SustainableDevelopmentThe quality of TCI products is based on the respect for the recommendations of the strictes tquality standards bound to health and safety and also to the quality of the selected materials used in production.

Because of the current economic imperatives and those to come in the future, the prospects for the evolution of the textiles are especially placed under the sphere of the environment.The objective are to :

Decrease  consumption of water and energy,

Reduction of processing times, which will lower the general environmental impact of production processing,

Increasing quantity and fewer reprocesses

TCI , due to its commitment to textile chemistry and history of more than 50 years of experience as major suppliers of textile auxiliaries, is obligated to a sustainable future for textile processing.Its products are compliant with international requirements such as OEKOTEX and REACH eg its system of production does not allow any NPEO based emulsifiers usage .

Our Action PlansOur investment in the futureA very important programme was implemented with the detailed studies in Health and Safety and the Environment. The study target is to optimize our aims and objectives. The programme, is committed within a framework of a risk prevention policy for major accidents on our production sites integrated with a wide plan to optimize  and validate actions to decrease any environmental risk. These actions are concerned with waste management and emissions to the air, water and to the earth.  Numerous studies are undertaken including

9

the study of lightning, studies of the ground, and surveys of healthrisks. All these operations allow continuing improvements of risk management on our site.

Quality of WaterAmong the lead programmes, many developments correspond directly to the protection of water sources. Subsoil water is taken and put through in house reverse osmosis plants that ensure correct quality of water. Effluents are checked with the standards of the Government department . There is no chemical discharge in surrounding water source of waste water.

WasteTreatmentAnother priority focus is inventory management and the reduction of waste. All the zones of storage put on our site are optimized and stored properly by class of danger.

Renewable RawMaterialsSome rawmaterials come from plants, vegetables and trees. The renewable materials can be available in an unlimited way if a good management in insured. The future of the chemistry lies thus partially in the increasing use of the renewable rawmaterials which arise from production vegetables and which don’tdamage the environment. TCI isactively pursuing the prospects of using solarenergy to substitute its gas burning chambers to heat water used in the industry.

Our ProductsTCI offers products having the lowest possible impact on the environment, during the manufacturing process we choose the “greenest” sources of rawmaterials and then optimise the production process. We make internal and external studies to ensure that out textile products can offer our customers added benefits such as a reduction in water, energy- consumption and often processing times can be reduced which gives added productivity (producing more with less !!) – this then gives an increase in profit on the bottom line.
