At Sulochana, it loves sustainability so much, that it collects our own plastic bottles and feeds them into our vertically integrated process to create recycled polyester. This, in turn, can be used to create beautiful, sustainable products such as filament, staple fiber, and fiberfill products. Here’s the simple math -the more plastic it recycles, the less chance it has to end up either in landfills or as plastic littering our landscape and oceans.

Fashion

It has been estimated that approximately 10% of the global carbon emissions come from the fashion industry.

The objective critical issues faced by Italy as a whole throughout the course of 2021, primarily dictated by a pandemic that upset any and all pre-existing equilibriums, have not slowed or halted the Italian textile machinery sector.

Indeed, data presented during the annual assembly of ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers, held on 1 July proved decidedly positive, showing that in 2021 the sector recovered significantly compared to 2020, to the point of returning to pre-Covid levels.

Specifically, Italian textile machinery production amounted to 2.388 billion euros (+35% over 2020 and + 5% over 2019), with total exports amounting to 2.031 billion euros (+37% over 2020 and +9% over 2019).

However, these results do not cancel the obstacles that companies are still facing.

Looking to the near future, expectations are for a rather uncertain outlook, as underscored by ACIMIT President Alessandro Zucchi: “2022 remains a year replete with unknown factors, starting with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, along with the persistence of the pandemic, which seriously risks delaying expected growth consolidation for businesses in the sector.

Difficulties in finding raw materials and components negatively affect the completion and fulfillment of orders processed as far back as 2021.

To boot, rising energy costs and inflationary trends affecting numerous commodities are depressing overall business confidence. So the outlook for the sector is not so good.”.

The textiles and clothing industry exported merchandise worth around US$ 44.4 billion during the year 2021-22, accounting for around 10% of the total exports, and has been gearing itself to boost exports by taking advantage of the numerous policy initiatives by the Government during the last two years.

The textile industry has been facing challenges on account of the volatility in the forex rates especially the US dollar rates. The Rupee has depreciated to a record level in recent days.

In a press release issued here today, Mr. Ravi Sam, Chairman, The Southern India Mills Association (SIMA) welcomed the RBI announcement of the international trade settlement in Indian Rupees (INR) and stated that proactive initiative by the Government has given a sigh of relief to the Indian exporters and importers, who have been facing challenges owing to the tightening of monetary policies all over the world.

He has said that the policy would encourage the countries having substantial trade with India and having forex shortages to increase their trade with India thereby throwing more opportunities to boost the exports apart from helping India to reduce its trade deficits on account of oil imports.

SIMA Chairman has stated that though the real benefit could be reaped only after a considerable time, in the long run, this would encourage several countries intending to trade in INR to opt for such trade and thereby make INR become yet another international currency for international trade.

ZDHC Releases 2021 Impact Report on the Fashion Industry’s Environmental Detox.

The ZDHC Foundation released its 2021 Impact Report today, which shares the progress of thousands of fashion brands, manufacturers and chemical suppliers worldwide who have committed to detoxing their supply chains through more responsible and sustainable chemical and wastewater management.

“By most estimates, we have less than a decade to mitigate many of the devastating effects that climate change is inflicting. Alongside the need to drastically reduce our carbon footprint, we must also urgently address the interrelated environmental crises that receive less attention: the massive loss of biodiversity and the degradation of water sources across the planet.

By building ZDHC competence centres on greenhouse gas emissions (climate change), biodiversity, circularity and water stewardship, we are tackling these interrelated problems head on.

We must remember that chemistry will be part of the solution: it can help us understand, monitor, protect and improve the environment around us.” Frank Michel, Executive Director, The ZDHC Foundation.
