Bangladesh houses 1,700 washing, dyeing, and finishing units
The textile sector accounts for 80% of total export revenue: $25 billion, and growing
IT ASPIRES TO BECOME A $50 BILLION INDUSTRY BY 2021
Snapshot
3Partnership for Cleaner Textile
The sector consumes 1,500 billion litres of groundwater per year. Groundwater levels are decreasing by 2.5 m/yr.Surface water is heavily polluted by the textile industry
But…Is it sustainable?
4Partnership for Cleaner Textile
Typically water consumption per kg of fabric is:
Besides, energy shortages hamper production and expansion
Water to process 1kg of fabric
Daily water usefor two people=
5Partnership for Cleaner Textile
THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED
IF WE ALL TOOK OWNERSHIP AND WORKED TOGETHER
6Partnership for Cleaner Textile
The Partnership for Cleaner Textile (PaCT) was established in 2013
Addressing the Challenge
• Washing, Dyeing and Finishing Units
• Resource efficiency• Communities• Policies• Long-term sustainability• Clusters
7Partnership for Cleaner Textile
PaCT partners are committed to a sustainable,
competitive and cleaner sector
~200 Textile wet processing factories in Dhaka, and:

How?
9Partnership for Cleaner Textile
Cleaner Production (CP)Minimizes resource consumption (water, energy and chemicals), and reduces waste, while maintaining or increasing production as well as profitability.PaCT target is to reach out to 500 companies.
By Embracing Cleaner Production
= Increases profitability
Cements buyer/supplierrelationship
10Partnership for Cleaner Textile
Challenges to factory adoption of CP
Lack of Awareness on Cleaner Production
Perception that cleaner production initiatives are a cost rather than an opportunity to save money
Do not know the ‘true cost’ of resource usage
Doing it only because brands are interested.
Identifying the ‘True Cost’ of Water

Reduction in factory resource use from PaCTinterventions: Fakir Apparels Ltd.
On average, the 19 factories that have implemented in-depth CP reduced their water consumption from 200 L/kg to 150 L/kg of
fabric, a 25 % reduction

Note: The graph shows 19 step-3 factories for which pre-PaCT and post-PaCT water consumption data (actual) is available for Mar ’15; the graph includes 2 factories for which overall water consumption has increased due to capactiy expansion

20Partnership for Cleaner Textile
• What• Platform to convene decision makers and stakeholders to create a
more favourable enabling environment for Cleaner Production
• Results• Bangladesh Central Bank committed to $500 million in green
financing for resource efficiency in the textile sector• Discussion underway on introducing tariffs for most polluting wet
processing chemicals
Government and stakeholders
Assess Baseline- GIS mapping/ WFA - Stakeholder mapping- Formation of Industry champion council
Mobilize Community- Community engagement by NGO to identify, prioritize issues- Jointly develop action plan to address issues; Develop KPIs- Advocacy and awareness raising using WFA - Formation of dialogue platform between Industry/K4C, Community groups and LG
Implement Vision- Collective action plan- Implementation of 1-2 quick wins (waste water management study, WASH; etc)- Identify and engage implementation partners- Conduct Mid line survey
Clean Cluster- Community access to safe drinking water improved-WASH within cluster and reduced prevalence of water borne diseases - Increase use of ETP-90% of factories commit to PaCT principles-Technological solutions (CETP: Sludge management; solar lighting)

2016 2019 Objective: Mobilize cluster
community, textile factories and local government to develop joint vision and road map to move towards a Cleaner Cluster
Moving Towards Cleaner Clusters Current situation: The 33 WDF units within the Konabari cluster use about 2/3 of blue water. Households lack reliable water access. No formal channel of dialogue among different stakeholders.
22Partnership for Cleaner Textile
• Scope• Member based knowledge center - first of its kind in Bangladesh• Business to Business facilitation ($220,000 in deals to date)• Practical and unbiased information on cleaner production• Organizing of training, workshops and seminars on Cleaner
Production• Introduction of new technology to factories• Development of industry best practices, info sheets etc.• Hosted by BGMEA at their offices
• Current Membership• 73 members, from factories, service providers, input suppliers, &
knowledge institutions.
Textile Technology Business Center (TTBC)
23Partnership for Cleaner Textile
Facilitating finance to factories
• Established credit lines of US$500 million with Bangladesh Central Bank for green financing.
• Working in collaboration with several other commercial financial institutions to support factories access finance for cleaner production.
