Clothing factory in Sri Lanka
MAS Intimates Thurulie

The book explains how within 13 months MAS Intimates created a building that respects the balance between social, environmental, and economic performance whilst also providing a functionally, culturally, and aesthetically appropriate response to its unique setting.

MAS Intimates Thurulie is a visionary departure from a standard factory. It claims to be the world’s first clothing factory powered solely by carbon-neutral sources. Energy consumption is 25 percent lower than that of comparable factories, and consumption of potable water about half the norm.
