“…Furthermore, companies such as Walmart benefited from zooming in on the packaging of their goods through their "zerowaste initiative" that pushes for less packaging throughout their entire supply chain and emphasizes more use of recycled or reused materials in their packaging (Franco-Garcia et al, 2018). Lessening the amount of material used in packaging reduces carbon footprints and the overall cost of the goods (Enes and Kipoz, 2020).…”

PurposeDrawing on the combined theoretical perspectives offered by the sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices view and the resource-based view (RBV), this study aims to examine whether pursuit of environmental, social and economic sustainability measures of SSCM practices drive competitive advantage (CA) among fashion-apparel manufacturing organizations in an emerging economy. Furthermore, the study investigates whether the above relationships are mediated by productivity.Design/methodology/approachBased on a theoretically supported conceptual framework, a set of hypotheses are tested by applying partial least squares structural equation modeling on a sample of 345 export-oriented fashion-apparel manufacturing companies in Bangladesh. SmartPLS (v.3.2) is applied to analyze the path model through bootstrapping procedure.FindingsThe findings suggest that the direct relationship between social sustainability dimension of SSCM practices along and CA is positive and significant. While the direct relationships between environmental sustainability and CA, and economic sustainability and CA, were found to be non-significant. However, when productivity was applied as a mediator, all the paths were significant.Research limitations/implicationsThe study contributes to the strategic management literature by presenting a combined theoretical perspective proposing the idea that sustainable supply chain practices can influence both productivity and CA, where productivity is a pertinent mediator.Practical implicationsThe study presents evidence for ready-made garments manufacturers in emerging economies on how compliance with environmental, social and economic sustainability measures in the supply chain of apparel manufacturers leads to gains in CA for the firms. Additionally, the study shows that such measures must also have a net positive impact on productivity to be able to influence CA significantly.Originality/valueThis paper appears to be among the first study that presents a framework based on a combined view of SSCM practices and RBV to empirically investigate the role of productivity as a mediator in the relationships between the sustainability dimensions of SSCM practices and CA in apparel manufacturing.

“…In the apparel industry, the effort to prevent solid textile waste mainly dealt with the pre-consumer textile waste from the apparel cut-and-sew process. The apparel cutting process results in about 10-15% of cut-and-sew fabric waste due to gaps, non-usable areas between pattern pieces, and curved pattern edges [15]. Design researchers explored creative zero-waste pattern cutting methods so that the pattern completely fits the dimensions of the fabric and uses the entire width and predetermined length of the fabric [16].…”

Textile and Product Development from End-of-Use Cotton Apparel: A Study to Reclaim Value from Waste

et al. 2022

The textile and apparel production and consumption generate a huge amount of solid textile waste. Mechanical recycling is one main method to recycle cotton waste; however, shredding in mechanical recycling shortens fiber length and reduces fiber quality. As a result, the application of mechanically recycled textiles may be limited. This research investigated mechanical methods to recycle post-consumer cotton textile waste and designed and developed second-life products. This study applied research through design methodology and documented step-by-step textile and product development practices to communicate the results. Using the textiles from deconstructed end-of-use garments with a high cotton content (80% or higher), combined with other materials, the researchers developed yarns, and nonwoven, woven, quilted, tufted fabrics. The researchers tested textile properties such as “yarn” tensile strength and elongation, fabric thickness, thermal resistance, air permeability, and stiffness. Using fabrics developed from end-of-use cotton waste, the researchers designed and developed high-value products such as bags, decorative textile, a hat, cell phone and glasses cases, and garments to contribute to the sustainability and circularity of cotton.

“…The reply is the adoption of a modern and practical perspective such as domestic fabric engineering resolutions to reduce cut-and-sew waste, as well as world format picks for zero-waste production. An appropriate reply with the useful resource of minimizing the reduction and sewn waste trouble via way of making more than a few correlations on the marker format in phrases of cloth width and factors (13) .…”

Objectives:The purpose of this study is to reduce fabric consumption by improving marker efficiency. The improvements of the existing markers lead to reduce fabric wastage during the cutting process. Methods: The Gerber CAD/CAM software version AccuMark 8.5.1 is used in the present study was made pattern and marker. A noble approach is used to conduct this experiment through Gerber CAD/CAM software. Easy marker produced at the initial stage then it replaces by the actual market by considering the allowance of developed specimen. Wastes have decreased and overall efficiency has increase up to 9.25%. Findings: The marker efficiency considerably varies in accordance to the aggregate of pattern size, size ratio and adjustment of pattern size with garments size tolerance. The enhancements in the marker efficiency decrease the fabric consumption per garment and amplify aid effectively while preventing waste generation. A saving of up to 9.25% material that saves millions of lots per year has an enormous impact on reducing aid depletion and environmental pollution. Novelty: A novel method is used to increase the marker efficiency and the style no S22BL202, Polo-TsT101, S22-W20201, S22-W20201 have used to conduct our research. As based of our knowledge, this noble approach with above style is not reported yet. So, this study will contribute to increase the increase marker efficiency followed by the save fabric and money.
