Circularity 3 Ways
A recent New York Times article titled, “Climate Report Card Says Countries Are Trying, but Urgently Need Improvement,” noted that while the rate of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) has slowed, it needs to drop some 60 percent by 2035 to keep global warming at safer levels.
As we acknowledge the textile industry’s significant contribution to the problem, it’s clear that no one approach to reducing our industry’s raw material inputs, tons of waste, and GHGe will suffice. Happily, there’s an expanding menu of textile technologies working towards circular solutions to the climate challenge.
