Sustainable and Innovative Material Solutions in the Fashion Industry

However, the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of global wastewater. And the environmental damage is increasing as the fashion industry grows. it is becoming increasingly important to find ways to reduce its environmental impact. thus, a growing number of companies and brands are considering the sustainable status of their supply chains and syncing their environmental efforts with their production methods, but, consumers’ understanding of sustainable shoe and clothing are often vague, and their buying decisions between sustainable and non-sustainable apparel often depend on aesthetic, functional, and financial benefits, thus, they need to fashin indsutry designers are constantly engaged in researching new desins, uses, materials, and market perspectives to Combine beauty with utility.

In actuality, footwear and apparel allied industries designers are by their nature divergent thinkers.

Usually, regarding materials and design considerations, the Quality of the fashion product is measured in three characteristics—durability, utility, and emotional appeal—with respect to the raw materials used, the product design, and the construction of the product.

Durability factors are tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance, colorfastness, and cracking and bursting strength.

Practicability factors are air permeability, water permeability, thermal conductivity, crease retention, wrinkle resistance, shrinkage, and soil resistance.

Appeal factors are the eye appeal of the fabric face, tactile response to the fabric surface, fabric hand (reaction to hand manipulation of the fabric), and eye appeal of the garment’s face, silhouette, design, and drape. The principles involved are the same whether the footwear and apparel allied products are made of leather, plastic, foam, or textiles such as woven, knit, or felt fabric materials.
