• According to the World Bank, brick kilns contribute 8–14% of total air pollution in the region.
• Traditional kilns emit high levels of particulate matter (PM) and black carbon (soot), impacting air quality and public health.
• Key recommendation by government – Mandatory shift to Zig-Zag kiln technology – improves combustion efficiency, reduces fuel use, and lowers emissions.

What is Zig-Zag kiln technology?

• Zig-zag kiln technology is a kiln design that optimizes heat transfer and combustion efficiency by forcing hot air to follow a zigzag path through a series of brick chambers. 
• This design improves combustion and heat transfer, leading to reduced energy consumption, lower emissions, and a higher percentage of high-quality bricks.
