Traditional ESG Impacts of the Textile Industry

Currently, the textile industry accounts for 10% of global emissions – greater than international flights and maritime shipping combined. Textile dyeing and finishing processes are some of the most polluting manufacturing processes on the planet, responsible for over 3% of global CO2 emissions and over 20% of global industrial waste water pollution. If business as usual persists, by 2050 the textile industry is projected to represent 25% of the global carbon footprint.
