About Us VIYELLATEX group is a rapidly growing multi dimensional

organization in Bangladesh. Within a very short period of time, the organization has earned a solid reputation both locally and globally in the textile and apparel sector. With a fully vertical integrated setup, the group has since spread out to other ventures- tea production and logistics management services.

With its state-of-the-art technology and a highly competent management team, the group has successfully etched its brand name worldwide as a reliable manufacturer of textile products. Products of VIYELLATEX group reach worldwide today.

While VIYELLATEX remains a 100% export-oriented organization, the company vision remains focused towards uplifting Bangladesh on a global scale. The group has achieved numerous awards for business, social and environmental performance over the years and remains strongly committed towards the Millennium Development Goals. VIYELLATEX will soon be venturing towards the energy and engineering sector.

Our Products : Over the last decade, VIYELLATEX has integrated its business into a

complete composite setup where production begins with the import of raw cotton. This cotton is converted to the internationally branded apparels after undergoing the processes of knitting, dyeing, washing, cutting, sewing and finishing. Apart from apparel and textile manufacturing, VIYELLATEX has moved on to newer horizons in the form of logistics services, tea production and very recently, the energy and engineering sector. At present, VIYELLATEX group comprises of ten business units:

VIYELLATEX - Knit Apparel and Textile Manufacturing Interfax Shirt Manufacturing - Woven Apparel and Textile Manufacturing Fashion Plastic & Packaging - Textile Accessories Manufacturing Gothic Design - Fabric Printing and Embroidery VIYELLATEX Spinning - Spinning Mill Logistic Management Services - Warehouse Service Provider Eco Couture – Knit Green Factory Royal Valley Planters - Tea Manufacturing Midland Power – Energy and Engineering Eco-fab – Woven Green Factory

Eco-Textiles

Eco-textiles are textiles that have been produced with the lowest possible negative impact on the environment. All aspects from origination right through to disposal have to be taken into account.

Various terms used in eco-friendly processing The processor must be aware of certain terms and quantities used while determining the eco-

friendliness of garment processing. Given below are the three methods used to determine the amount of water pollution: 1. Biological oxygen demand (BOD) BOD, mg/litre = (D1 – D2)/V

Where D1 = Initial dissolved oxygenD2 = Dissolved oxygen after five daysV = Volume of sample used

2. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) COD, mg/litre = (B – A) * N * 8000/V

Where A= volume of ferrous ammonium sulphate solution used for titration in mlB= blank titration reading in mlN= normality of ferrous ammonium sulphate solutionV= sample volume in ml

3. Absorbable organic halogen (AOX) In this method, the organic substances are adsorbed from the sample onto (halogen free)

activated charcoal. The charcoal is then burnt in a stream of oxygen and the hydrogen chloride formed is determined quantitatively. This parameter includes a wide range of compounds like volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons, plastic (PVC), toxic chlorophenols, etc.

Eco-Couture Eco Couture Limited, an extension of VIYELLATEX Limited is in the

process of being a modern and a one-of-a-kind environment friendly knit composite factory. Located in Jogitola, a few kilometers away from the Corporate Office, Eco Couture will house a 144,000 soft. establishment for all its operations from sewing to packing the finished product. The project will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified – Gold Category factory and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2012.

Royal Valley Planters Royal Valley Planters is the agro based business division of

VIYELLATEX group. It was acquired with the vision to offset the amount of carbon emitted by all the business units. The tea estate spans over 1800 acres. It serves major buyers around the country and also from international market via auction in Chittagong. It started its journey in 2009. As a part of the group’s green initiatives, near about 7 million trees have already been planted to support the carbon neutralization project.

Eco-friendly garment processing Designing Selection of size: The most commonly used sizing agent is starch whose decomposition

products have a very high BOD and can no longer be reused. De polymerized and esterifies starches, which are easily soluble and biodegradable are being preferred. Suitable acrylic sizes with co-polymer selection are easily biodegradable and have low BOD.

Recovery and reuse of sizing polymer: In partial recycling, easily soluble sizes such as modified starch, polyvinyl alcohol, and pool acrylics are selected and the first, concentrated wash liquor is isolated and only the other dilute washes are let off in waste water, thus reducing the pollution load by 50%.

Scouring and bleaching Combined Scouring/Bleaching: The bath is set with .5 - 1% alkali stable surfactant, 2 - 4%

caustic soda flakes, 1 - 2% non-silicate stabilizer and 3 - 5% H2O2. MLR is kept at 1:10. Material is entered at room temperature and then the temperature is further raised to 85 - 900C. The material is treated for 40 - 60 min. Rinse the material thrice in water of gradually decreasing temperature.

Enzyme application: The discovery of novel, powerful alkaline peptidase promises to provide an eco-friendly, cost effective means to prepare cotton substrate. This unique peptidase functions well under slightly alkaline conditions in the presence of chelating and selected wetting agents. A combination of peptidase and cellulose significantly improves water wetting and retention properties, to level similar to those of commercially scoured cotton. Treatment with cellulose and protease not only results in removal of impurities but also improves the wet ability of the fabric

Dyeing Selection of dyestuff necessary from the following point of view:

Avoiding use of dyes, which can form on reduction carcinogenic amines. Selection of high exhaustion dyes particularly among reactive. Avoiding the use of copper and zinc salts as after treatment agents or

catalysts or reducing agents. Replacing the halogenated organic carriers with combinations of other

carrier types.

Printing Water-based inks contain neither PVC nor phthalates making them an

environmentally friendly alternative. The inks are non-toxic, lead-free and do not contain any heavy metals. As such, they are safe for use on infant clothing and underwear.

Wastage of print paste can be reduced by installing return systems that recover much of the paste otherwise lost in supply pipes and from within the screens themselves. Residual paste can be recycled, with the assistance of colorimetric measuring and recipe prediction systems.

EMPLOYEE WELFARE Child Care VIYELLATEX group provides Child Care facilities for all its

employees. Each Child Care center is well illuminated, ventilated and spacious for the children to enjoy. Food, clothing and medical assistance are provided to these kids free of charge Medical

Each production plant has a separate medical section to provide medical service to its employees. Employees are treated with professional care and provided with free medicine at these facilities. Ambulance service is available round the clock to attend any necessary emergency.

Safety Training VIYELLATEX group prioritizes safety over all else. Each employee

undergoes comprehensive safety training before and after joining the company. These training sessions include fire safety, first aid, machinery safety, chemical and hazardous material handling, manufacturing safety issues, etc..

Organic, Natural & Sustainable :

Organic Cotton Frank & Faith will only ever use 100% organic cotton, sustainable and environmentally

friendly yarns such as Hemp, bamboo, wool and Linen when designing and manufacturing their collections. Aldicarb is also applied to cotton in 25 other countries. In total, cotton accounts for 16% if global insecticide releases more than any other single crop. Almost 1 kilogram of hazardous pesticides is applied for every hectare of cotton. This pollution leads to at least 1 million agricultural workers worldwide requiring hospital treatment due to acute pesticide poisoning and presents a significant threat to global freshwater supplies.

Organic Merino Wool We spent a long time searching out and finally finding a Merino wool we were totally happy

with. There are many organic Merino wool's on the market, but none that could 100% guarantee us that the barbaric act of mule sing wasn't being performed by any of the farmers who were ultimately supplying us with the wool that would end up in our collection.

The good news is that 50 years ago a farsighted farmer in South Africa brought the Merino over to his farm and began a breeding program that has virtually bred out the over wrinkling problem and hence bred out the need to worry about ‘fly strike' in the South African Merinos. We work closely with a German mill that buys up all this wool and the finished yarn holds the prestigious Blue sign certification

Sustainable Yarns & Fabrics Bamboo is 100% naturally grown, without assistance from man. Completely sustainable,

bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilizers. As the fastest growing plant in the world, bamboo grows to its maximum height in about 3 months and reaches maturity in 3-4 years. It spreads rapidly across large areas.

Ethical Donations :

Here at Frank & Faith we feel passionately about animal welfare and we aim to ensure that wherever animals are used in the production of our clothes, that their welfare is protected at all times. We believe that it is not acceptable to harm animals in the manufacture of any of our products.

Animal fur and leather products:Frank and faith will never use fur or leather in any part of our manufacturing including fur and leather that are bi-products of the meat industry and this also includes lambs fur which is like sheep skin.

Cashmere Wool

Cashmere wool is sourced from the thick fleece of the cashmere Pashmina goat from Northern China and Mongolia, but due to the high demand from the west for this fiber the farming practices have change from traditional sustainable methods to high volume production with little respect for the animal. Until a sustainable and cruelty free cashmere yarn can be sort, Frank & Faith will not use commercially obtain cashmere wool.

Animal Fur & Leather Products Frank & Faith will never use fur or leather in any part of our manufacturing,

including fur and leather that are bi-products of the meat industry, and this also includes Mongolian lambs’ fur which is like sheep skin.
