Oixbe Manufacturing Achieves Carbon Neutrality Milestone

We are thrilled to announce that Oixbe Manufacturing's flagship facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has achieved carbon neutrality – a historic milestone that positions us as an industry leader in sustainable manufacturing. This achievement is the result of five years of dedicated effort, strategic investments, and a company-wide commitment to environmental responsibility.

The Journey to Carbon Neutrality

Our path to carbon neutrality began in 2020 with a comprehensive environmental audit and the establishment of ambitious reduction targets. Since then, we've implemented sweeping changes across our operations, from energy sourcing to waste management, transportation to supply chain optimization.

Key initiatives that made this achievement possible include:

  • Installation of 15MW solar panel array covering 80% of energy needs
  • Implementation of closed-loop water recycling system
  • Conversion of all facility vehicles to electric fleet
  • Partnership with local suppliers to reduce transportation emissions
  • Advanced waste-to-energy conversion facility
  • Carbon offset programs supporting regional reforestation
Carbon neutrality isn't just about meeting regulations – it's about leading by example and proving that sustainable manufacturing is not only possible but profitable.

The facility now operates with 95% renewable energy, with the remaining 5% offset through verified carbon credit programs. We've reduced water consumption by 60% and achieved zero-waste-to-landfill status through comprehensive recycling and composting programs.

Economic and Social Impact

Beyond environmental benefits, our sustainability initiatives have created 300 new jobs in green technology sectors and reduced operational costs by 25%. Local communities benefit from improved air quality, clean water initiatives, and educational programs we sponsor on environmental conservation.

This milestone demonstrates that environmental responsibility and business success go hand in hand. We're now working to replicate this model across all Oixbe facilities worldwide, with plans to achieve group-wide carbon neutrality by 2028.
