The use of sustainable textiles has become a growing trend in the fashion industry. Many companies have turned to sustainable textile alternatives and reduced the environmental impact of their production processes.
Since sustainable textiles are also produced by considering social equality; Measures are also increasing on issues such as child labor, prevention of discrimination, prevention of harassment and abuse, prevention of forced labor, fair remuneration and ethics.
More than 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from consumer goods, and 75% of forced child labor comes from the consumer goods supply chain.
Sustainable textiles are textiles made from renewable materials such as cotton, hemp, fiber, polyester and bamboo. These products have a lower environmental impact than those made from synthetic or non-renewable materials.
80% of the amount of carbon created by a garment in the textile industry depends on the raw material and design process.
Sustainability first starts at the raw material selection and design phase. Sustainable raw material selection is the key starting point. For this reason, the design process should be shaped by environmental concerns.
Another issue that includes reducing the consumption of raw materials, designing products so that they can be easily separated and reused after use (eco-design), extending the useful life of products through maintenance and repair, using recyclable materials in products and recovering raw materials from the waste stream is circularity. Well; designs a production and consumption system with minimal material and energy loss through extensive reuse, recycling and recovery.
