Designed to help companies better control fibre fragments in wastewater during the production of textiles and apparel.
Compliment root cause action at the design and development level, by preventing fibre loss during manufacturing.
Key Takeaways
An aligned and industry wide adoption of best practices is critical. Organisations can get involved today and support the roll out of internationally accepted manufacturing guidelines. The scope includes industrial wastewater discharge produced within the operations of textile, apparel and footwear suppliers with wet processing facilities. As understanding improves, TMC will continue to work with the industry to revise and enhance the guidelines that will be presented in the document.
Key Glossary Terms
“The implementation of wastewater management at a facility level is a complementary action to the root cause mitigation that can be undertaken at the textile design and development level, all intended to prevent loss from occurring.”
