Flashcards
0/15
Fabric Finishing
Using mechanical finishing techniques over chemical ones, optimizing energy use, and sourcing eco-friendly chemicals.
Spinning Yarn
Applying energy-saving technologies in spinning mills and using alternative fibers that require less energy to produce.
Textile Waste Management
Implementing textile recycling programs, upcycling textile waste into new products, and encouraging consumer awareness and participation.
Packaging and Distribution
Using recycled or biodegradable packaging materials, optimizing logistics to reduce carbon footprint, and employing sustainable warehouse practices.
Polyester Manufacturing
Using recycled plastic bottles to create polyester fibers, investing in technology to create biodegradable polyester, and improving recycling processes.
Dyeing Process
Using natural or low-impact dyes, waterless dyeing techniques, and better waste-water treatment systems to minimize environmental impact.
Wool Production
Ensuring ethical treatment of sheep, using fewer chemicals for treating wool, and promoting regenerative agricultural practices.
Knitting Fabrics
Enhancing machine efficiency, using yarns made from organic or recycled materials, and reducing waste during pattern cutting.
Leather Tanning
Switching to vegetable tanning methods, recycling tanning chemicals, and using waste leather scraps.
Synthetic Fiber Processing
Opt for closed-loop recycling processes, reduce energy consumption in fiber production, and innovate new biodegradable synthetic fibers.
Cotton Cultivation
Optimizing water usage by implementing rain-fed agriculture and using organic cultivation practices to reduce pesticide use.
Silk Production
Developing cruelty-free silk (Peace silk), reducing water pollution during degumming, and ensuring fair wages and conditions for silk farmers.
Printing on Fabrics
Adopting digital printing for reduced dye and water usage, and using eco-friendly inks.
Weaving Fabrics
Modernizing loom technology to reduce energy use, recycling waste fibers, and minimizing offcuts.
Natural Fiber Processing
Choosing mechanically processed fibers over chemically processed, applying less water-intensive retting processes for fibers like linen, and promoting crop rotation.
