1. Background
The
textile dyeing industry has a significant environmental impact due to high
water, energy, and chemical consumption. Conventional dyeing technologies
generate wastewater that is difficult to treat and require high energy
consumption. As awareness of sustainability increases and environmental
regulations become stricter, innovative solutions in the textile dyeing
industry are necessary.
One
such approach is the use of heterobifunctional reactive dyes combined with
eco-friendly dyeing techniques, such as low liquor ratio dyeing and cold
pad-batch dyeing. These technologies reduce water, energy, and chemical
consumption while improving dye fixation efficiency on fabrics.
2. Technical and
Engineering Feasibility Study
2.1
Applied Technologies
- Low Liquor Ratio Dyeing: Reduces water consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional methods.
- Cold Pad-Batch Dyeing: Eliminates the need for additional salt and reduces energy consumption.
- Heterobifunctional Reactive Dyes: Offer higher stability, better fixation efficiency, and resistance to hydrolysis.
2.2
Infrastructure Requirements
- Automated dyeing equipment
- Integrated wastewater treatment system
- Supply of high-quality heterobifunctional reactive dyes
2.3
Technology Advantages
- Up to 50% water savings
- Reduction of hazardous wastewater
- Dye fixation efficiency above 80%
- Improved color quality and wash fastness

6. Ownership Structure
and Investment Exit Strategy
6.1
Ownership Allocation
Since
the entire investment of USD 5 million is sourced from investors, the proposed
ownership structure is:
- Investor (Equity Shareholder): 100% ownership initially, with an option to gradually divest.
- Management Team: 10% equity stake through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) over five years.
- Future Strategic Partners: Potential dilution for business expansion and joint ventures.
6.2
Exit Strategy
- IPO (Initial Public Offering): Listing on the Indonesian Stock Exchange within 7-10 years to offer liquidity to investors.
- Trade Sale: Selling ownership to a larger textile corporation or private equity firm.
- Management Buyout: Allowing the management team to purchase equity gradually.
- Dividend Distribution: Providing investors with periodic returns based on profit margins.
6.3
Risk Analysis and Mitigation
- Currency Exchange Risk: Hedging strategies and pricing adjustments in international markets.
- Raw Material Supply Chain Risk: Diversification of suppliers and long-term contracts.
- Regulatory Compliance Risk: Active engagement with government and adherence to environmental policies.
