PROJECT PORTFOLIO
Keep in mind that certain projects may have a broader range of impact and potential uses beyond what has been presented here. For additional details, we recommend visiting the specific project pages.
Zero Liquid Discharge installation for purifying and reusing up to 95% of textile wastewater at key Bangladesh suppliers
This project aims to create a business case for sustainable practices in Bangladesh’s RMG/Textile factories. By showcasing innovative technologies, including a modular Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system, the initiative will demonstrate technical viability and pilot a 1% surcharge business model.
Optimising a textile manufacturing facility as demonstration site to reuse water and enhance wastewater management
The textile industry faces environmental challenges such as excessive water consumption and wastewater pollution. Bangladesh’s textile manufacturing industry has announced sustainability goals, including reducing its blue water footprint and meeting wastewater guidelines. This project aims to showcase that this goal can be realised and address social and environmental water impacts
Reverse Resources – using data to revolutionise textile waste management and recycling
Reverse Resources provides a digital traceability solution to the current mismanagement of textile waste through tracing the waste and connecting it with textile-2-textile recyclers. The platform furthermore enables real-time data and statistics of waste flows to encourage evidence-based decision making and to support the growth of this new market.
Uganda Circular Textiles
The Uganda Circular Textile project is designed to support a transition to a local Ugandan textile manufacturing base by incorporating clothes that would have otherwise ended up in landfill into new products and design. The project will assess the existing second-hand textile value chains in Kampala to establish the types
Scaling Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production (RECP) in the Nairobi Rivers Basin
The project is designed to address water pollution caused by the discharge of untreated industrial effluent by multiple industry types within the Nairobi Rivers Basin
Piloting Biochar production from Food and Beverage Waste
Sanergy aims to establish a first-of-its-kind biochar production facility in Kenya to combat organic waste from the food and beverage sector. SMEP is funding the feasibility study which precedes the establishment of this pilot plant.
