Archroma, a manufacturer of colour chemicals and specialties, received the WWF Pakistan Eco-Innovation Award at the Annual Green Office Networks Meeting in Karachi.
The Eco-Innovation Award is a recognition of Archroma's ongoing efforts to foster sustainable innovations aimed at preserving groundwater reserves and developing eco-efficient processes that reduce energy, process time and resource consumption.
The Award was presented by Naeem Mughal, Director General of the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency, Government of Pakistan.
Earlier this year, wwf granted Green Office labeling rights to Archroma's offices in Landhi, Pakistan.
Mujtaba Rahim, CEO of Archroma Pakistan, said: "We are continuously creating powerful new processes and products that support our sustainability ambitions and that of our customers. Our innovative teams are raising the bar on environmental standards and production cycles in our industries. For example, our EarthColors sulfur dyes are developed from natural wastes such as walnut and almond shells and agricultural crop residues, replacing oil-based raw materials to create warm brown tones in cotton fabrics. Our 'Sustainable Effluent Treatment' plant in Jamshoro, Pakistan, operates with zero liquid discharge in our production processes, saving huge amounts of water."
