Project Challenge Question
How can the textile industry be more sustainable?
0 notes

Introduction
“[sustainability is the] enhanced connectedness with our sense of ethics, with each other and the natural world” (Ehrenfeld, 2008)
Textiles [fabrics and garments] have historically been at the core of cultural identities, individual self-expression and basic protection (Gardetti Miguel, Torres Laura) for centuries. Whilst the fundamental purpose of textiles remains the same, the notion of fashion has morphed into an all-consuming industry with far-reaching effects and consequences. Steadily growing in economic share by 5.5% each year in the past decade (Amed, Berg, Brathery, Hedrich, 2016), society’s cycle of consumption and disposal of trends have contributed to the creation of the second largest polluter in the world (Edge, 2019), creating an ever-present need for sustainable shifts in industry practices.
With 95% of textiles in landfill holding the potential to be recycled and 15% of textiles used in the manufacturing process ending up on the cutting room floor, it is clear a systemic shift is needed to change fashion industry practices to minimise their harmful impact on the environment.

Stage One: Discover
Pollution to production countries waterways through fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals and toxic colours are derivatives of the textile manufacturing process (Mali, Bhart, 2010). Discharging 2.5 billion tonnes of wastewater in China per year (Edge, 2019), textile effluents percolate into cities surface water, groundwater and soil adversely affecting environments. Riddled with ethical issues from fibre to fabric, cotton farming has widely been accused of using child labour (ILO, 2019)

Stock Destruction
In an effort to increase transparency in their business practices, Burberry released an environmental report highlighting their stock destruction practices (Guardian, 2019). To protect the brands exclusivity and status, the brand burns excess stock from past seasons, totalling to $52 million worth of excess stock, burnt in specialist incinerators that harness energy from the process (Guardian, 2019). Whilst the brand attempts to justify this practice in the name of protecting its intellectual property, it is difficult to fathom the amount of production and manufacturing of textiles to create clothing that has no defects of faults to have it incinerated.
Furthermore, brands such as Nike allegedly slash excess new season trainers to avoid counterfeit selling whilst H&M has repeatedly been accused of burning, slashing and binning excess product, although neither of these brands offer transparency into their practices (Guardian, 2019).

High Rates of Consumption
Clothing production has doubled in the past 15 years due to the introduction of fast fashion in response to high rates of consumer consumption. Garments on average are being made cheaper, worn less and discarded quicker than ever before, reducing quality and longevity of garments enormously.
African nations obtain 80% of clothing from second-hand garments sent from Western nations (Cooper, 2018), although in response to the degrading quality of garments Rwanda has opted to use their own textile productions and reject donations.
