In Tirupur, Polos Inc leads sustainable knitwear manufacturing through 100% Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) effluent water recycling, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 non-toxic reactive dyes, GOTS certified organic cotton options, and solar rooftop power—ensuring your custom apparel has the lowest environmental footprint possible.
95%+ Water Recycled & Reused in Dyeing
Zero Harmful Chemicals or Toxic Heavy Metals
Pesticide-Free Sustainable Agriculture
Rooftop Solar Powering Stitching Lines
1. 100% Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Water Recycling
Our dyeing operations are connected to Tirupur’s advanced Zero Liquid Discharge effluent treatment plants. Through biological aeration, multi-stage reverse osmosis, and thermal evaporators, over 95% of water is purified and recycled back into dye baths—ensuring zero toxic discharge into rivers or aquifers.
2. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Non-Toxic Dyes
We strictly utilize low-salt, formaldehyde-free reactive dyes and non-phthalate printing inks compliant with European REACH safety standards. Safe for newborn infants, sensitive skin, and the planet, our dyes leave zero hazardous residues in the fabric.
3. GOTS Organic Cotton & Recycled Poly
For brands targeting ESG and net-zero sustainability benchmarks, we manufacture apparel using 100% GOTS certified organic combed cotton (grown without synthetic pesticides or GMOs) and GRS certified recycled polyester spun from ocean-bound PET bottles.
4. Solar Energy & Biodegradable Packaging
Our factory floor harnesses rooftop solar energy arrays to power computerized embroidery and cutting workstations. We offer 100% plastic-free packaging: compostable corn-starch polybags, recycled paper hangtags, and FSC-certified unbleached shipping cartons.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sustainable Apparel Manufacturing
What is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) in textile manufacturing?
ZLD is an advanced water treatment cycle where all wastewater from the dyehouse is purified via biological filtration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and evaporators. Recovered clean water is reused in subsequent dyeing cycles, leaving only dry salt crystals for industrial reuse.
Are your t-shirt printing inks eco-friendly and skin-safe?
Yes. We use phthalate-free, PVC-free water-based inks and eco plastisol formulations certified under OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ensuring they are completely safe for all skin types and free of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Can you supply GOTS transaction certificates for organic cotton orders?
Yes. For clients ordering GOTS certified organic apparel, we provide official transaction certificates (TC) tracking the organic cotton from the certified ginning mill directly to your finished shipment.
