Artistic Milliners is proud to be a trailblazer in sustainable apparel manufacturing. We are the first in Pakistan to achieve both LEED Gold and LEED Platinum certifications for our state-of-the-art facilities. Our flagship Unit-15, a LEED Platinum-certified industrial complex, exemplifies our dedication to environmental stewardship. Through innovative design and advanced technologies, we have significantly reduced our environmental footprint, achieving a 50% reduction in water usage, alongside substantial improvements in carbon emissions, energy efficiency, and waste reduction.
Artistic Milliners can produce up to 108 million meters of denim fabrics , many of which incorporate sustainable, recycled, and biodegradable elements like recycled PIW and PCW cotton, hemp, Tencel™, LYCRA® EcoMade, and ROICA™ biodegradable elastane. Our fabrics division is committed to the circular model of business, utilizing technologies such as Crystal Clear 3.0 indigo dye technology, a water and salt-free dyeing process, G2 Dynamic ozone technology, and Nature's Coating's BioBlack TX, a carbon-negative pigment made from wood waste. It is precisely this ethos which enabled us to collaborate with brand and supply chain partners to develop, Dylan, the world’s first denim products that met Cradle-to-Cradle Institute Gold Standard.
Artistic Milliners expanded beyond denim in 2022 with the opening of Artmill, a cutting-edge finishing facility that produces piece-dyed fabrics and denim hybrids, activewear, and workwear. With a focus on woven fabrics for piece dyeing and garment dye, Artmill can produce 25 million meters of fabric and up to 6 million garments annually. The company is now the regions first first LEED Platinum- certified piece-dye mil, with power provided by renewable energy and water and chemical recycling methods in place. Mill offerings include VAT, reactive disperse dyeing, and chemical and mechanical finishes. Artmill is designed from the ground up to offer retailers and brands a turnkey solution for their activewear, workwear, and casualwear programs.
Our spinning division is a global leader in the production of sustainable and innovative yarns. We produce 8.2 million pounds of world-class cotton yarn monthly, with a diverse product portfolio that includes recycled cotton, organic cotton, BCI cotton, and smart fibers such as Tencel™, Recycled Poly, Creora, Circulose®, LYCRA® EcoMade, Thermolite®, and COOLMAX®.
The division also houses our dedicated fiber recycling facility, Circular Park. This facility consolidates our internal textile waste streams and post-consumer waste, diverting it from landfills and reintroducing it into the production cycle. Developed in partnership with French machinery specialist La Roche, the 70,000-square-foot facility is equipped with cutting-edge, precision-controlled sorting and automated shredding machines.
Artistic Milliners is a pioneer in renewable energy within Pakistan. Our state-of-the-art wind farms, with an operational capacity of 100 MW are a testament to our commitment to sustainability. Currently, our wind farms power 144,500 households through Pakistan's national grid, supplying over 1.3 billion kWh of green energy.
Our manufacturing facilities also utilize over 12 MW of solar power, further reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources. We are developing new renewable energy projects across Pakistan to promote a shift away from fossil fuels, reduce carbon emissions, and lower energy generation costs. In 2023 alone, we mitigated over 670,000 tonnes of GHG emissions.
