  1. Examination Theory Lesson objective – To consider the impact of a textile product on the environment To understand what is meant by sustainability

  2. sustainability • Many consumers are interested in green and ethical issues and are demanding sustainable products • ‘sustainable’ refers to products that have been designed and made to have a lesser impact on the environment and improve the working conditions and economic security of those making the product. Lesson objective – To consider the impact of a textile product on the environment To understand what is meant by sustainability

  3. Questions • How can manufacturers make textiles products more sustainable? • What is meant by the term ethical? Lesson objective – To consider the impact of a textile product on the environment To understand what is meant by sustainability

  4. What do we mean by Recycle? • Recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products. Recycling prevents useful material resources being wasted, reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces energyusage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions, compared to virgin production.[1] Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the waste line. Lesson objective – To consider the impact of a textile product on the environment To understand what is meant by sustainability

  5. Recyclable materials, also called • "recyclables" or "recyclates", may originate from a wide range of sources including the home and industry. They include textiles and plastics. Biodegradable waste, such as food waste or garden waste, is also recyclable with the assistance of microorganisms through composting or anaerobic digestion.

  7. Recyclates • need to be sorted and separated into material types. Contamination of the recylates with other materials must be prevented to increase the recyclates value and facilitate easier reprocessing for the ultimate recycling facility. This sorting can be performed either by the producer of the waste or within semi or fully-automated materials recovery facilities.

  8. What can you do to help? • TIP TO REDUCE POLLUTION Avoid clothes, which require chemical dry cleaning. • TIP TO SAVE ENERGY AND YOUR MONEYKeep your washing and the use of dryers and ironing to a minimum.  • Choose a low temperature or economy cycle.  • Dry clothes outside whenever possible • Don't be exploited by the media - use charity shops, both to buy interesting clothing, and to pass on your unwanted clothes. • Buy Fair-trade clothes Lesson objective – To consider the impact of a textile product on the environment To understand what is meant by sustainability

  9. Workers sort and separate collected textiles • into good quality clothing and shoes which can be reused or worn. These sorting facilities are in a trend of being moved from developed countries such as the UK to developing countries.[14] • Damaged textiles are further sorted into grades to make industrial wiping cloths and for use in paper manufacture or material which is suitable for fibre reclamation and filling products. If textile reprocessors receive wet or soiled clothes however, these may still end up being disposed of in landfill, as the washing and drying facilities are not present at sorting units.

  10. Fibre reclamation mills sort textiles according to fibre type and colour. • Colour sorting eliminates the need to re-dye the recycled textiles. The textiles are shredded into "shoddy" fibres and blended with other selected fibres, depending on the intended end use of the recycled yarn. • The blended mixture is carded to clean and mix the fibres and spun ready for weaving or knitting. • The fibres can also be compressed for mattress production. Textiles sent to the flocking industry are shredded to make filling material for car insulation, roofing felts, loudspeaker cones, panel linings and furniture padding.

  11. For each of these five areas of sustainability, the sustainable impact of the garment is monitored across 12 categories: • Global Warming, • Acidification, • Ozone Depletion, • Eutrophication, • Photochemical Smog, • Human Health, • Ecological Toxicity, • Fossil Fuel Depletion, • Habitat Alteration, • Criteria Air Pollutants, • Water Intake, • Solid and Hazardous Waste.
