A study on environmental standards in spinning industries for sustainable development

This study is mainly focused on the importance of need to review the determinants, which may lay down certain environmental standards and energy efficiency mechanisms in spinning industry. It is for this purpose, the researcher has taken in to account many factors which are responsible for sustainable environmental development in the textile sectors in the regions of Tiruppur and Virudhunagar districts in which the spinning industries are functioning. In this context, the standards refer to the specific parameters quantified previously by the TSPCB with respect to measures for disposal, discharge and emissions of solid, liquid and other ozone depleting gases into the environment and adoption of energy saving practices by the selected spinning industries. These standards are used for enforcement of any legislation for the abatement of pollution and assess the efficiency in energy utilization by the industry. In many of the medium level industries, there is lack of infrastructure facilities to handle the pollution and emissions. Through this study, the researcher wanted to know the significant facilities that are essential for pollution control and energy utilization for the spinning industries for the sustainable industrial development.
