1 2.02 D.2 Environmental Issues
In Apparel Manufacturing

2 Menu: Issues and Solutions
Toxic Pollutants Waste Materials in Our Landfills Apparel Production Using Up Nonrenewable Resources Textile Waste Pesticides and Insecticides in Our Soil from Fiber Crops

3 Issue: Toxic Pollutants in the Environment
Synthetic fibers production release toxic pollutants into the air and water supply

4 Solution Federal laws in the 1970’s eliminated the release of these pollutants Clean Air Act Clean Water Act Resource Conservation & Recovery Act Toxic Substances Control Act

5 Issue Those Processes Now in Other Countries
Pollution in China

6 Solution How do you think we can help eliminate pollution in other countries?

7 Issue Waste Materials in Our Landfill

8 Solution: Recycling Apparel manufacturers are converting waste material and unwanted existing products into new products What can be made from water bottles?

9 From Water Bottles to……
Products Number of 20 ounce bottles T-shirt 19 bottles Fiberfill Ski Jacket 14 bottles Fiberfill Sleeping Bag 114 bottles Carpeting 19 bottles per square foot

10 Issue Nonrenewable Resources
Apparel Production depleting nonrenewable resources which cannot be replaced Example: Petroleum used to make synthetic fibers

11 Solution Renewable Resources
Using natural products that nature can replenish Examples: Trees and plants

12 Fibers From a Renewable Resource
Lyocell: wood pulp of eucalyptus trees Sorona: corn Rayon: bamboo fibers

13 Issue Textile Waste The EPA estimates 13.1 million tons of textile waste was generated in 2012. 5.2% of municipal waste What can be done to reduce the amount of textile waste? Check the CIA World Factbook web site, Economy tab for statistic update.

14 Solution Eliminating Textile Waste
Donate for reuse or resale Turn in to companies to recycle like Patagonia Repurpose textile products

15 Issue Soil Pollutants Insecticides and Pesticides used in fiber crops

16 Solution Organically Grown Fibers
Environment friendly Genetically modified seeds and planted resistant to pests Grown without harmful pesticides and fertilizers
