Sripathi Paper and Boards has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Tamil Nadu, represented by the district collector of Virudhunagar, Dr VP Jeyaseelan, to launch a waste water treatment project aimed at tackling water pollution in the Sivakasi region. The project targets the long-standing issue of untreated wastewater contaminating the Urinjikulam tank, a problem that has been degrading both surface and groundwater quality in the area.
Watch: In Pursuit of Lesser Water Footprint
The initiative will commence with the restoration and cleaning of four key lakes: Sengulam, Kadambakulam, Urinjikulam, and Parpankulam. Following this, a sewage treatment plant will be installed at Sripathi Paper and Boards, utilizing homegrown technology developed by IIT Madras. The plant will have the capacity to process up to six million litres of wastewater daily.

This joint effort aims not only to preserve the ecological balance of the local water bodies but also to sustainably reuse the treated water in the company’s paper production operations. The project is also expected to rejuvenate the groundwater table in Tiruthangal, a key locality within the Sivakasi City Municipal Corporation.
