From the way we dye our fabrics to the way we produce our products, sustainability and social responsibility are always at the forefront. We happily employ eco-friendly practices in our manufacturing processes such as maintaining energy-efficient facilities, utilizing renewable energy in the form of solar panels, and sourcing sustainable packaging materials.
The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world just after the oil industry. And the environmental damage is increasing as the industry grows. However, there are solutions and alternatives to mitigate these problems. The first step lies in building awareness and willingness to change. What we do We Choose organic fibers and natural fibers that do not require chemicals to be produced to control water pollution We Choose fibers with low water consumption such as linen, recycled fibers, etc. to reduce water consumption We Choose natural or semi-synthetic fibers and wash clothes at a lower temperature (30ºC) to control microfiber pollution.
As the need to address climate change becomes more urgent, industry sectors are working to reduce their carbon emissions. Fashion makes a sizeable contribution to climate change. To gain a deeper understanding of fashion’s carbon emissions and identify additional abatement efforts the industry could pursue, we examined the entire value chain from farms and factories to brands and retailers to policy makers, investors, and consumers Our analysis identified a need for concerted action in three key areas: Reducing emissions from upstream operations Reducing emissions from brands’ own operations Reducing emissions from brands’ own operations
Textiles are an integral part of daily lives and the global economy, but their production and consumption often leave a global footprint of waste and pollution behind. A circular economy for textile can eliminate waste in the industry, which is a core sector of economies in the developing countries. Biodegradability is seeing great promise as a cornerstone of sustainable fashion. This is thanks to growing awareness of the environmental problems within the fashion industry, leading to consumers and brands alike seeking eco-friendly alternatives. Biodegradable materials like bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton offer a compelling solution to the textile waste problem, especially since they are easily broken down by natural action. This, combined with their sustainable farming practices, ensures that these materials will reduce the burden on both landfills and the environment. While challenges such as scalability and cost remain, innovations in the production of biodegradable textiles will help overcome these limitations. Already, new developments have ushered in the usage of novel materials such as citrus fruit rinds, soybeans, and even bioengineered spider silk. Additionally, the integration of novel technologies will further improve the production of biodegradable fabrics and, thus, improve their availability. For example, several clothing brands are investing in 3D printing technology as a novel means of manufacturing custom-fit biodegradable clothes.
Efficient resource use in clothing manufacturing involves optimizing the use of resources to produce the most products with the least amount of input. We took initiative to improve efficiency in clothing manufacturing Production planning Ensure resources are allocated appropriately to meet production deadlines. This includes determining the order of operations, production quantities, and timeline for each step. Automation Implement automated equipment and systems to streamline tasks, reduce labor costs, and enhance overall production efficiency. Lean manufacturing Adopt lean manufacturing principles to optimize processes, reduce waste, and enhance efficiency. 3D printing Use 3D printing to minimize fabric offcuts. Renewable inputs Use chemicals and new materials that are commercially produced from sugar, algae, food waste, and other biomass.
