(P) Use energy from renewable sources. eg. wind power, and be more energy efficient. eg. using natural instead of electric light if possible.
3 of 6
Pollution and Use Of Resources
Use fabrics made from biofibres. Use water more efficiently. eg. reuse water water in the dyeing process.
4 of 6
Transport Pollution
Textile factories are often in different countries from their products' markets so a lot of fuel is burned transporting products. Raw materials are also transported long distances.
