Sustainability
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.

ACHEIVING SUSTAINABILITY INAPPAREL 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.

BENEFITS OF ORGANICCLOTHING • 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.
