Reducing the Textile Industry Environmental Footprint
Reducing the Textile Industry Environmental Footprint
Sourcing at MAGIC will focus on Eco Sustainable Denim Manufacturing and
Denim Trends.
There is huge interest in conserving resources and reducing the textile
industry’s environmental footprint. Most importantly, the use of water, energy,
and chemicals (WEC) in textile processing is an area where technological
advances offer big savings in resources and environmental benefits. See Cotton
Inc report.
In cotton textile processing (the leading material used for DENIM), dyeing
and finishing have the largest WEC requirements and offer the greatest scope for
reductions. The cotton textile industry can reduce its WEC environmental
footprint at least 50% by employing technologies currently used in modern
plants.
