The European Union (EU) has published its latest report, pushing even further for mandatory traceability, digital product passports (DPPs), and a full shift toward circularity in textiles.

Having deeply engaged in textile recycling , we have seen firsthand — through close work with spinning factories, garment manufacturers, brands, and sustainability organizations in Bangladesh — how critical real transparency is, from fiber collection to final product.

Transparency and traceability are key factors in making the recycling industry truly resilient and trustworthy. It is becoming the foundation for how textiles will be produced, valued, and trusted worldwide.

The EU’s latest moves signal that our collective efforts in recycling, data-driven product development, and full stakeholder alignment are more important than ever.

We must work together, stay transparent, and accountable — to build a truly circular future.

The textile industry has experienced significant advancements through the application of 𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲. Textile engineers and scientists have effectively harnessed the unique properties of nano materials, leading to widespread commercial interest and economic benefits.

Utilizing nano-particles and nano-fibers in clothing and fabrics allows for improved fabric properties without adding significant weight, thickness, or stiffness. For instance, the integration of nano-whiskers into pants fabric creates a lightweight material that repels water and stains.

𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 has played a crucial role in producing specialized fabrics for protective garments used by emergency service workers, including military personnel, firefighters, and medical professionals. Various methods are employed to manufacture nano engineered textiles, such as incorporating synthesized nanoparticles into fibers or textiles and applying nanoparticles as coatings on finished products. Coating techniques like sol-gel, plasma polymerization, and layer-by-layer deposition are used to enhance durability and provide resistance to extreme weather conditions. The composition of nano-coating materials can also alter the surface texture of fabrics.

Nano Fibers, produced through electro-spinning and split spinning processes, possess multifunctional properties, including excellent filtration, high surface area, permeability, small fiber diameter, and thin layers. These fabrics effectively filter out toxic gases, pathogens, and other harmful substances present in the air. The even distribution of nanoparticles within polymer matrices contributes to the toughness and abrasion resistance of fabrics, while also enhancing the tensile strength of composite fibers.

Nano Composites, which consist of a mixture of nanometer-sized substances, enable the production of fabrics with improved electrical, mechanical, optical, and biological properties. This technology facilitates the development of communicating textiles, chromatic textiles, conductive textiles, warming and cooling textiles, textile sensors, and digital fashion. Metal ions and static electricity are utilized to impart sterilizing properties to fabrics, while carbon-based nanoparticles and nano-fibers serve as effective reinforcement materials for composite fibers.

𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 finds diverse applications in textiles. 𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙, fabrics are engineered for drug delivery and wound healing purposes. 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬, known for their anti-microbial properties, are extensively used in burn and scald dressings. 𝘼𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮, nano-engineered fabrics can be used to monitor vital signs such as heart rate, body temperature, and breathing rhythm. 𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧, nano technology enables the production of lightweight fabrics with high resistance to extreme temperatures, durability, antibacterial activity, improved camouflage, water resistance, and embedded multipurpose nano sensors. These textiles also possess anti-ballistic, flame-retardant, and RF-shielding properties.

In general use, nanotechnology offers various advantages. It allows for the development of wrinkle-resistant cotton fabric without compromising comfort. 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 are used to create odor-free clothing by inhibiting microbial activity. 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 provide water-resistant coatings when integrated into fabric surfaces. Nanoparticles of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide integrated into fabrics offer protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation by scattering UV light, reducing the risk of UV-related skin diseases.

In terms of safety, laboratory studies have shown no detectable presence of nanoparticles in perspiration from individuals wearing fabric coated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles. However, concerns exist regarding the potential impact of silver nanoparticles on aquatic life when extensively used in clothing, leading to high concentrations of silver in wastewater treatment plant sludge that could harm aquatic animals.

Several companies are leading the production of Nano fabrics, including -

𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞, which has developed a single-step nano-coating method using zinc oxide to provide permanent antibacterial properties to various fabric types.

𝐆𝐨𝐆𝐨𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨, produces nano-coating sprays for electronics, textiles, and cars, and also manufactures super hydrophobic and bacteria-resistant carpets, shoes, and clothes.

𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨-𝐓𝐞𝐱 is a prominent textile company specializing in nanotechnology. Its headquarters are located in Bloomfield Hills, MI, with production, quality, and research and development facilities in Hong Kong and Kings Mountain, NC. The company also has technical support teams based in China, India, and the US. Nano-Tex has recently formed partnerships with other renowned textile companies, including Designtex, Architex, Arc-Com, Carnegie, and Kravet.

By incorporating Nanoparticles or Nano-fibers into clothing and fabric, significant improvements in fabric properties can be achieved without adding excessive weight, thickness, or stiffness. For instance, the integration of nano-whiskers into fabric used for pants creates a lightweight material that is both water-repellent and resistant to stains.

If garment wastes are managed correctly, it has the potential of bringing in $4 billion annually. Though turning garment waste into materials is greatly demanded, doing so could cause conflict between business growth and addressing climate change.
The total volume of annual leftovers from our country’s garment unit is around 400,000. We can create an online market to utilize these wastages. It would be great for business as well as waste management. An Estonia based-based software company named reverse resources is attempting to create such a market. The huge amount of leftovers could be recycled for making new yarns and these can be used for manufacturing garments. A business of about $4 billion could be achieved through utilizing these leftovers.
The percentage of discarded resources in fabric and garment factories is no less than 25 percent. This parameter can go up to 47 percent in some cases, as per the findings of RR. From the findings of RR, we can see that the percentage of discarded resources in fabric and garment factories can reach up to 47 percent with no less than 25 percent. No matter how efficient our active garment units become and ensure optimum use, there is still unavoidable waste at different sections of production such as making, stitching, and dying different garment items.
The managing director of Plummy Fashions Ltd, Fazlul Hoque commented that although it has great business potential within the garment sector of our country, remanufacturing wastes produced from one cycle of production in the next involves serious practical challenges. He also added that the regenerated yarn can capture the market in developed parts of the world which is sure to emerge, with people becoming more sensitive to environmental impacts caused by industrial pollution. He also mentioned that people now are starting to clearly understand the harmful impacts done by Industrial pollution. Therefore as regenerated yarn means less pollution people especially in the developed parts of the world can help capture an emerging market.

In this day and age, utilization of recycled matters is of top priority. Since the usage of plastic materials has skyrocketed in the past 50 years, our priorities should be of recycling these plastic materials to avoid lack of materials and also causing less pollution to the environment.

In the textile industry, production and pollution go hand in hand. If we were to recycle our non-degradable products into the fabric, it would be beneficial for the textile industry as well as the planet.

When it comes to the daily use of plastic, the most common is plastic bottles. And here comes the term PET. it is a type of resin that is used to make transparent, light, shatterproof bottles for soft drinks, juices, alcohol, water, detergents, soap, etc. PET stands out for polyethylene terephthalate. Bottles are the most significant use for PET. And
PET is fully recyclable.

PET recycling process

1. PET bottles are sorted from other plastics like PVC and HDPE which are recyclable. The reclaimed material which is PET flakes is most valuable when it is most pure.

2. Bales of recycled bottles are sorted manually or automatically depending on their color. To remove any foreign material or non-PET lids and basesthe plastic is washed in a sterilising bath, after which the clean containers are dried and crushed into tiny flakes.

3. The PET flakes are washed again to ensure the purest possible final product

4. These flakes become the raw material for new products

5. Different colored flakes are used for different colored yarns. And they(flakes) are melted in a vat and forced through spinnerets producing fibres.

From the records of the Environment and Social Development Organization, we can see that Bangladesh produces around 87,000 tons of single-use plastic waste annually from which 86 percent of the waste is dumped in landfills. So PET recycling could be a helpful method to reduce plastic pollution and also produce usable yarn and fabrics. At present, 37% of plastic waste in Bangladesh is recycled. Bangladesh hopes to recycle 50% of plastics by 2025. We hope we can increase this percentage to 80% by 2030.

In the apparel industry Cutting is the most sensitive operation for manufacturing garments role as garment production starts with the cutting process. This is termed as fabric cutting which is only applicable for garments manufacturing technology as totally different from general cutting in which exact dimension is not taken into account and in fabric cutting as per the exact dimension of the pattern from a fabric lay are cut out into pattern pieces of garment component. In the garments cutting department, for making quality garments a garment manufacturing unit follows a general process flow to send the right measurement parts in the next process. For this reason, the Cutting Section Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is developed to provide guidelines for a better understanding of the procedure and to minimize operational error and there can be different forms of SOP from company to company.
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝑪𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕:
1. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Cutting Section receives the approved different sizes of patterns for each style of garments from the sample section.

2. 𝗖𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿: Cutting ratio As per the merchandiser demand for each style garment should be received.

3. 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: After getting a cutting order from the production manager a fabric requirement sheet or requisition slip is generated by the cutting in charge to the fabric store to issue fabrics from the store for each style of garments. The fabric is received in storage when the color, shrinkage, spirality, fabric dia, width, GSM is matched 100%.

4. 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: free fabrics have to be checked on the cutting table to confirm the shade variation. defects are recorded to detect any types of fabric fault inspected by a 4-point system.

5. 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Knitted fabrics require fabric relaxation is to maintain the dimensional stability of produced garments. Before spreading the fabric on a table they relax the unrolled fabric for the minimum time is twelve (12) hours for fabric relaxation and duration may vary according to the buyer’s recommendation like for 12-24 hours or 24-72 hours. Then for some hours the fabric from the fabric roll is opened and lays on the table for relaxation before cutting. Factories also relax fabric overnight after opening the fabric rolls in the fabric store.

6. 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Multiple layers of fabric are cut at the same time in mass production. So with the correct lay height and ply tension spreaders lay the fabric on a cutting table as per total marker length. And most importantly A spreading surface needs to be about 10 inches wider than the fabric. The fabric type, spreading equipment, cutting method, cutting equipment, and the firm’s quality standards and requires a flat, smooth surface is the appropriate type for determining the spreading surface.

7. 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴: After pattern receiving The cutting master plans marker ways, marker lengths, and the numbers of plies to be laid in each layer and make marker according to the order sheet and pattern size. Now the question is what is a marker? It is a thin paper placed on fabric lay for cutting which carries all the garments components. Planning and Making marker is a process of outlining garment patterns on the lay for cutting garment components. the grainline of pattern and fabric must be marked before marker making and the Marker length must be less than the cutting table length. The marker paper is laid on the top of the layer.
There are two methods of marker making:
• Manual method
• Computerized method
Markers are made manually using paper patterns for marker making by Those factories that don’t have CAD makers. Here marker is produced in two ways:

• The marker is drawn directly on the fabric lay.
• The marker is drawn on marker paper.
After Planning and Making markers which is the process of outlining garment patterns on the lay for cutting garment components the marker is placed on fabric lay Before cutting the marker from CAD and checked very carefully before placement on the top layer of the lay.

8. 𝗖𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰: After making the marker, garment patterns are cut and taken out from the layer by a cutter machine by maintaining a marker. Different technologies are used for cutting fabric layers, such as straight knife cutting, band knife machine cutting, Round knife cutting, and a computer-controlled automatic cutting machine.

9. 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀: layers are sorted size-wise and color-wise after cutting the fabric. Each ply is numbered using stickers and Numbering and bundling separation is done by following the spreading report and identifying each bundle by style, Cutting number, Bundle number, size, Serial number, Shade number, and Parts name. Quality will check every bundle using hard pattern three different positions of the bundle and will check the cutting fabrics accurately by comparing with its marker. The defective panel will be replaced from lay chart wise remnants by following shade and pattern grain lines.

10. 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Bundles are kept on inventory tables before these are sent to undergo the next process (where required) like printing, Embroidery, sewing, etc. And most important 100% of records must be collected.

𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝑼𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑹𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝒊𝒏 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒍 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒚:
1. Automatic Fabric Rib and Piping Cutting Machine
2. Computer Controlled Cutting Knives
3. Hand Shears
4. Automatic spreading machine
5. Automatic cutting machine
6. Manual cutting with a straight knife
7. Round knife cutting machine
8. Band knife cutting machine
9. Die Cutting machine
10. Computerized automatic cutting machine
11. Drills and Thread Markers
12. Notchers
13. Laser cutting machine
14. Rib cutting machine

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔:
1. Nature of fabric (grain line shade, twill, etc.)
2. Thickness of fabric.
3. Design characteristics of the finished garment.
4. Machines and tables used.

𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝑪𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔:
• Keep a checkpoint for checking garment patterns
• Study the frequency of mistake occurrences.
• Pick the top 3 major mistakes first.
• Find root causes of the mistakes.
• Work on removing the root cause from the process.
• Reduced mistakes in the subsequent orders

The pilot production run is the solution process whether it is a fabric issue or pattern issue that would come out in the pilot run pieces. In this process, there is a loss of some fabric but not the whole fabric. Must be checked to short and bundling activities like size mixing and ply mixing possibilities. For avoiding measurement issues and fit problems in bulk production Pre-production (PP) samples and the samples according to buyer specifications should be checked. Cutting depart should not be allowed to use any other pattern than approved one for a style and season that’s why the master needs to set a standard procedure to seal each final pattern and approve the same.

The most decisive part of the cutting room, as once the cutting process is done, it is very hard to adjust or fix it anymore due to mistakes. So everyone in the cutting department must follow the standard working procedures which is a standard operating procedure (SOP) for cutting room activities and the Solution can be simplified by following the standard procedure of cutting activities. fabric department and sampling and pattern making department also must follow this standard procedure to make it further error-proof. Along with the Q/C, and Q/A reports approved mock sample, and shade continuity of that lot in the cutting department the lot should be moved to the induction department ensuring the bags are properly sealed after passing the audit.

Blockchain is playing the "game-changer" rule of supply chain management for businesses both large and little. Companies can now have full transparency of all the products they buy, sell, store, etc. This ensures the general record for the authenticity of materials, the journey from manufacturer to wholesalers, suppliers to distributors and retailers, and so on. Global fashion giant Burberry and IBM interns are working together to develop a prototype blockchain-based protocol, This technology would allow Burberry customers to register their desired products alongside viewing the history and data about the environmental and human impact of the item. The IBM Eternal Blue interns worked alongside Burberry’s digital experts for roughly 3 months to develop the prototype. The protocol is termed ‘Voyage’ and has successfully been integrated within the present Burberry download app as an effort to determine if their customers have the interest to find out more about the availability chains of clothes before buying. Customers also are ready to register selected garments on the blockchain with corresponding serial numbers. There are many headlines about the poor conditions or improper payment of the workers for high-street retailers over the years. But things are changing gradually by introducing blockchain within the industry can assist in highlighting concerns, monitoring, and improving employee welfare. this might even be implemented through the transparency of pay or hours worked accounted for by using the blockchain. By recording all steps of the provision chain on the blockchain, we are able to prevent unnecessary costs yet as improve customer satisfaction, and also items are going to be less likely to be defective by the time they reach the customer, meaning that quality assurance will be publicly observed on the blockchain.

In the case of the eco-conscious shoppers among us, the blockchain adds a compelling value proposition by which all the eco-friendly claims made by retailers will be digitally verified, so one can know that if an item is truly good for the environment and factory workers or not.

𝟰. 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀:

Having open-source electronic records of products will make it easier for both consumers and makers to keep up records of product warranties, guarantees, and verifiable records of when and the way these facilities are used.No more eager to hang on to receipts for fridge or washer for years on, people will soon be ready to go browsing to an account and think about the identical information around your purchase because of the retailer and manufacturer.

𝟱. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹:

Besides tracking physical products on the blockchain, consumers can now see when and the way their data is being employed. When one's data is entered onto the blockchain, one can stay on top of things of where and whom they're going to give access to their information. It is an enormous concern nowadays since many big names like Facebook and Google face increasing regulatory pressure around how consumer data is obtained and the way it's used and sold. Consumers are often unaware of what happens with their data and to whom their data is given over to such companies. These actions can often leave people prone to cyber-attacks and fraud.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱?

Due to a shared database system provided by a blockchain-focused SCM system, every single operation which will ever occur during a supply chain is recorded within the blockchain for everybody to determine and verify all transaction information as a result everyone is forced to be answerable for their actions. Traditional supply chains are absolutely critical for the general well-being of fashion industries with big data and tiresome analytics to be done. Since this system of the availability chain is outdated and requires a major reboot that’s where blockchain comes in. Blockchain is believed by many to be the following historic period for the foremost accurate data transparency for all the transactions in an exceedingly supply chain ensuring the best style of security. Introducing blockchain technology collaborated with IoT supply chain management can get an enormous boost within the textile sector.
