Sustainability
Our business is centred on sustainability. To increase socio-economic value for all of our stakeholders while reducing our activities’ environmental imprint, we have implemented a number of sustainability initiatives.
At Sagar Chemicals Private Limited, we strive to produce goods for our clients while minimising our impact on the environment via resource efficiency. In addition, all of our manufacturing facilities are outfitted with cutting-edge environmental protection technology. By implementing a number of energy-saving strategies and utilising a variety of renewable energy sources, we aim to lessen our carbon impact.
Renewable Energy
SCPL is aware of the dangers that climate change poses to our industries, particularly those related to the loss of natural resources like water and agro-based raw materials like molasses. According to our assessment, the primary cause of climate change is the worldwide generation of greenhouse gases (GHG). We lowered particular GHG emissions from our facilities year over year as a responsible corporation by working consistently to minimise energy usage, waste creation, raise the amount of renewable energy, and improve carbon sinks by increasing the number of trees planted.
Sustainable Raw Material
We consistently employ the effective use of high-quality materials in our operations in order to maintain cost-competitiveness. Our business uses molasses as a primary raw material (a by-product from the sugar industries). According to the life cycle-based carbon footprint analysis, Pyridine produced by SCPL using the ethanol (produced from molasses) method has a much lower carbon footprint than comparable goods produced using the traditional petro route.
The key raw materials that make up 43% of the overall usage are renewable and include molasses (a byproduct of the sugar industry), press mud, and corn cob.
Water Consumption
We are acutely aware of how important is water to both ecosystems and human existence.
In an effort to use less fresh water, we continually seek to recycle back useable water from the effluents after treatment. The majority of our production locations in India have zero liquid discharge.
By regularly monitoring, analysing, and optimising water use through process changes and the implementation of new technology, we were able to minimise the specific freshwater consumption from our facilities year over year.
