Subsequently, PTA decided to start the implementation of cleaner technology component under the title of “Cleaner Technology Program for Korangi Tanneries (CTP-KT)”. The approach of the program is to implement proposed environmental solutions in a logical sequence under a cost-effective framework with direct and indirect financial paybacks.
