A SOLUTION AGAINST THE POLLUTION OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
The textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world with nearly 5% of the total volume of waste.
Moreover, 20% of all freshwater pollution comes from the textile processing and dyeing stages; with the following pollution factors :
- Waste: clothing and textiles generate tons of waste that ends up in landfills around the world. The decomposition of clothes is long with textiles that cause chemical pollution (eg: polyester)
- Water and air pollution: the dyes used in the manufacture of textiles are mixed with water and chemicals that are then thrown away. The combustion of all the products inside the factories also pollutes the air with chemicals
- Use of resources: Europeans throw away an average of 21 kg of clothes per year while renewing their wardrobe. One of the main reasons for this is the deterioration of fiber texture and stains on clothing
