How Tana Bana is Keeping Water Pollution at Bay: A Weave of Clean Consciousness

---

Every outfit in your wardrobe carries an environmental story. Some tell tales of excess water wastage and pollution, while others, like Tana Bana’s creations, weave a narrative of sustainability and care. In a world where the fashion industry contributes to 20% of global industrial water pollution, we at Tana Bana take pride in making every drop count.

The Fashion Industry’s Water Problem

Did you know the average garment undergoes multiple stages of water-intensive processes, from yarn production to finishing? The staggering result: producing a single outfit can consume thousands of litres of water. Worse still, harmful chemicals and dyes from conventional textile manufacturing seep into rivers, devastating ecosystems and threatening local communities.

Fast fashion exacerbates this issue by prioritizing speed and cost over sustainability, with synthetic materials and chemical-heavy processes polluting freshwater sources worldwide.

How Tana Bana Protects Water Resources

At Tana Bana, we are committed to reducing water pollution and conserving this precious resource through eco-conscious practices from start to finish.

1. Low-Water-Usage Handloom Facilities
Unlike machine-based production that guzzles water during processes like yarn spinning, weaving, and fabric finishing, handloom craftsmanship requires minimal water. Artisans skilfully weave each fabric using traditional methods, cutting water usage by up to 70% compared to industrial processes.

Our handloom cotton products are created using 80% less water per outfit, making every Tana Bana piece a testament to mindful consumption.

2. Zero Chemicals Throughout the Process
The production of handloom cotton at Tana Bana is completely free of harmful chemicals. From yarn preparation to the final product, we avoid synthetic softeners, bleaching agents, and chemical finishes that typically contribute to water contamination.

 Benefits:

• Protects local water bodies from harmful runoff.
• Ensures no toxins are introduced into the water cycle, benefiting both ecosystems and communities.

3. Low Energy, Low Impact
Handloom weaving is an inherently low-energy process, relying primarily on human skill rather than electricity-powered machinery. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but also minimizes the indirect impact on water resources (e.g., no large-scale water cooling or heating systems).

By choosing handloom over power loom fabrics, Tana Bana saves an estimated 500 litres of water for every 10 meters of fabric produced.

• Preservation of Aquatic Life: Reducing water pollution means cleaner rivers that support fish and other aquatic species.
• Improved Community Health: Eliminating toxic chemical usage ensures safe drinking water for nearby communities.
• A Sustainable Future: Conscious production practices safeguard water resources for generations to come.
