Next decade predicted as the transformation period for fashion industry

To reduce human exposure to damaging chemicals, the clothing and textile industry will go through a period of transformation over the next decade, as per the 60-page report titled ‘Safer Chemistry Innovation in the Textile and Apparel Industry’.

The report has been brought up by Safer Made, a venture capital fund set up.

It is expected that during this period, the industry will develop new materials and eliminate the chemicals that are both having a detrimental effect on the world’s eco-system.

According to the report, the successful elimination of hazardous chemicals will depend on positive action from a wide range of operators in the supply chain – from both within and outside the industry. Prominent among them that can lead the way in safer chemistry innovations, are brands, retailers, chemical suppliers and the mills that create the fabrics.

The report has suggested innovation approaches that are likely to bring forth change. These include development of new materials, such as alternatives to leather, new safer chemistries, including bio-based dyes, waterless processing, effective recycling of fibres from nylons and polyester and improved supply chain information.
