroying Something Permanently for Temporary Benefits?

Material industry is considered as one of the most risky businesses on the planet. An investigation of BUET group drove by Mohidus Samad Khan (Faculty part at Chemical Engineering Department) predicts that by 2021, the material and attire segment of our nation would send out merchandise worth $50 billion per year.

All things considered material manufacturing plants utilize 120 liter of water to color and wash a kg of texture (around two of pants) and the effluents are released into close by waterways or wetlands without legitimate treatment. So by 2021, this industry would dump 20,300 crore liter of untreated wastewater into the nation's water-bodies every year. 

Untreated profluent is a risk for fisheries, biodiversity, biological systems, widely varied vegetation. In any case, its creation is expanding step by step. The administration classifications material coloring enterprises as "Red businesses" (most contaminating) under the Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act, 1995 and the Environment Conservation Rules, 1997 and made Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) required for the industrial facilities. 

As per sources in the Bangladesh Textile Mills Association, the nation has around 450 turning plants, 1,200 weaving plants, 240 coloring factories and around 5,000 fare situated piece of clothing production lines. There are additionally a few thousand little coloring industrial facilities called the neighborhood markets. 

Division of Environment (DoE), in any case, guaranteed that they have given ETP establishment authorization to 1,376 material industrial facilities. Running the ETP is costly. It costs BDT 20 crore to BDT 35 crore to introduce. Again it takes BDT 20-30 for treating one cubic meter of water and the normal yearly operational expense for an ETP with 50-meter 3D shape limit is around 13.3 million BDT. 

Just 10% substance ETPs are kept running as they are costly to work, while every one of the industrial facilities utilize the organic ETPs as they are modest. The synthetic ETPs should be operational constantly. Again on account of high costs, regardless of having ETPs a few industrial facilities don't run them routinely. 

They just run them during the purchaser visits. Then again, little processing plants don't have ETPs because of space deficiency. The reluctance of organization proprietor to take part in condition insurance is the underlying driver, behind condition contamination. Outer weight is basic for Bangladesh to change. 

Pathways to Minimize the Ecological Footprints of Textile Industry to the Environment: 

Depending on Organic Sources 

Material colors which are produced using characteristic sources, for example, plants, minerals or creatures have lesser effect to nature. On the off chance that common colors are not financially savvy, organizations can go for eco-accommodating mechanical colors, for example, biodegradable colors, without azo colorants, and fiber responsive colors. 

Utilizing Sustainable Materials for Textile Production 

Materials that can be imitated in a brief timeframe, forcing a next to zero weight to the earth are feasible assets. Hemp, bamboo, natural cotton, alpaca fleece and soy silk are supportable strands. A large portion of these don't require utilizing color fixing operators bug sprays and progressively open of color items. 

Reusing washing water 

Material washing requires an enormous measure of water (by and large 80-100L water for 1kg of texture) to wash away the unfixed colors from the texture. Reusing a similar water for washing can decrease the interest of water. 

Water-Free or Less-Water Dyeing Technologies 

Creative coloring innovations have been created to limit the utilization of water, for example, dry-coloring (utilizing carbon dioxide), advanced printing, air-color and so on and further looks into are proceeding. Ventures need to embrace this up to stamp advances. 

Treating Dye Effluent 

Treatment of color profluent has no other option. There is an enormous assortment of substances present in them and a portion of the known techniques for treating color effluents are burning, organic treatment and assimilation to strong frameworks. In spite of the fact that every strategy have detriments, look into is persistently proceeding to locate the best treatment to reduce the effect color effluents on the biological system 

Setting up focal ETP plants might be useful for both of all shapes and sizes material industrial facilities. It will spare space and furthermore decrease the expense. Plus, in this segment, exacting checking is expected to spare our watery bodies. 

Reusing 

Material reusing is for both, natural and monetary advantages. Through reusing the life of garments, materials, towels, and textures can be delayed. Re-coloring and rebuilding can limit the general need of delivering texture and material, which eventually diminishes the business' effect to the earth. 

As our human progress propels in various ventures, dealing with our condition shouldn't be left at the sidelines. Truth be told, advancement and eco-accommodating methods for working together ought to go inseparably.
