Also, it is to highlight that there is no generation of effluent from the industry, thus there is no requirement of installation of ETP. Further, ours is a small scale unit and no water is being generated from manufacturing process. However, we do the mopping only with wet cloth and the same is disposed to TSDF site.</span></em></p>
