Sustainable Innovation in the Textile Industry

Date/Time: October 13, 2020 (1-2PM ET / 10-11AM PT)

As global apparel consumption continues to rise—an expected increase of 60% by 2030—that growth could have a dangerous impact on the environment. Currently, 87% of textiles are landfilled or incinerated and 10% of GHG emissions come from fashion industry. As Earth’s resources become more and more constrained, the global fashion industry is looking toward innovative materials and strategies to reduce its environmental impact and carbon footprint. But bringing consumers and others in the apparel industry value chain along on the sustainability journey can be a challenge.

  • Eastman’s recent launch of Naia™ Renew that addresses the need to have more sustainable fibers.
