This document discusses sustainability in the textile industry. It defines sustainability and its three pillars of economic, environmental and social responsibility. The textile industry impacts all three pillars due to its large consumption of resources, chemicals, and energy at each stage of production. To be sustainable, the industry must minimize impacts on the environment and human health while remaining economically viable. Key strategies mentioned include using organic, recycled, and low-impact materials; renewable energy; reducing water and chemical use; and certifications that ensure ethical labor practices. The conclusion emphasizes that sustainability requires consideration for people, planet and profits to provide environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.

3. The 3 principles of sustainability
• Environmentally Viable- It should have the lowest possible adverse effect on the environment.
• Social Desirable- It should respect the social elements of fair trade and human rights of the
people involvement.
• Economically feasible- It should be able to Compete effectively in the global marketplace
against less sustainable product.

4. NEED OF SUSTAINABILITY IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY
• Consumption of natural resources has increased dramatically in the last 40 years .
• Issues like that of global warming, natural resource depletion, toxic waste disposal, and
increasing air, water and soil pollution are of global importance.
• At every stage of textile production, vast amounts of energy, clean water and chemicals are
used to process the textiles and apparel.
• Thus apparel industry also needs to eliminate environmental hazards, improve process efficiency

5. A sustainable approach covers the following points:
• Minimum use of resources (water and energy consumption
during preparation, colouration and finishing).
• Minimum chemical consumption.
• Minimum pollution load.
• Toxic chemicals eliminated from supply chain.
• Harmful chemical residues eliminated from final textile.

7. Various Chemicals Used In Each Stage Of Processing

8. ACHEIVING SUSTAINABILITY IN APPAREL INDUSTRY
In broader perspective sustainability can be achieved by following 2major steps
Organic Clothing It is made from materials raised in or grown in compliance with
organic agricultural standards. The source of the clothing's fibre are free from
herbicides, pesticides, or genetically modified seed.
Recycling Fashion Textiles that are discarded by consumers, retailers or charitable
organisations undergo a discriminating process of sorting, grading and separation
into waste-free products which are suitable for reuse.

9. BENEFITS OF ORGANIC CLOTHING
• No chemical pesticides are used.
• Organic cotton farming produces far less CO2 emissions.
• Organic cotton farming uses up to 60% less water than conventional farming methods.
• Pesticide or herbicide residues are not entered accidentally into the environment.
• Humans and animals are not exposed to chemical pesticides or herbicides.
• When the fabric is discarded, pesticides and herbicides are not returned to the earth in
landfill, or enter into recycling process.

10. STEPS TO BE TAKEN FOR SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE PROCESSING
1. Eco-friendly Fibres
• Organic cotton
• Bamboo Fibre
• Alpaca Wool
• Recycled Polyester
2. Dyes
• Azo-free colourants
• Biodegradable dyes
• Chrome-free tanning
• Fibre reactive dyes
• Low-impact dyes • Natural dyes

11. ALTERNATE WET PROCESSING METHODS
• Chlorine-free bleaching
• Cold or low temperature dye processes
• Dye bath reuse
• Eco bleach
• Ink-jet printing
• Vegetable tanning
• Waste water recycling

12. EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY IN APPAREL INDUSTR
Levi’s
1.Levi's is a brand of denim jeans, under privately held American clothing company Levi Strauss
& Co.
2. Their Waste less line of jeans uses cleaned, sorted and crushed PET plastic bottles and food
trays to make polyester fiber.
3.Then its blended with cotton and woven.

14. Can you correctly name the
4 R’s of sustainability?
Recycle -Materials and products or use recycled materials
Reuse - Materials and products where applicable
Reduce - The materials and energy used
Recover - Energy from waste

16. CONCLUSION
By Our all discussion Finally .
We can provide clear and easy idea regarding Sustainability
The environment friendly materials and products
Don’t harm the environment.
Ethical product
The workers are treated and paid fairly
“Sustainability taking care of people rights and Environment planet as well as own
industry ”
