Abstract:Due to the careless use of natural resources, developments in technology, industrialization and population growth, environmental pollution and resource depletion are experienced in the world. The garment clothing and fashion industry has a significant impact on the rapid depletion of natural resources. The rapid change in fashion, especially in the garment clothing industry, negatively affects sustainability in the use of resources. Besides these; the careless use of large amounts of water and chemicals in pro… Show more
“…While the bene ts of digital transformation are obvious, the challenges are also evident. At the same time, the contribution of TAF Industries to global pollution (20%) is a concern [4,5].…”

“…On the one hand, there is a need to determine whether the digital transformation is easy for TAF Industries to achieve. On the other hand, the industries' contribution to global pollution is worrisome [4]. The I 4.0 and 5.0 frameworks seek to promote smart manufacturing and sustainable production and could be perceived as providing guidelines for companies seeking digital transformation and environmental sustainability.…”

“…Furthermore, there has yet to be a symbiotic relationship between humans and machines because of human animosity toward machines due to their perception of their tendencies to take over human jobs [10]. Due to heavy mechanisation and the drive for mass production, the negative impact of digital transformation by the TAF industries contributes to environmental issues, including pollution of water bodies, the atmosphere, and land areas [4]. Speci c regulations could be in place for full compliance by the manufacturing industries, especially the TAF Industries, to control their operations through regulations toward recycling and re-use of waste to recover a speci c volume of e uents discharged into the environment.…”
The Textile, Apparel, and Fashion (TAF) industries significantly contribute to national gross domestic products but also account for 20% of global pollution. The Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) framework, incorporating technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, and robotics, enables smart and efficient manufacturing production, leading to more significant economic outputs. However, it also brings about issues like automation-related tensions, energy efficiency, and waste management and other sustainable practice demands. The Industry 5.0 (I 5.0) framework addresses the issues created by Industry 4.0 in many areas, especially promoting human-centric sustainable practices, social interaction, and a proper synergy between man and machine. This article examined the issues closely based on a systematic review of 42 peer-reviewed studies from 2013 to 2023 exploring the dynamics between technological advancements and sustainable practices in the TAF industries. The review identified technological implementations, circular economy support, and challenges associated with implementing the I 4.0 and 5.0 frameworks. The article analyses significant research using a descriptive literature review to understand the strategies, impact, and challenges of digitalisation and green transition in TAF industries' production and sustainability. The findings reveal a big dichotomy between the Global North and Global South TAF firms, indicating a more contextualised approach is required to integrate I 4.0 and 5.0 approaches and promote sustainable production practices. This study offers a synthesised overview of the current landscape, providing insights for stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers engaged in navigating the TAF industries towards a sustainable, digitally advanced, circular economy future.

Fast fashion, a prominent sector in global business, has come under scrutiny for its substantial clothing production and the resulting social and environmental impacts. A social and sustainable orientation in fast fashion is gaining traction with increased consumer awareness, prompting a shift in manufacturing practices. This paper, using a combination of qualitative (content analysis) and quantitative (survey) approaches, focuses on Zara and applies Stakeholder theory to confirm the positive impact of adopting social and sustainable initiatives on clients' purchase intentions. Our findings also underscore the significance of keeping stakeholders informed about the sustainable and corporate social responsibility initiatives undertaken by a brand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
