These days I am reading and exploring the topic sustainability in fashion. You might be also reading many buzz-words and trends in sustainable fashion manufacturing - all focussing to the same goal - making the fashion industry more sustainable. Last week, we have published an article on Circular fashion and challenges in circular fashion movement. These days almost all fashion journals and fashion news websites featuring sustainability things.
In one side, the apparel industry is focussing on the real-time data, IoT, machine to machine networking, micro-factory, intelligent manufacturing for making the business sustainable. On the other hand, we need to make the fashion products sustainable way. All we need to understand the technology of the latest manufacturing tools, and the concept of sustainable fashion manufacturing.
During my study, I came to know about many terms related to sustainability in the fashion industry. Most of the terms we read on the journals and apparel and textile-related conferences.
