Nam Hung Manufacture and Service Company Ltd., was found in 2005. In view of the market’s needs, the Company is focusing on producing and processing textile products from the craft village. Leaning on the potentials and strength of the village that has a tradition of silk reeling, silk fabric weaving, the Company was initially a micro-enterprise self-organizing the production and trading of silk products as well as delivering the bleaching services for local customers. In 2005, the Company was officially established under the name of Nam Hung Manufacture and Services Company Limited following the Decision no. 3302080549/QD-SKH&DT dated 28th April 2005 of the Department of Planning and Investment of Quang Nam Province.

The main business activities of the Company are yarn warping, sizing, bleaching and dyeing. By which, its main products are sized warps and some other types of cotton fabric for the craft village. Mostly the products are consumped at the Central, Hanoi and Hochiminh City of Vietnam.

At present, the Company uses a very obsolete domestic technology line for yarn warping, sizing, bleaching and dyeing. In the other hand, the Company is located in a densely populated area of the village whilst its production workshop is very small, thus, the Company has a pressure of strict compliance with the environmental protection requirements.

The main activities of the Company are to produce sized warps and other types of fabric made of spindle yarn.Yarn bobbins are suspended on the creel of the beam warper, wherefrom the yarn is wound on a range of large beaming motions to create large yarn spindles. Then, the yarn from the spindles is creeled to the warping device called loom for warping process. The yarn or warp produced is thereafter sent to the sizing machine. The aim of this process is to improve its strength, its weavability and to limit breaks occurred during the weaving process. The sized warp is then ready for delivery to other weaving households within the villages for weaving process. The formed fabrics here are lately sent back to the Company for bleaching or dyeing stage that is up to the consumers’ requirements. Afterwards, the fabrics are washed twice by normal water and then being dried and stored as the end-products.


The main pollution sources of the company include temperature, fume and boiler dust, yarn dusts, wastewater with high BOD and excessive chemicals. Approximately, the company’s wastewater volume ranges from 25 to 30m3/day-night, which is mainly discharged fromsizing, bleaching and dyeing processes. The wastewater has high levels of pH, SS, BOD and COD. the effluent is directly discharged to the environment without any kind of treatment. Besides, as the main fuel for the boiler is fire-woods, the Company also emits about 100kg stack fume and leaked dust.

Realizing the need for applying CP in order to enhance production performance and solve environmental issues, the Company has actively participated in CP demonstration project of Cleaner Production in Industry Component (CPI) since 2008.

The Plant has established a CP team with 4 members, having duties of identifying obstacles, analysing resources and energy saving options. The Team has cooperated with CP experts to focus CP Assessment on the whole weaving process. 14 CP options were proposed in which 12 ones have been implemented and brought out the following particular benefits:
