The textile sector, which ranks among the most polluting in the world, must look into sustainable practices to reduce resource consumption and pollution. Thus there is greater scope for Textile companies as one would reckon that by bringing down total energy use per unit of output at manufacturing plants using renewable inputs such as solar, hydroelectric, and landfill gas. Another argument for gaining currency is the credible use of decentralized renewable energy which promises to modernize and catalyze the textile industry's growth. Also, the good news is that it clearly has the potential to improve the livelihoods of millions by being a sector generating huge jobs creator & an economic force multiplier.
