The increasing importance of sustainable and transparent supply chains is a trend affecting our daily business practices. So in this post, you will be able to learn how we at Jolon Textile bring sustainability to our operations. Since we as a global brand, care a lot about the planet we live on and the future generations to come.
Background
1. Environment
By incomplete statistics, billion tons wastage of plastic bottles/products & cloths/textiles were disposed of which cover our planet. As a result, our environment and our planet are in mourning. Because the textile industry is the world’s second-largest environmental polluter after the petroleum industry. Since it emits 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse gases every year. And from that 10% of the global total, textile fiber, yarn, and fabric manufacturers are the main ones. For example, statistics show that 34% of the microplastics wastage found in the oceans comes from the textile/clothing industry. Also, most of them are made of polyester, polyethylene, acrylic, elastane, etc.
So selecting more sustainable alternative raw materials and developing more sustainable methods in the production chain is the key turning point for textile manufacturers/distributors/wholesalers/brands.
