RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – AATCC is sponsoring a webinar, Sustainable Approaches to Textile Processing: Where are We and What’s Next, on November 30 at 11 a.m. (EST).
Sustianble 360 will take into account environmental, economic and energy sustainability. Within these three pillars of sustainability, factors such as processing, material cost and labor need careful consideration. Sustainable approaches, from raw material to manufacturing, will influence the textile industry. Although attempts have been made to utilize less fossil fuel based materials and approaches, much more needs to be achieved in this area.
