Abstract
The performance apparel industry has often been singled out for the damage its
operations cause to the environment, and for the poor working conditions in
some of the factories it uses. However, many of the leading brand companies
and their suppliers have responded positively to such criticism in a bid to
satisfy the demands of an increasingly eco-conscious marketplace. Some firms
have gone even further and have shown a genuine commitment to protecting the
planet by reducing their carbon footprint and pursuing socially responsible
policies in every aspect of their businesses.
Many companies have sought to minimise the impact of their operations on the
environment by using recycled materials and offering recyclable products. Some
are trying out new materials, processes and technologies which hold the
promise of reducing pollution, increasing energy efficiency and minimising
waste. A growing number are incorporating less conventional eco-friendly
fibres such as bamboo and organic cotton - as well as materials made from
biopolymers rather than polymers derived from petrochemicals. Greater
attention is being paid to the safety of dyestuffs used in coloration, while
emerging technologies such as nanotechnology and plasma technology are
providing opportunities for the industry to use more sustainable methods of
manufacture.
Consumers are playing their part in reducing the carbon footprint of
performance apparel by buying increasing quantities organic clothing, using
more eco-friendly clothing care methods, and recycling unwanted garments.
Governments, too, are playing an active role in steering the performance
apparel industry away from unsustainable practices, while environmental groups
and lobbyists are working to ensure that such practices are highly publicised
and condemned.
Companies are acknowledging that sustainability has become a necessity rather
than an option, given the threat of climate change. Also, they are recognising
that they can gain a competitive edge by showing that they are committed to
environmentally and socially responsible practices. However, a major challenge
is to ensure that such commitment is echoed throughout the industry' s long and
highly complex supply chains. Good progress has been made in cleaning up the
industry, and the future is bright for those companies which put
sustainability high on their agendas. But greater efforts are needed to
increase awareness among consumers about the green credentials of the products
they buy. Better and more comprehensive labelling could play a greater role in
providing such information.
