WHY SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS IN THE RMG INDUSTRY?
“Sustainability” is becoming more and more relevant in the modern age. It means to “Sustain” the environment at a desired level and make it “Bearable” for the future generation. The consumers want to know more about where their clothes are coming from as RMG industry is one of the major contributors to this destructive process. It contributes to approximately 10% of the overall global CO2 emission and produces 20% of the total global water waste. Even some of the raw materials involved in the manufacturing require the use of fertilizers and harmful substances which are fatal to the environment. Therefore, to compete and to survive in this modern era it has become necessary to comply to the sustainability criteria. With responsible and Eco-friendly manufacturing and sourcing process, we believe that it is possible to reduce the emissions to a tolerable level. Alongside the addition of organic sourcing, recycling and fair distribution of wages among the workers can make the RMG sector a sustainability leader.
