Sustainability in the Textile and Garment Industries Collection

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: May, 2021

Description:

In 2015, The United Nations Launched the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN SDGs take a broad view of sustainability; connecting the need to address the environmental causes of climate change to the human cost of things like hunger, inadequate housing, poverty, and equal access to education. All 17 of the SDGs listed by the UN apply to the people and industries connected to textile and garment manufacturing. This collection seeks to document organizations that are working to create more social and environmental sustainability within the textile and garment industries worldwide.

Title: Textile Lab Fibershed

URL: https://www.newyorktextilelab.com/

Description: "The Textile Lab Fibershed links together designers, end users, and local fiber systems to foster a resilient textile economy in New York State. We bring together New York designers with local fiber producers and manufacturers in order to grow an economically diverse, regional textile supply chain. Textile Lab currently operates within a 300-mile radius of NYC, with the goal to shorten the textile supply chain, and bring regionally sourced and processed materials closer to designers so they can create products that add value to our communities and the environment." -- from the website, 2020.09.03
