'''[[Mohan Spintex India Limited]]''' (MSIL) runs '''sustainability''' programmes covering energy, water, biodiversity and packaging. Textile processing uses large amounts of water, chemicals and energy, and these programmes are aimed chiefly at those impacts.<ref name="tmlegacy">{{Ref tmlegacy}}</ref>

== Energy ==
=== Solar power ===
MSIL has installed 10.8 MW of rooftop [[wikipedia:Solar power in India|solar]] generation, which it says avoids about 13,296 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.<ref name="tmlegacy" /> Mill buildings have large roof areas, so the panels need no additional land. A solar power project was inaugurated at Unit 2 in 2022.<ref name="a249">{{Cite archive |album=Solar Power Project Inauguration, Unit 2, 2022 |album_id=249 |access-date=16 September 2026}}</ref>

=== Coal-free steam ===
Steam for fabric processing is generated from [[wikipedia:Rice hulls|rice husk]], a biomass fuel, instead of coal. The company reports that this avoids about 54,444 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, a reduction of 95% compared with coal.<ref name="tmlegacy" /> The [[wikipedia:Krishna River|Krishna]] delta around [[wikipedia:Vijayawada|Vijayawada]] is a major rice-growing region, making rice husk a locally available fuel.

Together, the two programmes are reported to avoid about 67,740 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.<ref name="tmlegacy" />

== Water ==
The company's effluent treatment plant is oriented to [[wikipedia:Zero liquid discharge|zero liquid discharge]] and recovers 98% of process water for reuse. It also has 20 million litres of [[wikipedia:Rainwater harvesting|rainwater harvesting]] capacity.<ref name="tmlegacy" />

A zero liquid discharge plant typically combines biological treatment, filtration, [[wikipedia:Reverse osmosis|reverse osmosis]] and evaporation, so that treated water returns to the process and dissolved salts are recovered as solids.{{Confirmation needed|Engineering}}

== Biodiversity ==
MSIL reports planting more than 10,000 trees of 200 species, with 30% of its facility area under green cover.<ref name="tmlegacy" /> Tree-planting drives have been held at Unit 2.<ref name="a163">{{Cite archive |album=Plantation, Unit 2, 2014 |album_id=163 |access-date=16 September 2026}}</ref>

== Packaging ==
The company reports that 90% of its packaging materials are sustainable.<ref name="tmlegacy" />
