Environmental pollution caused by tanneries is a well-known environmental problem in Pakistan. Pakistan Tanners Association (SZ) Environmental Society realizing the importance of this issue initiated a comprehensive Environmental Management Program (EMP) in 1994. The program comprised of two major components i.e. implementation of Combined Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) in phase-I, and implementation of Cleaner Technologies (CT) in phase-II.  Construction of CETP is completed and by the March 2006 it will be able to treat wastewater. Subsequently, PTA decided to start the implementation of cleaner technology component under the title of “Cleaner Technology Program for Korangi Tanneries (CTP-KT)”.  

The approach of the program is to implement proposed environmental solutions in a logical sequence under a cost-effective framework with direct and indirect financial paybacks.


Aim 
 

The aim of this program is to enable Korangi tanneries to implement cleaner technologies and adopt better working practices for better environmental performance.

Objective

  • Introduction and implementation of cleaner technology options and occupational health and  safety program in the Korangi tannery cluster.

  • Implementation of environmental management system, to achieve ISO 14000 certification.

  • Assistance in self-monitoring program.

  • Development and initiation of solid waste management program at cluster level.

  • Utilization of CETP as a demonstration project for introducing UASB technology, which is cost 
    effective and technologically simple wastewater treatment technology, to enable large number of industries and municipalities to implement wastewater treatment plants projects.
