From September 2019 to June 2021, PITCO, in collaboration with DESL, has been conducting Levi’s multi-country supplier PaCT assessments in Karachi and Lahore, Pakistan. The project, funded by the IFC, aims to drive long-term competitiveness and environmental sustainability in the textile wet processing sector by addressing high water, energy, and chemical use. The project involves basic and in-depth cleaner production (CP) assessments to identify opportunities for investing in advanced technologies and adopting global best practices.
The project involves assessing the current usage of water, energy, chemicals, and wastewater discharge in factories. Our team identifies saving opportunities for delivering water and energy more efficiently and less wastefully. PITCO develop various options and investment plans to reduce water, energy, and chemical consumption, and improve ETP and WTP performance. Services include pre-assessment questionnaires, energy consumption analysis, calculation of chemical use, and waste management practices. Workshops are organized to train factory personnel on cleaner production methodology, and detailed energy and water assessment reports are prepared. Proposed interventions include installing energy-efficient equipment, implementing energy management systems, and waste heat recovery improvements.
