Transition to Greener Textiles – Sustainable Fibers, Testing and Certification
The fashion industry is widely believed to be the second most polluting industry in the world, coming just after oil. Clothing manufacturing comes at huge environmental and social costs. The production chain of the industry is complex, involving raw materials extraction and processing, materials production, dyeing and finishing, and finished product assembly. Understanding the fiber’s origin and the traceability solution in the supply chain is the first important step to ensure that clothes are produced as ethically and sustainably as possible.
Webinar Highlights:
- Understand the essential elements of sustainable fibers and the development trend.
- Overview of the current methodologies and challenges to identify sustainable fibers.
- Learn the available solutions to enable the transparency and traceability at the fiber level in the textile supply chain such as the Textile Exchange Standards Certification on organic, recycled, and animal fibers (wool, mohair, alpaca) materials, Forest Stewardship Council certification and Better Cotton’s Chain of Custody verification.
Join this webinar to get an overall understanding of greener textiles and the solutions that will allow companies and consumers to understand the environmental and social impacts of textile production, and to make informed decisions before they buy and use.
