Manufacturers must look closely at how their manufacturing processes impact the environment as the textile sector grows. With newer, more sustainable technologies becoming available, it is time for the industry to re-evaluate how it does business.

Every year, textile production creates billions of tons of waste and greenhouse gases. According to estimates, the global textile sector is responsible for about 20 percent of global water pollution from dyeing and finishing products.

 By making small changes in its production methods, Chung Ming Textiles (崇銘紡織) aims to make a big difference for the planet. The Taiwanese company has developed many strategies to reduce its environmental impacts and create a brighter future for textiles.

 Chung Ming Textiles has adopted sustainable practices, such as using recycled materials, investing in renewable energy, and reducing water and chemical use. As the expectations for sustainable textile products continue to grow, the company aims to lead by example.

 “We are trying to keep our company’s production and operations balanced, but we have set an important goal for 2023, which is to lower the amount of waste we produce by 10%,” said Jim Chen (陳俊嘉), general manager of Chung Ming Textiles.
