“Adopt life cycle assessment to meet global requirements”
Industry leaders in Karur are being urged to adopt life cycle assessment (LCA) practices to meet global sustainability standards. This shift is presented as a strategic move to leverage the India-UK Free Trade Agreement and boost textile exports.
Why it matters
Adopting sustainable manufacturing practices is increasingly necessary for Indian exporters to remain competitive in international markets with strict environmental regulations.
Chairman of Confederation of Indian Industry, Karur zone, M. Perumal has urged industry leaders to adopt life cycle assessment (LCA) practices to leverage sustainable growth so as to enable exporters to meet evolving global sustainability requirements.
Speaking at a programme on “India-UK CETA & Leverage LCA for sustainable Growth” organised by the Textile Export Facilitation Centre of Textiles Committee, Ministry of Textiles here on Tuesday, Mr. Perumal said that the India–UK Free Trade Agreement was highly significant as it is expected to create new opportunities for increasing exports and contribute towards achieving the export growth targets. It would also benefit Karur textile cluster. However, it was important for the manufacturers and exporters to adopt life cycle assessment (LCA) practices and leverage them for sustainable growth. It would ultimately enable Karur exporters to meet evolving global sustainability requirements.
