energy shortages through innovative partnerships and open dialogue with customers,
NGOs, suppliers and governments. We aim to position our technology and develop our
vision for a bio based economy. Our biological solutions enable companies to produce
more with less environmental impact. In fact, by applying Novozymes’ bio solutions,
customers reduced their CO2 emissions by an estimated 52 million tons in 2013 –
equivalent to taking approximately 20 million cars off the road.

12. • Sustainable Product
1) Biopolishing in Dyeing
Most cotton knit fabrics and garments have tiny, protrudent fibers and dead cotton that
quickly become the cause of pilling once washed or worn. Pills are most often removed
through the process called biopolishing. In biopolishing, cellullase enzymes remove the
fibers from cotton which makes the surface of the fabrics and garments clean for
longer.
2) Bleach Clean-Up
Consistent bleach clean-up is key to even dyeing and shade reproducibility. Bleach
clean-up is traditionally carried out using a reducing agent or hot water for rinsing, and
both methods require a lot of water. An enzymatic approach reduces the use of water
and energy.
3) Abrasion Including Prewash
Abrasion is the process for creating stone-washed looks in jeans. There are two
traditional ways of abrading jeans and obtain a stonewash look: Pumice stone and
enzymes.

21. POLYGENTA
•About Polygenta
Polygenta Technologies Limited (PTL) is a leading manufacturer of Polyester Filament
Yarn (PFY) using post-consumer PET bottles (i.e. a high-grade polyester) as its
feedstock. Polygenta’s plant located in Nashik (Maharashtra, India) converts 1.5
million bottles per day to produce roughly 10,000 MTs per annum of sustainable
premium PFY. PTL also has plans to expand this capacity significantly.
Company achieve this with its proprietary “ReNEW” process. ReNEW chemically “de-
constructs” the long chain “poly-ester” hard plastic that PET bottles are made of into
their original “building blocks” of individual esters in liquid form. After high purity
filtration of this liquid, these esters can be substituted for high-grade conventional
polyester petrochemical feedstock refined from crude oil (PTA and MEG).
•Green initiatives
Polygenta focuses on four products: high quality textile DTY, POY and chips and the
sale of recycled ester to 3rd party polyester plants. In essence, ReNEW applies
sophisticated chemical processes and controls – comparable to those used in high-end
refining to generate high-purity feedstocks PTA and MEG – to an environmentally
preferred feedstock (i.e. polyester PET bottles saved from landfills rather than crude
oil, with its higher environmental impact).

22. •Sustainable Products
PTL offers 100% recycled polyester filament yarn made from recycling post consumer
PET bottles.

responsible commitment to the environments we invest in.

38. • Sustainable Products
Organic Cotton Fabric
Of all organic fibres, organic cotton is one of the most popular. We also use sustainable
fabrics like bamboo, soy and hemp. As shelter apparel we use regular cotton. We use
all organic and sustainable products because it is environment friendly and the fabric
also feels amazing besides having many great properties.
Organic Cotton Fabric uses natural fertilizers and pesticides which makes it a perfect
skin care and nature care fiber. The weaving of Organic Cotton involves strict
adherence to environment safety. Organic Cotton Fabric weaved by Balavigna Weaving
Mills is recognized for its quality. Also we have been certified by various agencies that
certify that no synthetic material has been used in manufacturing the fabric.
