As one of the top five home textiles exporters in Pakistan, Liberty Mills Limited has set its sites on becoming the top-rated green manufacturing facility in South Aisa – and one of the top-most in the world.
The company currently does an annual $250 million to $275 million in exports annually, including home textiles as well as knitted and woven apparel fabrics.
Liberty lays claim to having the first integrated, hybrid clean energy production set-up, which combines solar power and wind power. Already, the company is generating enough energy to supply 100 megawatts of energy to the national power grind.
CEO Taimur Mukaty noted that manufacturing sustainably has become as important as producing sustainable products. “Initially, customers were focused on compliance standards. Now more of them are working on the validation of sustainability,” he said.
For many, that means they want to see that the companies they are sourcing from have embraced the UN’s science-based targets for carbon neutrality.
At the Heimtextil expo this week, Liberty is touting the savings it has achieved in reducing raw material and energy costs and reducing its carbon footprint. It has also begun work with a strategic partner in the UK on a circular textiles production cycle. The company is showing in Hall 10.2, B30.
