About Course: The textile industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, but it also has a significant impact on the environment being a second largest polluting industry in the world. The use of substantial amounts of water, energy, chemicals, and fibers in textile production leads to pollution and negative impacts on natural resources. Additionally, the industry also has a large carbon footprint due to the energy consumption requirement for production and transportation.

Incorporating sustainability into the textile industry is essential for protecting the socio-economic and environment economic viability. By implementing sustainable practices, textile companies can reduce their environmental impact, improve their social responsibility, and improve their bottom line.

This course aims at providing fundamental knowledge on sustainability principles as well as their application in the textile value chain. Furthermore, it highlights the emerging sustainability issues such as sustainable raw materials, energy efficient machines, renewable energy concept, responsible sourcing, and product development etc. in textile and apparel sector.
