Facts:
• Textile waste occupies nearly 5% of all landfill space; one million tons of textiles will end up in a landfill every year.
• According to the World Bank 20% of industrial fresh water pollution comes from textile treatment and dyeing. In 2009, the world used three trillion gallons of fresh water to produce 60 billion kilograms of fabric; it takes 700 gallons of fresh water to make one cotton t-shirt.
• One trillion kilowatt hours is used every year by the global textile industry which equates to 10% of total global carbon impact.
There is a request from more and more buyers around the world for goods and products to be acquired from suppliers whose key parameters such as quality controls, compliance with mandatory standards, and presence of critical components or hazardous substances must be traceable up to and including the supply of raw materials.
There is a wealth of eco-certification, and legislation such as REACH. Systems and controls need to be in place to monitor these, such as IT systems, RFID, and much else. Machinery and equipment is becoming more environmentally friendly with lower noise emissions, lower energy usage, and using less oil lubricant.
Much of this will be on show at the brand new biennial exhibition, Texprocess, which is being established by Messe Frankfurt as the new leading international trade fair for processing textile and other flexible materials. This event for the garment and textile processing industry will be held in Frankfurt am Main from 24 to 27 May 2011, parallel to the already well established Techtextil, the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens.
Texprocess will promote all the latest international technological innovations in the sector with products covering the entire supply chain from design, pattern production, cutting, making up and finishing to logistics, information technologies and technical accessories.
