Sateri's Fujian Mill complies with EU-BAT standard

Sateri, a producer of viscose fibre, announced that its mill in Fujian, China, has been verified to comply with European Union Best Available Techniques (EU-BAT) standard. Verified by independent consultant Sustainable Textile Solutions (STS), a division of BluWin, the parameters included resource utility efficiency, wastewater discharge and air emission.

“Our vision is to be best-in-class in viscose fibre production. We aim to achieve a closed-loop system that optimises the return of waste to production process so as to minimise environmental impact. We commit to have all our existing mills in China voluntarily assessed against the EU-BAT standard to meet the standard’s provisions by 2023,” Allen Zhang, president of Sateri, said in a press release.

In the assessment report, STS noted that all of Sateri Fujian’s mill parameters assessed were within the range of EU-BAT limits. Notably, its energy intensity, sulphur to air, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were well under EU-BAT norms. With the use of cutting-edge technologies for air emissions control, the total sulphur recovery rate is over 98 per cent. Sateri Fujian accounts for over 20 per cent of Sateri’s annual total production capacity.

“The EU-BAT is specifically developed for adoption by industries in Europe. Sateri has demonstrated that it is going beyond regulatory requirements to be an early adopter in China. This is highly commendable and underscores Sateri’s position as a leading global manufacturer,” Dr Siva Pariti, senior consultant of STS, said.

Sateri is one of the world’s first viscose producers to complete the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) 3.0 assessment. Sateri is also part of the multistakeholder Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) manmade cellulose fibre working group, which is developing guidelines to reduce environmental emissions. As a founding member of the Collaboration for Sustainable Development of Viscose (CV), Sateri is supporting the development of CV’s 2025 Roadmap which considers industry best management practices and global certification standards.
