How Textile Industry Reduces its Water Footprint

Textile industry has always been a water guzzler with textile production requiring water for a variety of stages.

An estimated 93 billion cubic meters of water used, including cotton farming, annually according to Ellen MacArthur Foundation : A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion’s future.

Responsible textile mills also invest in the latest efficient dyeing machinery.

Aclima , the Norwegian wool specialist brand, launched ReBorn , a range of knitwear manufactured from fabric cuttings from their factory floor.

LMA has incorporated yarn waste, giving trash a second life.

The combination of recycled cotton and recycled polyester brings forward a special texture, resulting from the combination of all the different fibers.

Technology contributes to drive the textile sector at all levels, from spinning through to finishing.

The unique manufacturing process cuts a decades-old , multi-part process into a three-minute , minimal-waste step.

The process reduces CO2 emissions by 75% but also saves water that would have previously been used in the textile manufacturing.

As we say, every drop counts!.
