Sustainability
At SUPERNOVAS, sustainability is woven into every process - from the raw fiber we source to the chemistry we choose and the communities we support. We measure success not only in output, but in impact.
Our Commitment
We have embedded environmental accountability into our production blueprint - not as a compliance exercise, but as a competitive advantage and a moral imperative. From fiber selection to final finishing, every process decision is filtered through a sustainability lens.
"Sustainability is not a feature we add to our fabrics - it is the foundation on which every SUPERNOVAS product is built."
Materials & Circularity
We are transitioning from a linear take-make-dispose model to a circular one. Through partnerships with certified recycling networks and bio-based chemistry suppliers, we are systematically reducing virgin resource consumption while maintaining the performance standards our clients demand.
Post-consumer rPET and recycled nylon sourced from certified collection programs, processed into high-tenacity yarn suitable for performance and technical textiles.
Plant-derived dye carriers, sizing agents, and softeners replacing petroleum-based alternatives - reducing our chemical footprint without compromising functional performance.
End-of-life fabric return partnerships with select brand clients - recovered fabric is sorted, shredded, and re-spun into new yarn, diverting textile waste from landfill.
Water & Chemicals
Water and chemical management are among the most critical environmental challenges in textile manufacturing. Our facility is engineered with advanced effluent treatment, closed-loop water reuse, and a strictly managed chemical input protocol aligned to ZDHC MRSL standards.
Our Process
Jet and overflow dyeing machines calibrated for minimum liquor ratio - achieving consistent colour uptake at significantly reduced water consumption per kilogram of fabric.
Counter-current rinsing systems capture and recycle wash water at each stage, significantly reducing total freshwater draw per cycle.
Three-stage treatment - primary settling, biological oxidation, and tertiary membrane filtration - ensures discharge well below GPCB and CETP norms.
Every chemical input is screened against the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List before purchase approval - substitution protocols are mandatory for restricted compounds.
Energy & Emissions
Energy-intensive wet processing is being transformed through renewable integration, heat recovery, and process optimisation. We have set binding internal targets for emission reduction aligned to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) framework.
CSR & Community
Our social responsibility extends beyond the factory gate. We invest in the wellbeing of our workers, the growth of local communities, and programs that create lasting economic and educational opportunity in the Surat textile belt.
Zero-incident culture embedded through regular safety audits, mandatory PPE protocols, ergonomic workstation design, and a grievance redressal system for all shop-floor staff.
Committed to zero lost-time incidentsStructured vocational training in textile operations, quality inspection, and machine maintenance - with preferential hiring of program graduates. A significant portion of our production workforce are women.
Ongoing women's training programsWe prioritise procurement from Surat-region suppliers - yarn, packaging, chemicals, and services. This reduces transport emissions and strengthens the regional textile economy that sustains our community.
