The ambition of Sustainability in Textile Industry is to
maintain environmentally friendly solutions during various stages of textile production,
balancing the equilibrium of nature and environment. Key objective is to
minimize, rather eliminate the usage of harmful and toxic chemicals, causing
adverse environmental effect in the textile industry. This also seeks to reduce
the consumption of the water and energy. Now the biggest challenge for the
industry lies in controlling environmental pollution and manufacturing sustainable products.
The following concerns need to be considered:
·
Minimum utilization of resources including water
and energy.
·
Reduce the usage of natural resources.
·
Reduce the level of pollution by adhering to
sustainability guidelines.
·
Eliminate the utilization of toxic and harmful
chemicals from the textile processes.
·
Reduce the usage of chemicals.
·
Minimize CO2 reduction to stop emission of Green House Gases (GHG’s).
·
Maintain the safety standards.
Adidas was one of the first companies to move towards
sustainability. Being into sourcing of sportswear and casuals in huge volumes,
it is affordable to be conscious of people and planet interest while being a
profitable business too.
