Texcraft Park is a 23-acre development where the workshop is situated, in Bagru, southwest of Jaipur. It is the result of a collaboration between Jaipur Block, the EC funded SWITCH Asia Project (Sustainable Textiles for Sustainable Development) and the Indian government’s ‘Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks’.

The development houses different block- printing units using a Common Effluent Treatment Plan (CETP) which harvests and recycles water, while promoting socially responsible health and safety standards in the production process.

The CETP recovers over 80% of the wastewater from textile processes, returning it to the system for use in dyeing, printing, and washing. The system can treat 0.5 million litres of effluent per day. Added to this, each manufacturing unit will be installing individual effluent treatment plants to recycle as much water as possible independently too, reducing demand on the central water supply.

The Park also has a sewage treatment plant which recovers water from sewage lines, treating it and reusing it in the sewage system. Excess water from this will be used for landscape irrigation.

Our own workshop managers are key stakeholders in this initiative.
