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.

Description: "Pacific Northwest Fibershed seeks to deepen the sustainable textile conversation by directly connecting the wearer to the biological context of their wardrobe. We support and develop regenerative textile systems that are based in carbon farming practices, regional manufacturing and public education. This transparency empowers wearers, farmers and artisans to enhance ecological balance, interdependent community economies and organic agriculture through soil-to-soil processes." -- from the website, 2019.12.22
