Resource efficiency saves money and protects the environment. Jointly with the partners of the ACIDLOOP project, adelphi offers metal finishing companies in India workshops and individual consultations to help achieving these goals.
During workshops in Chandigarh, Faridabad, Chennai, Pune and Ahmedabad, participants learn how they could reduce water consumption or the use of acids and alkalis in metal processing. Afterwards, the project team visits selected companies to identify optimisation potentials in order to increase their resource efficiency.
On top of that, adelphi organises marketing events with financial institutions and technology providers. Small and medium-sized entrepreneurs have the opportunity to inform themselves about the available resource-saving technologies as well as financing opportunities and products to invest in this technology. In the course of the project, adelphi provides continuous support to the companies with the implementation of such measures.
