At Harmony Group, sustainability is not just a choice—it’s our responsibility and commitment to the planet. From innovating APEO-free additives to running Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) units, our journey towards green chemistry and zero-waste manufacturing is deeply rooted in every process we undertake.

Our Green Chemistry Philosophy

At the heart of Harmony Additives lies the principle of Green Chemistry—designing products and processes that minimize environmental impact and maximize safety for users and the planet. We develop high-performance additives that:

  •     ·      Eliminate harmful substances like APEO (Alkyl phenol Ethoxylates)
  •     ·      Reduce the carbon footprint of our customers' manufacturing processes
  •     ·      Enable paint, ink, and other industries to achieve eco-label certifications

By focusing on eco-friendly raw materials, low-energy production processes, and biodegradable components, we ensure that every drop of additive from Harmony brings sustainability benefits downstream.

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Units: Closing the Loop on Water

Water is precious, and we treat every drop like gold.

Our manufacturing units operate under a strict Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) policy. Here’s what that means for the environment:

  •     ·    100% Water Recycling: Every drop of process water is treated and     reused back into production.
  •     ·    Saving Natural Resources: By recycling water, we reduce our   dependency on municipal or borewell water sources.

This initiative reflects our long-term goal: not a single drop of waste water leaves our factory gate.

Responsible Waste Management: Plastic and Solid Waste

We believe that waste is a resource waiting to be recycled. Our plastic waste and other non-hazardous solid wastes are carefully collected and handed over only to government-authorized recyclers and waste handlers.

By doing this:

  •     ·      We prevent environmental pollution
  •     ·      Support the circular economy
  •     ·      Reduce landfill waste

Our partnership with authorized waste management companies ensures safe disposal and maximum recycling of plastic and packaging waste generated from our operations.

Greenery and Biodiversity: Our Factory Garden

Walk into our manufacturing site and you won’t just see production lines—you’ll see lush green gardens. Our factory is surrounded by a carefully maintained green belt that:

  •     ·      Reduces dust and air pollutants
  •     ·      Provides a habitat for birds and insects
  •     ·      Helps regulate microclimate around the facility
  •     ·      Promotes employee well-being and creates a pleasant working environment

This isn’t just landscaping—it’s part of our commitment to replenishing green cover and offsetting our carbon footprint.

APEO-Free Additives: Safer for People and Planet

APEOs (Alkyl phenol Ethoxylates) are harmful to aquatic life and are banned or restricted in many countries. Harmony Additives has proactively eliminated APEO from all our products.

Our APEO-Free Additives:

  •     ·      Meet eco-label standards
  •     ·      Are safer for workers during manufacturing and application
  •     ·      Provide equal or superior performance compared to conventional     formulations

By making this shift, we help our customers meet their own sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.

Towards a Greener Tomorrow: Our Ongoing Initiatives

Our journey towards green chemistry doesn't stop here. Some of our other ongoing initiatives include:

  •     ·      Energy-efficient production technologies
  •     ·      Reduction in carbon emissions through process optimization
  •     ·      Development of biodegradable and water-based additives
  •     ·      Employee awareness programs on environmental responsibility

Conclusion: Small Steps, Big Impact

At Harmony, we believe that sustainability is a shared responsibility. From ZLD units to APEO-free technologies, from plastic waste management to nurturing a green campus, we are taking deliberate steps toward saving the environment.

Our motto remains simple but powerful:

"Small Actions Today for a Greener Tomorrow" 

By choosing Harmony Additives, you too are becoming part of this green revolution.
