Textiles
Waste minimisation is a key issue for the textiles industry - all sectors produce significant amounts of waste and use processes that are both energy and water intensive.
Yet implementing no-cost and low-cost measures to lower waste and energy use can achieve significant environmental improvements and cost savings at the same time - reducing water and effluent costs by as much as 20% or more and energy costs by 10%.
Envirowise offers a wide range of free textile-specific publications providing practical advice and information to help companies reduce their environmental impact and increase their bottom line.
Furthermore, we are working with the trade associations such as the Textiles Institute Association of Suppliers to the British Clothing Industry (ASBCI), BATG, CBWT and KIF, within the industry to disseminate this information through seminars, conferences and workshops.
