The textile industry plays a significant part in the global economy, yet often operates with disregard to its environmental and social impacts. This book takes a wide-ranging look at current analysis of the industry and explores the issues of continuous consumption and increasing disposability.
There is no doubt that the textile industry the production of clothing, fabrics, thread, fibre and related products plays a significant part in the global economy. It also frequently operates with disregard to its environmental and social impacts. The textile industry uses large quantities of water and outputs large quantities of waste. As for social aspects, many unskilled jobs have disappeared in regions that rely heavily on these industries. Another serious and still unresolved problem is the flexibility textile industry companies claim to need. Faced with fierce international competition, they are increasingly unable to offer job security. This is without even considering the informal-sector work proliferating both in developing and developed countries. Child labour persists within this sector despite growing pressure to halt it.
