Organizations that embrace the philosophy of product sustainability understand their responsibility to reduce the environmental impacts of their products. They understand that their commitment towards safeguarding the environment extends to all aspects of the product life-cycle.
ABFRLs approach towards sustainable products is aligned with the commitment to give back more than we take from the earth . Our high-quality products are designed to conserve and rejuvenate the environment through their entire lifecycle, including sourcing of sustainable raw material, sustainable production processes and manufacturing facilities, use of sustainable packaging, and creating sustainable livelihood. At the same time, it is good for our customers health & safety, and the society as well.
Sustainable Raw Material
Sustainable raw material is grown or extracted in a way that has minimal environmental impact, supports sustainable livelihood, and can do so in the face of long-term ecological constraints and socio-economic pressures.

Sustainable Production Process
Manufacturing of products using methods, processes, and technologies that shows high efficiency & demonstrates the optimization of resources used, comes under the sustainable production process.
We use various eco-friendly technologies and processes which are considered sustainable such as –
Sustainable Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing at facilities (Textile Mills & Garment Units), which demonstrate the highest standard of environmental and social practices and have certifications such as LEED certification, ISO 9000, 14000, Higg Index, OKEO-TEX, ZDHC, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and Renewable Energy sources including Solar and Wind.
Sustainable Packaging
Packaging practices that demonstrate Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle characteristics are considered sustainable packaging.
We aim to use 100% sustainable packaging material (currently 88%) by usage of Certified Materials and less-pollutant packaging items. Some of the sustainable options in packaging are FSC certified paper, Bio-degradable Material and Recycled Materials.
Sustainable Livelihood
