Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to take a small body of folk art material and place it in its broadest social, economic and cultural context. The items on which this discussion is based are the domestic folk textiles of Crete. This material was chosen for several reasons; Crete has always been a cross-roads in the Mediterranean and as a result of its varied history it is likely to show clearly any influence which historical and social background may have on folk art. The thesis begins with a discussion of folk art in general and Greek folk art in particular. It is suggested that folk art is above all the product of the environment in which it was produced and that it is made in essentially traditionalr ural societiesb y thoseb y whom it will be used. This theory is then applied over five chapters to Cretan folk textiles, beginning by taking the objects in their broadest possible context and homing in on the more specific aspects of their function and use. First the varied history of Crete is examined and it is deduced that the foreign governors of Crete during the Modem period exercised considerable control over the native population, their influence permeating throughout society. The origin of the raw materials involved in the production of textiles is then examined with special reference to the availability and movement of the materials concerned. They are found to come predominantly from very close to their site of use. The textiles are examined as artefacts in their own right and found to serve practical, decorative and social functions. In the last case they appear in large quantities as dowry goods and as such are capable of representing skill, wealth and status. Finally, the techniques and designs on both weavings and embroideries are examined. The result is a combination of native and foreign devices, together with many of those features which are found on folk art all over the World. In this way it is argued that folk art is reflection of its environment in its broadest sense and to remove such artefacts from their context is to risk misunderstanding their character, function and appearance.

"Museums and Australia???s Greek textile heritage: the desirability and ability of State museums to be inclusive of diverse cultures through the reconciliation of public cultural policies with private and community concerns."

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the desirability of Australia???s State museums to be inclusive of diverse cultures. In keeping with a cultural studies approach, and a commitment to social action, emphasis is placed upon enhancing the ability of State museums to fulfil obligations and expectations imposed upon them as modern collecting institutions in a culturally diverse nation. By relating the desirability and ability of State museums to attaining social justice in a multicultural Australia through broadening the concept of Australia???s heritage, the thesis is firmly situated within post-colonial discourse. The thesis analyses State multicultural, heritage, and museum legislation, in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, with regard to State museums as agents of cultural policy. Results from a survey, Greeks and Museums, conducted amongst Australia???s Greeks in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, reveal an anomaly between their museum-going habits and the perception of those habits as expressed by government policies promoting the inclusion of Australians of a non-English speaking background in the nation???s cultural programmes. In exploring the issue of inclusiveness, the thesis highlights the need for cultural institutions to shift the emphasis away from audience development, towards greater audience participation. The thesis outlines an initiative-derived Queensland Model for establishing an inclusive relationship between museums and communities, resulting in permanent, affordable, and authoritative collections, while simultaneously improving the museums??? international reputation and networking capabilities. By using the example of one of the nation???s non-indigenous communities, and drawing upon material obtained through the survey, and a catalogue containing photographs and lists of Greek textile collections found in the Powerhouse Museum (MAAS), Sydney, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Immigration Museum, Melbourne, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, as well as collections owned by private individuals, the thesis focuses on the role played by museums in constructing social cohesion and inclusiveness.

Full textAbstract:
The intention of this work was to examine the infra-structure of a medium-sized Greek textile manufacturing enterprise. The Organisation became a leading acrylic blanket producer at national level, as a result of the management's receptivity to transfer of the highest standards of technology and expertise. The business was geared to the quality end of the market and offered its customers a high added value range of products. At the initiation of the systems study, the problem was conceived as one of inadequate production planning and stock control procedures. The high customer service level policy was accomplished through substantial stockholding on the part Of the firm and resulted in inventories being the company's highest current assets component. A systems approach to the operations of the Organisation indicated problems of information discontinuity, while barriers of communication were caused by lack of clear objectives. Analysis of the existed procedures led to the creation of three new sub-systems: the production scheduling, the quality control and the marketing departments. Material and information closed-loop controls were established and job description systems were introduced. An internal management reporting system was designed to facilitate improved decision making - In the implementation stage the author concentrated on training the systems/users while operational difficulties were resolved during actual running. The project's objective was the development of an open system which would maintain dynamic equilibrium with its surrounding environment. Planning and control procedures made the internal sub-systems interactions controllable, but the external changes created difficulty. Growing recession and government austerity policies exercised considerable influence on the operations of the system/organisation. company viability was safeguarded, a make-to-order policy was Pursued and a new business structure was created. This work is considered to exemplify the Greek industrial sector and the difficulties which will be experienced in deploying modern management methods in Greek manufacturing industry.

Full textAbstract:
Den linjära Supply Chain modellen och fenomenet ‘Fast Fashion’ som idag karaktäriserar dagens textilmarknad är av ohållbar natur. För att utvärdera hur resurseffektiva de olika verksamheterna i försörjningskedjan är så skapade Carter och Ellram “avfallshierarkin” år 1998. Under 2008 uppdaterade Europaparlamentet och Europeiska Unionens Råd denna modell till det som idag refereras till som “avfallstrappan”. De olika stegen är utformade för att i en önskvärd ordning, minska mängden bortskaffat textilavfall. Ett steg mot en mer hållbar affärsmodell är implementeringen av en grön försörjningskedja (GSCM). De grundläggande förutsättningarna för att kunna använda avfallstrappan är att insamling och sortering av efter-konsument textilavfall (PtCTW) hanteras korrekt och effektivt. ‘ExtendedProducer Responsibility’ (EPR), innebär att företagen har ansvar för hantering av sitt PtCTW, vilket inkluderar insamlings- och sorteringsprocesser. Detta skapar en omvänd försörjningskedja, ‘reverse logistics’. Den omvända kedjan syftar till att skapa ett slutet materialflöde, vilket resulterar i noll avfall. För att kunna göra det måste nya hållbara återanvändnings- och återvinningsmetoder utvecklas. Undersökningen i denna studie syftar till att kartlägga ny teknik inom området för att få reda på huruvida användningen av dessa kan leda till minskad mängd bortskaffad PtCTW.The linear supply chain model and the phenomena of fast fashion that today characterizes the textile industry is unsustainable. To evaluate how resource-efficient the various activities in the supply chain management are Carter and Ellram created the Waste Hierarchy in 1998. In 2008 the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union updated this model to what is today referred to as the waste-staircase (“avfallstrappan”). The different steps are designed for how to, in a desirable order, reduce the amount of textile waste disposed. A step towards a more sustainable business model is the implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). The basic prerequisites for using the staircase is that collecting and sorting of post-consumer textile waste (PtCTW) is handled correctly and efficiently. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) entails companies to handle their products post consumer phase, including processes such as collection and sorting. This creates a reverse supply chain, ‘reverse logistics’. This reverse supply chain aims to create a closed material flow, resulting in zero waste. In order to do so, new sustainable reuse- and recycle methods needs to be developed. The survey made in this study aims to map new technologies within the area, in order to find out whether the use of these could result in reduced amount of disposed PtCTW.

Die Befragung „Ist-Stand der OP-Textilienversorgung in deutschen Krankenhäusern“, die eingebettet ist in das Forschungsvorhaben „Evaluierung von OP-Textilien nach hygienischen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Kriterien“, hat zum Ziel, den gegenwärtigen Stand der OP-Textilienversorgung zu erfassen. Für die Befragung, die sowohl web-basiert als auch postalisch im Zeitraum 11/2008 bis 02/2009 durchgeführt worden ist, wurden vorab alle Krankenhäuser und Kliniken in Deutschland kontaktiert, um den jeweiligen Ansprechpartner für die Beschaffung von OP-Textilien zu erhalten. Der Fragebogen gliedert sich in drei Teile: Abschnitt A: OP-Textilien mit den Unterabschnitten Allgemeines, Ausschreibung von OP-Textilien, OP-Mäntel, OP-Abdeckungen, OP-Kit-Packs, Ökonomische Analyse der OP-Textilienversorgung und Ökologische Bewertung der OP-Textilienversorgung; Abschnitt B: Umweltschutz im Krankenhaus und Abschnitt C: Angaben zum Krankenhaus. Zu den zentralen Ergebnissen der Befragung zählen, dass das Kriterium Versorgungssicherheit das wichtigste Kriterium bei der Ausschreibung ist, gefolgt von Zuverlässigkeit und Reinigungsqualität; dass sowohl Einweg-OP-Mäntel als auch -OP-Abdeckungen häufiger angewendet werden als Mehrweg-Textilien; dass der Tragekomfort der Mehrweg-Mäntel als deutlich besser eingestuft wird als der der Einweg-Mäntel. Ein ähnliches Ergebnis zeigt sich bei der Umweltfreundlichkeit von OP-Mänteln und OP-Abdeckungen. Weiterhin zeigte die Untersuchung, dass eine ökonomische Bewertung bisher häufiger vorgenommen wurde als eine ökologische Bewertung. Bei ökonomischen Analysen, die in den meisten Fällen durch ein krankenhausinternes Team durchgeführt wurden, wurden weitestgehend die Anschaffungskosten/ Miet- bzw. Leasingrate als Kriterium herangezogen. Im Rahmen der ökologischen Bewertung sind vor allem Kriterien wie schadstoffarmer Abfall, geringe Umweltbelastung und wenig schädliche Stoffe von Bedeutung. Insgesamt wird der Umweltschutz tendenziell als wichtig eingeschätzt, wobei die am häufigsten vertretenen Umweltschutzmaßnahmen die Beachtung von Umweltkriterien bei der Beschaffung, die/der Umweltbeauftragte/r und die Zertifizierung nach ISO 14001 sind.

El sector textil mundial, como se sabe, genera desperdicios a través de todos los procesos productivos, que, por lo general son manejados de manera inadecuada. Las empresas buscan implementar conciencia ambiental para que la producción se realice de manera eficiente y sostenible. Esta situación resulta de mayor impacto en las empresas textiles de menor envergadura, por ejemplo, las MYPES. Por ello, el presente artículo propone la aplicación de la filosofía Lean. Al respecto, se han realizado estudios que demuestran el impulso de esta filosofía al desarrollo Green, obteniendo resultados eficientes para las empresas. El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer un nuevo modelo Lean-Green, el cual está estructurado en seis fases: Fase 0 Formación del pensamiento ambiental, Fase 1 Estabilización de los flujos de valor, Fase 2 Identificación de los aspectos e impactos ambientales, Fase 3 Medir el flujo de valor ambiental, Fase 4 mejora de una corriente continua, Fase 5 mejora continua. La herramienta Lean que se implementará es el KAIZEN y, el modelo se validó en una empresa de confección textil, cuyos resultados implicaron un 25% de aumento en la producción y un 15% en la reducción del impacto ambiental.As is known, textile industry produce wastes through all the production process that usually are poor handled. Businesses try to implement environmental awareness to make the production efficient and sustainable. This have more impact on small textile businesses like MYPES. Thus, this article propose the application of the Lean philosophy. There have been studies that this philosophy helps to develop the Green with great results for the business. The aim of this article is to propose a new Lean-Green model structured in six steps: Phase 0 create an environmental way of thinking, Phase 1 stabilization of flow values, Phase 2 recognition of environmental aspects and impacts, Phase 3 measure the environmental value flux, Phase 4 improvement of a continuous flow, Phase 5 continuous development. The Lean tool to apply is the Kaizen and the model have been validated on a textile production business. The results of this shows a 25% increase of the production and a 15% decrease of environmental impact.

Full textAbstract:
Ce projet de recherche s'inscrit dans une démarche d'éco-conception de matériaux architecturés à fort potentiel acoustique. On s'intéresse en particulier dans ce travail de thèse à la description des phénomènes de dissipation et de propagation des ondes acoustiques dans un milieu fibreux par une approche multi-échelle et multi-physique. Dans cette étude, il s'agit de décrire les propriétés acoustiques du milieu fibreux à partir d'une description de la géométrie à l'échelle locale de milieux fibreux. Le milieu fibreux est constitué de fibres d'asclépiades, qui sont typiquement des fibres végétales adoptant la forme de longs cylindres. Pour traiter ce problème, la méthodologie employée consiste en quatre étapes principales : (i) caractérisation et modélisation de la géométrie du milieu fibreux; (ii) calcul des paramètres de transport et acoustiques du milieu fibreux reconstruit; (iii) validation expérimentale de propriétés de transport et acoustiques; (iv) évaluation des évolutions de propriétés de transport en fonction des paramètres de la géométrie à l'échelle locale de matériau. En particulier, un modèle isotrope spatialement stationnaire de lignes droites (processus de Poisson) et le tenseur d'orientation angulaire correspondant, constituent des outils de modélisation de la géométrie aléatoire du milieu fibreux permettant de représenter les principales caractéristiques susceptibles d'influencer ses propriétés de transport. Il s'agit ensuite de résoudre les principaux problèmes aux limites gouvernant le comportement acoustique à l'échelle supérieure en appliquant une technique classique d’homogénéisation numérique. On montre dans un premier temps que la méthode développée permet de prédire le comportement en absorption d'un milieu fibreux aléatoire en se basant uniquement sur la description des caractéristiques géométriques du matériau fibreux réel (porosité, rayon de fibres, distributions des orientations angulaires) sans coefficient d'ajustement, validations expérimentales à l'appui. Sur la base de ce travail de reconstruction tridimensionnel, on étudie ensuite systématiquement l'ensemble des phénomènes de transport d'intérêt sur une large gamme de porosité et d'orientations angulaires, de manière à produire des lois qui peuvent être appliquées par la suite par d'autres utilisateurs sur une large gamme de milieux fibreux réels. Finalement, on examine plus particulièrement l'hypothèse classique selon laquelle un milieu fibreux peut être décrit à partir de la moyenne arithmétique du diamètre de ses fibres, afin de cerner les limites de cette approche et ses conditions d'applicabilité lorsque le milieu fibreux présente une distribution étendue de diamètres de fibres ou bimodaleThis research project was inscribed in an eco-conception approach for architected materials with high acoustic potential. In this research project, we are interested particularly in the description of dissipation and propagation phenomena of sound waves in a fibrous medium by using multi-scale and multi-physics approaches. In this work, we determine the transport and acoustic properties of fiber media based on the description of geometry at their local scale. The fiber media consist of asclepias fibers which are typically vegetable fibers adopting a long hollow cylinder. To solve this problem, the methodology consists of 4 principle steps below: (i) Characterize and model the geometry of fiber medium; (ii) Calculate the transport parameters and acoustic properties of reconstructed fiber medium; (iii) Validate the results of the transport and acoustic properties by comparing with experimental measurements; (iv) Evaluate the evolution of transport parameters as function of geometrical parameters at the local scale. For the geometrical reconstruction, isotropic model of straight lines (Poisson processes) and angular orientation tensor were used. They allow representing of principle characteristics influencing the transport and acoustic properties of material at macroscopic scale. The resolutions of principal problems governing the acoustic behavior at the macroscopic scale were then performed by using the numerical homogenization method. We firstly demonstrate that the developed method allows predicting of absorption behavior of a random fiber medium based on only their geometrical characteristic description (porosity, fibers radius, angular orientation distribution) without adjustment coefficient, and the validated by experimental measurements. Secondly, based on the reconstruction method, one can systematically study the whole transport phenomena on a wide range of porosity and angular orientation in order to provide the laws which can be applied by other user on a wide range of real fiber media. Finally, we verify more particular the hypothesis that a fibrous material can be described by a mean diameter value of their fibers, this work allows identifying the limit of this approach and their application conditions when a fiber medium is constituted of a large distribution of fiber diameters or bimodal

The aim of the thesis is to revive the former textile factory complex, which is located on a unique place - on the island between the river Svitava and the race. The main idea is to make the area accessible and to use its potential, focusing primarily on the link of history, identity of the place, quality public space and the functional content of the whole area. The concept of the whole work is the planning in time and the gradual phase of integrating brownfields back into the lives of not only local Brno citizens. The island in Obřany could thus become the heart of this city district, a meeting place with a rich cultural life, a space for relaxation, activities and leisure activities close to nature in a charming environment with a touch of Brno's industrial history.

L’objet de cette thèse est de déterminer l’effet des normes environnementales sur lecommerce du Textile-Habillement et d’analyser les stratégies adoptées dans ce cadre par lespays en développement, plus particulièrement, par la Tunisie. Les exigencesenvironnementales, volontaires et obligatoires, ont touché essentiellement la branche textile etpourraient se substituer aux instruments traditionnels de protectionnisme après ledémantèlement de l’Accord multifibres en 2005. Les résultats des analyses statistiques etéconométriques montrent un effet positif de la certification environnementale sur lesexportations de certains produits d’habillement vers le marché européen signalant ainsil’importance de cette nouvelle tendance. L’étude est affinée autour du positionnement desfirmes tunisiennes sur la chaîne globale de valeur du Textile-Habillement et des stratégiesadoptées afin de faire face à ces normes environnementales. Nos résultats montrent ladifficulté des firmes tunisiennes à réussir une remontée industrielle. Les exigencesenvironnementales inhibent leur passage de la sous-traitance à la co-traitance. Ellesaccentuent également leur dépendance envers les fournisseurs européens de textile. La thèses’interroge en dernier lieu sur l’intérêt du programme « Tunisian Ecolabel » et sur lesdéterminants de l’adoption de la certification environnementale par les firmes tunisiennes duTextile-HabillementThe purpose of this thesis is to determine the effect of environmental standards on trade inTextile-Apparel products and to analyse the strategies adopted by developing countries, withspecific reference to Tunisia. Voluntary and mandatory environmental requirements havemainly affected the textile industry and could replace traditional instruments of protectionismafter the dismantling of the Multifibre Arrangement in 2005. The result of statistical andeconometric analysis indicates a positive effect of environmental certification on exports ofcertain apparel products towards the European market denoting the importance of this newtrend. The study is focused upon the Tunisian firms’ positioning in the global value chain ofTextile-Apparel industry and strategies which they will have to implement in order to be ableto meet environmental standards. Our results show the difficulty of Tunisian firms to besuccessful in industrial upgrading. Environmental requirements heighten their dependence onEuropean suppliers of the textile industry and prevent the transition from the originalequipment assembly to original Equipment Manufacturer. Lastly, the thesis discusses theeffectiveness of “Tunisian Ecolabel” program and the determinants for adopting theenvironmental certifications by Tunisian firms’ of the Textile-Apparel industry

"Green Supply Chain Management Enablers and Barriers in Textile Supply Chains : What factors enable or aggravate the implementation of a GSCM strategy for textile and fashion companies?" Thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-10247.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose of this paper: The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the factors that enable or aggravate the implementation of a GSCM strategy for textile and fashion companies. Moreover, it shall be investigated how textile and fashion companies perceive their incentives of implementing GSCM and what their organizational responses regarding the perceived barriers and enablers look like. Design/methodology/approach: The report combines a literature study on previous research in the field of supply chain management, Green Supply Chain Management and the drivers and barriers of implementing a GSCM strategy, with an empirical study consisting of an online survey, a semi-structured interview and two case studies that are based on literature review. In order to analyze the survey results, a method to calculate a company’s GSCM incentive score has been developed. Findings: The factors that have been identified as the strongest or most important ones by many companies of the survey, as well as the interviewee and the case studies are supplier collaboration, the lack of supplier commitment, customer demand for more sustainability, customer desire for lower prices and top management commitment. Some companies also perceived the alignment of their company’s strategy as strong GSCM enabler. However, the calculation shows that the overall incentive score of most participants is in the neutral level; meaning that they in total perceive neither significant incentives nor barriers to implement GSCM. With mostly internal enablers and external barriers, more than half of the survey participants can be categorized as Agenda Setters. Research limitations: Due to the low response rate, the sample size of this study is very small. Moreover, the results strongly depend on the personal opinion and experiences of the interviewee and the individual situations of the companies. This means that the results of this study give an indication, but are not generalizable. Therefore, another study with a different sampling method and a larger sample size is needed. Practical implications: The outcomes of this study show that GSCM concerns every aspect of a supply chain. A company that wants to engage in GSCM needs to have good relationships with and control over its suppliers in order to ensure that they fulfill the sustainability requirements, and deal with pressure from NGOs. Additionally, the company needs to balance customer demands for low prices and sustainability, expect some (one-time) investments and sacrifice short-term profit in order to ensure sustainable production. Originality/value: This report identifies the most important GSCM barriers and enablers for textile companies. By evaluating how companies within the textile and fashion sector perceive their incentives of implementing GSCM and investigating their organizational behavior towards barriers and enablers of GSCM, this study indicates what the current situation in the textile industry looks like; shows where improvements are necessary and gives insight for companies that aim to engage in green practices. The development of the so called GSCM incentive score; a method to calculate a company’s perceived incentives to implement a GSCM strategy, can be useful for future studies within this field.

Harper, Caroline. "The social life of the green Mong textile : commercialisation and alternative discourses of value in Thailand." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1992. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/29407/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how material culture, specifically the Mong textile, is used in society and how an analysis of these uses can inform us of social processes. Discussion takes a contextual approach whereby the object is analysed at different points in its social life, ultimately focusing on alternative discourses of value and the conflict generated between different readings and interpretations. After an introduction to the Mong textile (Chapter One) and the fieldwork community (Chapter Two) the textile is placed in village context. Through a radical analysis of women's position in the village (Chapter Three & Four) and through an examination of the textile in Mong myth and cultural use, the textile is shown to play an important role in legitimising social relations and reproducing social institutions (Chapter Five). Changes in production (Chapter Six) are part of a new commercial trade and in this form the Mong textile provides an income for Mong and specifically for women, who are shown to adopt new patterns of residence and productive relations (Chapter Seven). Varying uses and values of the textile reveal conflict, a result of differences in exposures and knowledge acquired by the Mong. One effect of conflict is fragmentation from within Mong society (Chapter Eight). The social life of the Mong textile outside of the Mong village supports a stereotypic image that is contributing to Mong assimilation in Thailand (Chapter Nine). Although a subordinate group, within Thailand the Mong are not seen to be totally dominated and the Mong textile thus becomes the focus of a battle between the Mong statement and an alternative ideology which attempts to appropriate the symbols of their material culture for a rival interpretation (Chapter Ten). In conclusion it is suggested that we should continue to reassess the place of material culture within anthropological study and learn from the different contexts of production and consumption, and the constantly changing relationship between subject and object.

Full textAbstract:
Hållbart mode ansågs länge tråkigt och komplicerat, i rak motsats till modeveckornas flärd. Numera har begreppet blivit moderiktigt och spelar en central roll i det paradigmskifte modevärlden står inför tack vare ny teknik och digitala plattformer. I en reportageserie har jag undersökt modeindustrins hållbarhet ur tre olika perspektiv; produktion, design och framtidsspaning. Vad är innebär begreppet hållbart mode? Hur ser industrin ut i dagsläget? Vad kan en på individnivå göra? Och hur ser framtidens mode ut? Genom att förankra resonemang och frågeställningar i tidigare forskning och litteratur har jag djupgående granskat ämnet för att kunna besvara frågan om en industri som bygger på konsumtion och en växelverkan av trender kan bli hållbar? Eller är hållbart mode en paradox. Reportageserien genomfördes i New Delhi, Stockholm och Borås i form av kvalitativa intervjuer med experter och ett wallraffande. I reflektionsrapporten förankras det journalistiska arbetet i etiska diskussioner kring journalistisk metod, genre, etnocentrism och källkritik. Syftet med studien var att lyfta fram hållbarhetsproblematiken och ge en mångfacetterad och realistisk bild över modeindustrins hållbarhetsutveckling, både på materiell- och humanitär nivå.

Full textAbstract:
En ökad textilkonsumtion har lett fram till en problematik kring miljöpåverkan på grund av den ökade mängden använda textilier som ska hanteras efter produkternas död. För att ta till vara på de dyrbara resurser som har använts för att skapa textila produkter, har intresset för återvinning av textila fibrer ökat. Forskningen inom återvinning av bomullsfibrer har däremot inte kommit tillräckligt långt för att produktion av återvunna fibrer av hög kvalité ska kunna göras storskalig. Detta speciellt eftersom problem med exempelvis blandfibrer och separerbarhet försvårar arbetet. Det finns förändringar som kan göras av modeföretag i produktutvecklingsfasen redan idag, vilka kan underlätta återvinningsprocessen och syftar till att skapa ett slutet system i framtiden. Därför finns det ett behov av att identifiera vilka interna problem som kan hindra en produktutveckling av återvinningsbara plagg, samt vilka förändringar som kan behöva ske av ett modeföretags externa relationer för att kunna införa denna produktutveckling. Genom djupintervjuer som utfördes med sju anställda vid fallföretaget Lindexs design- och inköpsavdelning har det klargjorts hur företagets nuvarande arbetsprocesser ser ut, samt vilka hinder som finns och vilka förändringar som behövs inom produktutvecklingen för att underlätta återvinningen. Detta gjordes genom att olika produktgrupper studerades utifrån tre utvalda scenarion som alla skulle underlätta återvinningen av plaggen. Resultatet visade att det finns tillräckliga resurser för att många anpassningar skulle kunna ske redan idag, dock inte i någon större utsträckning på grund av begränsningar inom designen. Ett stort hinder är det bristfälliga kommunikationsflödet, internt inom fallföretaget och externt mellan huvudkontor och leverantörer. Viktiga resurser som har identifierats och som underlättar införandet av förändringar är däremot en drivkraftig leverantörsbas och de långsiktiga relationerna till leverantörerna. Ett begränsat synfält av företagets nätverk har dessutom identifierats hos design- och inköpsavdelningen vid fallföretaget. Slutsatsen är därför att detta skulle behöva vidgas för att implementera förändringar. Även kommunikationsflödet bör nyttjas fullt ut för att de anställda ska kunna arbeta mot uppsatta mål, vilket ställer krav på ledningen att arbeta fram riktlinjer för hur en produktutveckling för återvinningsbara plagg ska genomföras. För att vissa förändringar i riktning mot återvinningsbara plagg ska kunna genomföras, krävs dessutom att modeföretag samarbetar för att driva frågan.Trots att återvinningsbara plagg är möjliga att producera i dagsläget, krävs fortfarande vidare studier angående hur detta är tekniskt möjligt i storskalig produktion, samt hur kvalitetsproblemen förknippade med återvunna fibrer ska hanteras.An increase in the consumption of textiles has created a greater environmental impact due to the increased amount of textiles that need to be processed when the product reaches end of life. To ensure the continued use of the precious resources used to create textiles the interest in fiber recycling has increased. The research in recycling cotton fibers is however limited and does not yet allow for production of high quality fibers in a large scale, especially due to the problem with separating material with more than one fiber type. There are changes that fashion companies can make today in the product development stage that will facilitate the recycling process and lead to the implementation of a closed loop system in the future. There is a need to identify the internal problems that can prevent development of recyclable clothing, as well as the changes necessary in a fashion company's external relationships to implement this type of product development. In depth interviews were conducted with seven employees working in the design and purchasing department of the case study Lindex. Through the interviews the employees clarified how the design and purchasing processes in the company are now as well as what barriers and changes may be necessary for product development of recyclable clothing. Three different product groups were studied through scenarios that would facilitate recycling of clothing. The results of the study shows that the company has the resources to implement many of these changes today, however not to a large extent throughout the collections due to design limitations. A large barrier is the inadequate communications flow internally in the case company and externally between the head office and suppliers. Important resources that have been identified in the study that will ease the implementation of changes are however a driven supplier network and the long term relationships to these suppliers. A limited view of the company's network has also been identified within the design and purchasing department of the case company. In conclusion this would need to be widened to allow for implementation of changes. Even the communications flow should be fully utilised to allow the employees to work towards the companys goals, which places demands on management to define guidelines for product development of recyclable clothing. To be able to implement certain changes that would allow for production of recyclable products, a collaboration between fashion companies would be required. Despite the fact that recyclable garments are possible to produce today, further research is needed to develop the technology to produce garments from recycled fibers in a large scale, as well as to address the quality problems associated with recycled fibers. The language of this report is Swedish.

Full textAbstract:
Background: This study describes the incentives and barriers of public procurement ofcellulose-based and locally produced textiles in the Swedish healthcaresector governed by the county councils and regions. The size of the publicprocurement market is substantial which makes it imperative to analyse theprocurement decisions taken by this large customer from asustainability perspective. To understand these decisions better the publicprocurement is also analysed from an organisational perspective discussingpressures from global, regional and local stakeholders and governingauthorities.Methods: Empirical and primary data was collected from three semi-structuredinterviews with procurement officers, strategic buyers and heads ofprocurement departments in three county councils and regions in Sweden.The qualitative data was supplemented with quantitative data from a surveytargeting the additional 18 county councils and regions in Sweden. All 21county councils and regions in Sweden participated in or responded to theinterview and survey study. Six (33 %) complete responses were submitted,while five (28 %) surveys were partially responded to. Seven (39 %) countycouncils and regions did not participate in the study. The quantitative surveydata was analysed through the Fisher’s exact test and a thematic analysis wasapplied jointly on the interview and survey data due to the identicalinterview and survey questions.Results: The four themes found in the empirical data were concluded to be thedecision-making in these procurement processes being affected by manystakeholders, a high trust on suppliers for information updates andsustainable responsibility, an existing knowledge gap on cellulose-based andlocally produced textiles and the challenges and opportunities surroundingthe regulation of sustainability in the contract terms in the publicprocurement of textiles. The procurement officials being in a leading or nonleadingposition did not show any statistically significant effect on theperception of the clarity in the relevant political directives and how thisinfluences the possibility to take sustainable action in the procurementprocess, nor on whether the short-term (lowest) price has a higher prioritythan the long-term (e.g. long-term societal and environmental costs) in theprocurement of textiles.Conclusion: The sustainable public procurement of textiles within the Swedish healthcaresector governed by the county councils and regions is characterized by ahigh level of organisational complexity including many global, regional andlocal stakeholders. The governing authorities as well as the procuringorganizations and suppliers show interest in implementing sustainableprocurement processes which is however aggravated by static contract terms,limited knowledge on novel textile materials and the perceived costs relatedto the procurement.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa rapport är att undersöka konsumenters förståelse, trovärdighet och attityd gentemot modeföretags gröna marknadsföring på Instagram. Utifrån det har vi förhoppningar om att våra resultat skall kunna bidra med insikter och kunskap om hur modeföretag kan legitimera sig på Instagram för att öka sin tillförlitlighet från ett konsumentperspektiv. Rapportens empiriska material samlades in genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Respondenterna delades in i två kategorier: respondenter med textil kännedom samt respondenter utan textil kännedom. Indelningarna gjordes av anledning att erhålla åsikter och tankar från två olika perspektiv. Sammanlagt utfördes 16 intervjuer som gav oss nödvändig data för vidare analys. Datan analyserades utifrån en analysmodell som utgick från vårt teoretiska ramverk. De aktuella modeföretagen i rapporten var slow fashion företaget FilippaK och fast fashion företaget Gina Tricot. Resultaten från rapporten påvisar att respondenternas trovärdighet samt attityd gentemot modeföretag stärks om den gröna marknadsföringen är tydlig och lättförståelig. Håller den gröna marknadsföringen en allmän grundnivå indikerar det på att fler individer förstår innebörden och inte endast de med bakgrundskunskap inom textil- och modeindustrin. Modeföretag bör således ta i beaktning hur det gröna språket i marknadsföringen kan bli mer tydligt och lättförståeligt för att öka trovärdigheten samt attityden från konsumenter.The purpose of this qualitative report is to examine consumers' understanding, credibility and attitude towards fashion companies green marketing on Instagram. Based on this, we hope that our results will contribute with insights and knowledge about how fashion companies can legitimize themselves on Instagram to increase their reliability from a consumer perspective. The empirical material of the report was collected through semi-structured interviews. The respondents were divided into two categories: respondents with textile knowledge and respondents without textile knowledge. The divisions were made in order to obtain opinions and thoughts from two different perspectives. A total of 16 interviews were conducted which gave us the necessary data for further analysis. The data were analyzed from an analysis model based on our theoretical framework. The current fashion companies in the report were the slow fashion company Filippa K and the fast fashion company Gina Tricot. The results from the report show that the respondents credibility and attitude towards the companies is strengthened if the green marketing is clear and easy to understand. If green marketing maintains a general basic level, it indicates that more individuals understand the meaning and not only those with background knowledge in the textile and fashion industry. Fashion companies should therefore take into account how the green language in marketing can become clearer and easier to understand in order to increase the credibility and attitude of consumers.

Full textAbstract:
Marknaden och efterfrågan för begagnade varor ökar för varje år. Däremot har detta inte lett till ett minskat uttag av planetens resurser. Många produkter har potential att tas omhand på ett mer resurseffektivt sätt än i dagsläget. Textilier och elektronikprodukter är produkter som har hög klimatbelastning. Dessa produkter saknar idag ett lättillgängligt system för återanvändning som skulle bidra till minskad nyproduktion. I takt med befolkningsökning och förtätning av Stockholm krävs nya koncept för återvinning. För en positiv utveckling är det avgörande med lättillgängliga och allmänt kända insamlingssystem. Detta examensarbete har utgångspunkt från FN:s tre hållbarhetsmål: ekologisk, social och ekonomisk hållbarhet och ska resultera i en konceptidé och en byggnad där konceptet tillämpas. Konceptet ska ge förslag utifrån Naturvårdsverkets och Stockholm stads rapporter och visa på hur återvinning kan integreras i bebyggda miljöer och svara mot dagens behov och samtidigt skapa en social och ekonomisk vinst. Arbetet resulterade i förslagshandlingar genom litteraturstudier och projektering för en byggnad belägen i Rinkeby, en stadsdel i nordvästra Stockholm. Byggnaden projekteras bland annat utifrån verksamhetens ytbehov, Rinkebys behov och förutsättningar. Byggnadens estetik har formats utifrån idéen om en tydlig uppdelning mellan verksamheter som förstärks med fasadens utformning. Utöver detta ska byggnaden tillföra någonting positivt till sin omgivning, med till exempel växtväggar och cykelstation med lånecyklar. Projektet visar på goda kvalitéer att en konceptbyggnad kan berika ett område med ekologisk, social och ekonomisk hållbarhet.The market and demand for used products is increasing year on year. However, this has not decreased our usage of the planet’s resources. Many products have the potential to be recycled more effectively. The production of textiles and electronics has a significant negative effect on the climate. Such products lack an easy and intuitive system for reuse, which would reduce such negative effects. There is a demand for new concepts regarding reuse brought about by the increasing population and density of Stockholm. Demands for easy access and public knowledge about recycling are crucial for progress. This report will focus on the sustainable goals established by the UN: ecological, social and economic sustainability and will propose a conceptual idea and a building where the concept will be applied. The concept will propose suggestions based on reports by Naturvårdsverket (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) and the City of Stockholm, to show how recycling can be integrated into urban areas. This will provide a solution to today’s needs and also facilitate social and economic growth in the area. The project has resulted in draft documents through literature studies and planning for a building situated in Rinkeby, a suburb northwest outside of Stockholm. The building will be planned in line with the building’s operational area requirements and pre-requisites. The building’s aesthetics are drawn from the idea of a pronounced separation between the operations, which will be amplified by the design of the facades. Additionally, it will contribute to the quality of its environment with the use of green walls and a bicycle station. The project shows of positive qualities that a conceptual building can enrich a neighborhood through ecological, social and economical sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
Jag har valt att kalla mitt projekt ”Whereabouts”, vilket betyder plats eller tillhåll. Och det är just en plats som jag försöker skapa i mitt examensarbete. Arbetet handlar om textil i rum och hur jag kan använda mig utav textil för att bygga upp en rumslighet. Fokus ligger på offentlig miljö, och hur jag i en sådan miljö kan skapa en plats för avskildhet och lugn. Lite som ett gömställe att fly till när omgivningen blir stökig och orolig. Det hela resulterar i en rumsavdelare i form av ett textilt tak och golv.Kärnan i projektet är att utforska hur jag kan skapa rumslighet, eller snarare illusionen av rumslighet då jag inte använder mig av några väggar som stänger av flödet i rummet. Istället undersöker jag om det skapas en känsla av att kliva in i ett annat område eller rum genom att föra in ett extra, lägre tak över ett begränsat område. Om det skapas en annan atmosfär under taket. För att ytterligare bygga på detta, arbetar jag även fram ett golv, som fungerar som en avspegling av taket och därmed binder ihop golv och tak.“Whereabouts” is a hideaway, a place to escape to when the surroundings are noisy and unrestful. With a room divider, in the form of a textile ceiling and floor, a place of serenity is created in the public room. Inspired by the spatiality created underneath the tree crown and of the light that seeps through the leaves, “Whereabouts” forms a more natural atmosphere in an otherwise artificial context.The work revolves around the use of textiles in interiors and how I can create spatiality, or rather the illusion of it, not using any walls. Instead, I examine whether the use of a ceiling and floor can create a different atmosphere and a sense of space.Program: Textildesignutbildningen

Full textAbstract:
Denna forskningsstudie är en kvalitativt undersökande studie av svenska modeföretags hållbarhetskommunikation utifrån en utvärdering av konsultmodellen The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. Studien ämnar att undersöka hur The Seven Sins of Greenwashing fungerar som ett verktyg och ramverk för att analysera svenska modeföretags hållbarhetskommunikation samt om greenwashing förekommer i deras gröna marknadsföring med hjälp av The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. Studiens teoretiska perspektiv ämnar att på ett holistiskt sätt bemöta de forskningsbegrepp och studier som relaterar till greenwashing e.g legitimitet, isomorphism och decoupling. Föreliggande studie har valt att flytta fokus från kunden och kundens relation till hållbarhet för att istället kritiskt granska och analysera modevarumärkens gröna marknadsföring och kommunikation av modeprodukter. Därmed utgör organisationer studiens analytiska perspektiv, eftersom att allt fler modeföretag använder sig av grön marknadsföring som ett sätt att visa sig hållbara gentemot konsumenter. Vi har identifierat ett forskningsgap för kvalitativa studier som undersöker greenwashing utifrån ett organisatoriskt perspektiv, och med användandet av The Seven Sins of Greenwashing som ett analytiskt redskap inom modebranschen. Studiens syfte är att granska information och kommunikation som görs genom modeföretags hållbarhetsrapporter utifrån modellen The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. För att studera undersökningens syfte ställs följande frågeställningar; (RQ1) Hur fungerar The Seven Sins of Greenwashing som en teoretisk modell för att analysera stora kommersiella företag inom modebranschen? och (RQ2) Hur uttrycker svenska modeföretag sitt hållbarhetsarbete genom deras hållbarhetsrapporter? Förekommer greenwashing utifrån modellen The Seven Sins of Greenwashing? För att besvara studiens syfte och forskningsfrågor har studien utgått ifrån kvalitativa innehållsanalytiska metoder och tematisk kodning utifrån ett på förhand givet kategoriseringssystem av innehållsliga områden kopplade till The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. Studiens resultat kunde identifiera greenwashing i företagens hållbarhetsrapportering utifrån The Seven Sins of Greenwashing främst genom otydliga, vaga och irrelevanta påståenden som användes i hållbarhetsrapporterna för att uttrycka och beskriva företagens hållbarhetsarbete. Slutsatser dras om att TerraChoice (2009) konsultmodell The Seven Sins of Greenwashing fungerar som ett analytiskt verktyg och ramverk för denna typ av akademiska studier. Slutsatser kan också dras, genom användandet av modellen, att samtliga företag som ligger till grund för undersökningen på olika vis greenwashar i sin hållbarhetskommunikation.This research study is a qualitatively investigative study of Swedish fashion companies sustainability communication based on an evaluation of the consulting model The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. The study aims to investigate how The Seven Sins of Greenwashing works as a tool and framework for analyzing Swedish fashion companies sustainability communication and whether greenwashing occurs in their green marketing with the help of The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. The theoretical perspective of the study aims to respond in a holistic way to the research concepts and studies that relate to greenwashing, e.g legitimacy, isomorphism and decoupling. In our study, we have chosen to shift the focus from the customer and the customer's relationship to sustainability to instead critically examine and analyze the fashion brands' green marketing and communication of fashion products. Thus, organizations constitute our analytical perspective, as more and more fashion companies use green marketing as a way to prove themselves sustainable towards consumers. We have identified a research gap for qualitative studies that examines greenwashing from an organizational perspective, and with the use of The Seven Sins of Greenwashing as an analytical tool within the fashion industry. The purpose of the study is to examine information and communication made through fashion companies sustainability reports based on the model The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. To study the purpose of this study the following questions are asked; (RQ1) How does The Seven Sins of Greenwashing work as a theoretical model for analyzing large commercial companies within the fashion industry? and(RQ2) How do Swedish fashion companies express their sustainability work through their sustainability reports? Does greenwashing occur based on the model The Seven Sins of Greenwashing? We have addressed the study's purpose and research questions with qualitative content analytical methods and thematic coding based on a pre-given categorization system of content areas linked to The Seven Sins of Greenwashing. The results of the study were able to identify greenwashing in the companies sustainability reporting based on The Seven Sins of Greenwashing mainly through unclear, vague and irrelevant statements that were used in the sustainability reports to express and describe the companies sustainability work. Conclusions are drawn that TerraChoice (2009) consulting model The Seven Sins of Greenwashing serves as an analytical tool and framework for this type of academic study. Conclusions can also be drawn, through the use of the model, that all companies that form the basis of this study in different ways greenwash in their sustainability communication.

"Supercritical carbon dioxide as a green media for simultaneous dyeing and functionalisation : A study on disperse dyeing and silicone functionalisation for water repellency of polyester fabric." Thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-21947.
Full textAbstract:
Textile processing methods such as conventional exhaustion dyeing, pre-treatments and printing consume high amounts of water and use partly toxic and hazardous chemicals which are non-degradable. These chemicals (e.g. excess amount of dye, additives and catalysts) remain partially in the waste-water which is drained out and ends up polluting the environment. The supercritical carbon dioxide dyeing technology presents an eco-friendly and water-free method with reduced use of chemicals and energy. The benefits of such technology are currently not overcoming the relative high investment costs which impede its full implementation into the textile industry. This study presents an approach to extent the application of the eco-friendly supercritical carbon dioxide technology. It combines the well-studied supercritical carbon dioxide dyeing process for polyester with the functionalisation process to obtain water repellent surface properties. As water repellent (substance) environmentally benign silicones are used. Results showed that the simultaneous dyeing and functionalisation process was feasible assessed by the compatibility of the dye and silicone in the system. Silicone and dye did not interfere in each other’s functionality (colour strength and water contact angle). Further the process temperature and silicone molecular weight showed no influence on the colour strength of the fabric whereas the water contact angle (water repellence) increased with increasing temperature. The resulting polyester fabric showed acceptable colour strength yet did not obtain sufficient water repellent properties despite the increase in water contact angle of the treated samples to the untreated reference sample. The poor water repellence is suggested to be caused by the hydrophobic functional groups of the silicones oriented towards each other rather than toward the outer fabric surface. Overall the thesis is promoting research which combines eco-friendly technologies including environmental benign chemicals for the textile industry. Silicones are widely used in textile processing not only as water repellents, but also as anti-foaming agents, lubricants and softeners. Therefore a water-free and eco-friendly application method can benefit a wide range of finishing processes.

Full textAbstract:
A contaminação ambiental causada pelo setor têxtil apresenta um especial destaque, devido aos grandes volumes de efluentes gerados. Os tratamentos biológicos mais utilizados pelas indústrias têxteis são o lodo ativado e biofiltros, ambos com elevado custo financeiro para as indústrias, com produtos químicos e necessidade de destinação de lodo. O presente trabalho estudou a viabilidade de tratamento de efluente de indústria têxtil por MBBR “Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor” (Reator Biológico com Leito Móvel). Este processo concilia os benefícios de tratamentos antes mencionados e ao mesmo tempo reduz as características indesejáveis de elevada geração de lodo, tempo de detenção hidráulica e perda de sólidos. O efluente foi caracterizado quanto à DQO, DBO5, área espectral, sólidos suspensos totais, sólidos suspensos voláteis e toxicidade antes e após o tratamento. O tratamento do efluente ocorreu em diferentes cargas orgânicas volumétricas, de 0,3gDQO/L.d até 9,0g DQO/L.d com 4 estágios: adaptação (0,3gDQO/L.d) e outros 3 estágios (1,2gDQO/L.d, 3,0gDQO/L.d e 9,0gDQO/L.d). Este reator foi operado por 107 dias, alcançando remoções de 65% de DQO, 94% de DBO5, 58% de área espectral, 82% de SST e 87% de toxicidade. Resultados que foram avaliados pela ANOVA, com teste Tukey com 0,05 de significância. A cinética calculada do processo apresentou consumo especifico máximo de substrato de 0,027d-1, compatível a tratamentos biológicos de efluente com conteúdo recalcitrante. Através dessas análises foi verificado que os melhores resultados de remoção foram atingidos quando o reator foi operado em COVs menores.The environment contamination caused by the textile sector has a special meaning due to volumes of wastewater. The biological treatments most commonly used by textile industries are biofilters and activated sludge, both with a high financial cost for industries with chemicals products and the need for sludge disposal. This work studied the viability of treatment of textile effluent´s by MBBR "Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor". This process combines the benefits of treatments mentioned above and at the same time reduces undesirable characteristics of high sludge generation, hydraulic retention time and solids loss. The effluent was characterized as COD, BOD5, spectral area, total suspended solids, volatile suspended solids and toxicity before and after treatment. The treatment of the effluent occurred in different organic loading rates from 0.3 gCOD/L.d up to 9.0 g COD/L.d with 4 stages: adaptation 0.3gCOD/L.d and others 3 stages 1.2gCOD/L, 3.0 gCOD/L and 9.0gCOD/L.d. This reactor was operated for 107 days, reaching 65% removal of COD, 94% of BOD5, 58% of spectral area, 82% of TSS and 87% of toxicity. The results were evaluated by ANOVA with Tukey's test at 0.05 significance level. The calculated kinetics of the process presented consumption specific maximum of substrate of 0,027d-1, compatible with biological treatment effluent with recalcitrant content. Through these analyzes it was verified that the best removing results were achieved when the reactor was operated at lower OLRs.

Full textAbstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhDPersistent organic pollutants (POPs) are very tenacious wastewater contaminants with negative impact on the ecosystem. The two major sources of POPs are wastewater from textile industries and pharmaceutical industries. They are known for their recalcitrance and circumvention of nearly all the known wastewater treatment procedures. However, the wastewater treatment methods which applied advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are documented for their successful remediation of POPs. AOPs are a group of water treatment technologies which is centered on the generation of OH radicals for the purpose of oxidizing recalcitrant organic contaminants content of wastewater to their inert end products. Circumvention of the reported demerits of AOPs such as low degradation efficiency, generation of toxic intermediates, massive sludge production, high energy expenditure and operational cost can be done through the application of the combined AOPs in the wastewater treatment procedure. The resultant mineralisation of the POPs content of wastewater is due to the synergistic effect of the OH radicals produced in the combined AOPs. Hydrodynamic cavitation is the application of the pressure variation in a liquid flowing through the venturi or orifice plates. This results in generation, growth, implosion and subsequent production of OH radicals in the liquid matrix. The generated OH radical in the jet loop hydrodynamic cavitation was applied as a form of advanced oxidation process in combination with hydrogen peroxide, iron (II) oxides or the synthesized green nano zero valent iron (gnZVI) for the treatment of simulated textile and pharmaceutical wastewater.

In this work the green coconut mesocarp was used as adsorbent towards two textile dyes: Turquoise Remazol and Blue Remazol. The adsorbent was triturated, washed several times with water for extraction of soluble matter, dried in oven and sieved to obtain particle size between 0.088 and 0.177 mm. Determinations of C/H/N content were performed and the obtained results were: 45.20, 6.24 and 0.74%, respectively. The study of the thermal stability showed that adsorbent is mainly affected up to 200 °C. The infrared and 13C RMN spectra allowed assigning unambiguously vibrational bands the chemical shift characteristics of lignocellulosic materials. According to X-ray and micrographies techniques the adsorbent has an amorphous and irregular structure. The most of the pores diameter values are around 10 to 20 μm, meaning that it can be classified as a macroporous material. The pHzpc of the mesocarp was estimated in 4.1, and the best removal efficiency and uptake were reached at pH 2.0 for both dyes. The kinetic studies were performed at different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 oC) , and the best observed uptake results were 91.95%, at 50 ºC, for the Turquoise Remazol, and 97.12%, at 10 ºC, for the Blue Remazol. The best kinetic model that fit well with all the experimental results was the pseudo-second order model (R2 > 0.999), and the observed average contact time for the systems reach the equilibrium was 90 min. The graphic model of adsorption intraparticular presented three lineal segments, indicating that in the adsorption of these dyes three processes are involved: external diffusion or superficial interaction adsorbent/adsorbate, diffusion of the adsorbate into the pores of the adsorbent and interaction of the adsorvate with the active sites inside the pores. The adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir´s model, and the maximum adsorption values varied between 49.27 to 60.25 mg/g (Turquoise Remazol) and 84.75 to 80.64 mg/g (Blue Remazol) at the temperature interval from 10 to 50 ºC. The thermodynamic parameters confirmed the spontaneity for the two processes of adsorption being endothermic with entropy increase for the Turquoise Remazol and exothermic with entropy increase for the Blue Remazol. The dessorption of the dyes were accomplished in alkaline medium (pH 8,0), and the recovered amounts dyes were of 41.5% (turquoise remazol) and 52.5%, for an equilibrium time of 90 minutes.
Neste trabalho o mesocarpo de coco verde foi utilizado como adsorvente para os dois corantes têxteis: Turquesa Remazol e Azul Remazol. O adsorvente foi triturado, submetido à diversas lavagens para extração de matéria solúvel em água, secado e peneirado obtendo uma granulometria entre 0,088 a 0,177 mm. Teores de microanálise determinaram % de C, H e N sendo iguais a 45,20; 6,24 e 0,74 %, respectivamente. Estudos de estabilidade térmica do adsorvente mostraram que este se mantém inalterado até 200 °C. As principais freqüências vibracionais apresentaram bandas características de materiais lignocelulósicos. A técnica de raios-X determinou um caráter amorfo, e as micrografias mostraram que a superfície do material apresenta morfologia irregular, com diâmetros de poros entre 10-20 μm e uma estrutura macroporosa. O espectro de RMN de 13C é característico de materiais celulósicos. O pHzpc do mesocarpo foi estimado em 4,1, sendo observado uma melhor eficiência de remoção em pH 2,0 para ambos os corantes. As cinéticas foram realizadas em diferentes temperaturas (10, 20, 30, 40 e 50ºC) cujas quantidades máximas removidas foram 91,95 % (50 ºC) para o turquesa remazol e 97,12 % (10 ºC) para o azul remazol, sendo o modelo de pseudo-segunda ordem (R2 > 0,999) o mais adequado com quantidades adsorvidas variando entre 29,93 36,78 mg/g (turquesa remazol) e 38,63 38,29 mg/g (azul remazol) nas faixas de 10 a 50 ºC para um tempo de equilíbrio de 90 minutos. O modelo gráfico de adsorção intraparticular apresentou três segmentos lineares, indicando que na adsorção dos dois corantes estão envolvidos três processos: interação adsorvente/adsorvato superficial externa, difusão do adsorvato dentro dos poros do adsorvente e interação do adsorvato com os sítios ativos dentro dos poros. As isotermas de adsorções foram avaliadas, sendo que as quantidades máximas adsorvidas variaram entre 49,27 60,25 mg/g (turquesa remazol) e 84,75 80,64 mg/g (azul remazol) nas faixas de temperatura de 10 a 50 ºC. Os resultados obtidos seguiram o modelo de Langmuir (R2 > 0,985). Os parâmetros termodinâmicos confirmaram a espontaneidade para os dois processos de adsorção sendo endotérmico com aumento de entropia para o turquesa remazol e exotérmico com aumento de entropia para o azul remazol. A dessorção dos corantes foi realizada em meio alcalino (pH 8,0), sendo recuperado 41,5 % para o turquesa remazol e 52,5 % para o azul remazol em um tempo de equilíbrio de 90 minutos.

CAPESA indústria têxtil gera grande volume de efluente de elevada carga orgânica e coloração pela presença de corantes residuais. Devido às implicações ambientais causadas se têm buscado formas de remover esses compostos dos efluentes. O processo de adsorção é considerado eficiente na remoção de corantes dos efluentes e materiais de baixo custo tais como resíduos agroindustriais (e.g. bagaço de cana-de-açúcar) e industriais (e.g. resíduo de algodão dos teares ou pó de varredura – PV) normalmente modificados quimicamente se mostram como uma alternativa de tratamento. Foram inseridos grupamentos amino quaternário (DEAE+) e metil carboxílico (CM-) na estrutura celulósica do PV com o objetivo de gerar uma capacidade de troca nesta matriz inicialmente inerte e consolidar a capacidade de sequestro de corantes têxteis. As matrizes iônicas obtidas foram avaliadas em relação: pH do ponto de carga zero (pHpcz), eficiência da retenção de corantes têxteis em diferentes condições experimentais (e.g. concentração inicial, temperatura, tempo de contato) a fim de determinar os parâmetros cinéticos e termodinâmicos do processo de adsorção em batelada, biodegradabilidade das matrizes saturadas com corante, regeneração das matrizes e avaliação em amostras de efluente têxtil real. Foi observada alteração do pHpcz das matrizes CM--PV (6,07) e DEAE+-PV (9,66) em comparação ao material nativo (6,46), comprovando alteração na carga superficial total. As matrizes se mostraram eficientes para a remoção dos corantes têxteis avaliados nas condições experimentais. Os dados cinéticos do processo de adsorção se ajustaram melhor ao modelo de pseudosegunda ordem, sendo que o modelo de difusão intrapartícula sugere um processo multi-etapas. O tempo necessário para o sistema atingir o equilíbrio variou conforme a concentração inicial da solução de corante, sendo mais rápido em soluções mais diluídas. O modelo de isoterma de Langmuir se ajustou melhor aos dados experimentais. A capacidade máxima de adsorção variou de forma distinta para cada corante, estando relacionada à interação adsorvente/adsorvato e a estrutura química do corante. Poucos corantes obtiveram uma variação linear da constante de equilibro (ka) em função do inverso da temperatura e puderam ter seu comportamento termodinâmico avaliado. Destes, os corantes BR18:1 e AzL apresentaram características de um processo de adsorção endotérmico (ΔH° positivo), já o VmL de processo exotérmico (ΔH° negativo). Os valores de ΔG° sugerem que a adsorção ocorre de forma espontânea, exceto para o corante BY28, e os valores de ΔH° indicam que a adsorção se dá pelo processo de quimiossorção. Houve redução de 31 a 51% da biodegradabilidade das matrizes carregadas com os corantes. O ensaio de regeneração indicou que as matrizes podem ser reutilizadas pelo menos até cinco vezes sem perda de desempenho. A matriz DEAE+-PV mostrou-se eficiente para a remoção de coloração presente em efluente têxtil, atingindo uma redução da área espectral UV-Visível de até 93 % (proporção de 15 g da matriz por litro de efluente). A gama de matéria colorida removida por parte das matrizes variou de 40,27 a 98,65 mg g-1 de matriz ionizada, dependendo da estrutura.
The textile industry generates a large volume of high organic effluent loading whoseintense color arises from residual dyes. Due to the environmental implications caused by this category of contaminant there is a permanent search for methods to remove these compounds from industrial waste waters. The adsorption alternative is one of the most efficient ways for such a purpose of sequestering/remediation and the use of inexpensive materials such as agricultural residues (e.g., sugarcane bagasse) and cotton dust waste (CDW) from weaving in their natural or chemically modified forms. The inclusion of quaternary amino groups (DEAE+) and methylcarboxylic (CM-) in the CDW cellulosic structure generates an ion exchange capacity in these formerly inert matrix and, consequently, consolidates its ability for electrovalent adsorption of residual textile dyes. The obtained ionic matrices were evaluated for pHpcz, the retention efficiency for various textile dyes in different experimental conditions, such as initial concentration , temperature, contact time in order to determine the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of adsorption in batch, turning comprehensive how does occur the process, then understood from the respective isotherms. It was observed a change in the pHpcz for CM--CDW (6.07) and DEAE+-CDW (9.66) as compared to the native CDW (6.46), confirming changes in the total surface charge. The ionized matrices were effective for removing all evaluated pure or residual textile dyes under various tested experimental conditions. The kinetics of the adsorption process data had best fitted to the model a pseudosecond order and an intraparticle diffusion model suggested that the process takes place in more than one step. The time required for the system to reach equilibrium varied according to the initial concentration of dye, being faster in diluted solutions. The isotherm model of Langmuir was the best fit to the experimental data. The maximum adsorption capacity varied differently for each tested dye and it is closely related to the interaction adsorbent/adsorbate and dye chemical structure. Few dyes obtained a linear variation of the balance ka constant due to the inversion of temperature and might have influence form their thermodynamic behavior. Dyes that could be evaluated such as BR 18: 1 and AzL, showed features of an endothermic adsorption process (ΔH° positive) and the dye VmL presented exothermic process characteristics (ΔH° negative). ΔG° values suggested that adsorption occurred spontaneously, except for the BY 28 dye, and the values of ΔH° indicated that adsorption occurred by a chemisorption process. The reduction of 31 to 51% in the biodegradability of the matrix after the dye adsorption means that they must go through a cleaning process before being discarded or recycled, and the regeneration test indicates that matrices can be reused up to five times without loss of performance. The DEAE+-CDW matrix was efficient for the removal of color from a real textile effluent reaching an UV-Visible spectral area decrease of 93% when applied in a proportion of 15 g ion exchanger matrix L-1 of colored wastewater, even in the case of the parallel presence of 50 g L-1 of mordant salts in the waste water. The wide range of colored matter removal by the synthesized matrices varied from 40.27 to 98.65 mg g-1 of ionized matrix, obviously depending in each particular chemical structure of the dye upon adsorption.

The production and use of this type of dust diminish the ambient impact and if it shows economically viable, therefore it is produced easily from the processing of residues, which would be discarded in the nature. The present work shows to the study of the production of the dust of tissue its partial substitution of the natural small aggregate in the production of concrete of Portland cement conventional. To prove the viability economic technique and of the use of the fabric dust they had been analyzed characteristic of the aggregate as its grain sized composition, and its behavior in the discouragement assays cone trunk (Slump Test). A relation water-cement also was stipulated to the one usual concrete with resistance waited of 27 MPa. With these data a trace for concrete using 5% and 15% of added fabric dust, substituting was defined the sand. The research presents the results of simple compressive strength of the cylindrical bodies of test of concrete to the 28 days. It was verified so little that the samples had not presented significant differences of resistance between itself, with regard to the resistance of a conventional concrete only produced with natural small aggregate. However, the compression had an improvement in the results of the assays, mainly in the concrete with 15% of fabric dust.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to discuss the trend of green textiles. By investigating the European environmental directives, the Kyoto protocol and the REACH, we can understand the green issues that the manufacturers should pay attention to, including the 3Rs－Reduce, Reuse, Recycle；the restriction of hazardous substances, and the eco-friendly product design. The we will study the case of the large international corporations, including the technology and the strategy. We will focus the discussion on China and Taiwan in the end, and giving some opinions by competition analysis. Finally, I made three conclusions： 1. The firms should cooperate to research the technology. 2. The government should enact the standard like Oeko-Tex100. 3.The firms should cooperate actively with China.

Amid the era of deteriorating global warming situation, the issue of environmental impact is also gaining more and more attention. During the manufacturing processes of textile products, many of them will cause impact to ecological environment. To reduce harms to the environment and enhance the international competitiveness of the textile industry, the introduction of a green supply chain is an issue that needs to pay attention to. The main purpose of this study is to understand the major obstacles when Taiwan’s textile industry is introduced with a green supply chain. It is expected that it would provide opportunities for the textile industry to move towards the green supply chain and serve as a government’s guideline to lead SMEs to enter into the green supply chain in the future. In this study, major textile manufacturers, small and medium-sized traders, brand agents and raw materials suppliers were chosen as the main research subjects. First of all, the initial structural aspect levels were defined based on a literature investigation approach, and then six major aspect levels and 16 subprojects were sorted out through an interview survey to establish a research framework and questionnaire design. Finally, the domestic textile industry was conducted with an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to analyze the relative importance features among various factors based on the recovered information from the survey. The research findings indicate that the “financial aspect” is the biggest obstacle when the textile industry is introduced with a green supply chain; followed by “enterprise aspect” and the “manufacturing process aspect.” These are regarded as the top three most important obstacles. This has disproved the fact that most enterprises are unwilling to be led into the green supply chain, but a lack of funds has discouraged them to do so. However, sustainable logistics management and the introduction of advanced environmental technology and technique skills are the feasible solutions to help Taiwan’s small and medium-sized textile enterprises to engage in green transformation and enhance their market competitiveness in the future.

Theatre is an art form that combines the art of storytelling with the visual arts. Every production begins with a blank canvas, and it is up to the director and a team of designers to discuss concepts and decide on an artistic vision for the piece. Skilled artisans work quickly as a team to produce the vision of the designer and director. During the production process waste is generated in the scene shop, props shop, costume shop, and rehearsal space. The products that are used to create the design can often contain harmful ingredients for both the artisan and the environment. No longer willing to ignore the responsibility that theatres have as stewards to the environment many artisans are leading the way by exploring safer practices and products. The research for this thesis is focused on the theatrical costume shop and examines dry cleaning, fabric painting and dyeing, and waste disposal. Alternatives to regular dry cleaning practices and commonly used and otherwise toxic products are available for a variety of processes we use in the theatre.
For this study I conducted one hundred and sixty five surveys, ten interviews and a quality test amongst the dry cleaning alternatives in Austin, Texas. Three sets of
seven different fabric samples were cleaned using the standard solvent and the alternative methods for dry cleaning. Four professional dyers and painters were interviewed about their dyeing process, disposal practices, and the impact that “green” products have on their work. I spoke with two experts working in wastewater about the impact dyes and paints have on wastewater treatment plants. Finally, I conducted an anonymous survey in 2010 to find out what new products or methods are in use amongst costume shop managers, dyers and painters, and production managers.text

Supply chain management is central to modern business operations. For businesses, profit attainment is not the only goal. Many enterprises are concerned about corporate social responsibility and trying to achieve sustainable development. Recently, especially influenced by the EU Directives, such as WEEE, RoHS, Eup etc., more and more businesses have noticed the “Green” issues. This research takes the electronic and textile industries for example to study the green supply chain management practices in Taiwan and tries to build a framework taking industry commonality and specialty into consideration. We first build the framework of analysis for the green supply chain which includes two categories of issues. The first part is the general factors of green supply chain management, including driving forces, hindering forces, push forces, drawing forces, and challenge forces. The second part concerns the degree of implementation of green supply chain in various phases, including green design, green purchase, green manufacturing, and green logistics. By sending survey questionnaire to the businesses in the electronic and textile industries with comprehensive supply chains, we obtained 16 final valid samples from the electronic industry and 22 final valid samples from the textile industry. We also conducted personal interviews of key managers in several firms to supplement the research contents. The observations from above study are as follows：General factors of green supply chain management are different between the electronic and textile industries. For electronic industry, EU directives is the main driving force, while changing production process and raising cost are the main hindering forces. And the degree of implementation of green supply chain is different by firms with no obvious trend for any phase. For textile industry, market environment is the main driving force, while lack of professional staff and knowledge in green supply chain management are the main hindering forces. And the degrees of implementation of green supply chain for most of the phases fall in the 1-20% interval. This research provides a comprehensive framework of green supply chain and applies the framework to compare the applicability to the high-tech electronic and traditional textile industries.

Considering the rise of global environmental consciousness on corporate social responsibility and sustainable operation, this study verifies the correlation between 3 environment-related events from 2014 to 2015 and abnormal returns on 14 public company samples in Taiwan textile industry. Taiwan textile industry, which survived from the threat of red supplier chain, recently faces the challenge to fulfill the demand of green products. The finding of the research indicates that positive environmental related event induce positive abnormal returns as regards the stock price of textile industry. On the other hand, negative events induce negative abnormal returns as to its stock price. The reaction time is merely one day, which supports efficient market theory. Inconsistence with the loss aversion mentioned in prospect theory, the investors still have faith on textile industry even in negative event. Hence, abnormal return in negative event is not as obvious as that in positive one. In negative event that green peace organization strongly requests famous international brands like Nike, Addidas, UA, etc., to de-toxic in clothing by 2020, the impact on clothing industry is more intense than others. To conclude in short, (1) the investors pay more attention to Corporate Social Responsibility, and they will purchase the stocks due to the company adopting green policy. (2) Regardless of positive or negative international environment-related event, they all affect the stock price of textile industry and lead to abnormal returns, which reveal that Taiwan has close relationship with international famous cloth brands.

As the trend of globalization, the rapid growth of economics and the advancement of technology information improve the quality of our life, and in consequence the environment has also changed dramatically due to the above factors which force us to concern the environment around us. However, the development of industries in the past cost the environmental destruction . In addition, the global eco-awareness is so common that most countries in the world have focused on the issue of environmental protection. This study is to conduct structured in-depth interviews with green material manufacturers and experts, and further to explore the status of the green supply chain of polyester fiber through understanding the circumstances of green supply chain. The result of the interviews shows the importance of environmental protection to the textile industry as well as the higher demand of social responsibility because of the green trend of eco- awareness.

Textile industry used to be Taiwan’s pilot industry from 1945. It created export surplus and foreign exchange reserves for Taiwan. Recently, due to the low-price competition, the increasing costs of material, labor and land, our total product value and import-export balance decreased yearly. Under the treat of rising textile countries, the decreasing earth resource and ecological damage, all these factors induced the emphasis on environmental protection for every country and made the wave of green merchandise and comsumption over the whole world. Besides sustainable advantage, Taiwan’s textile industry had to create the new competition power by means of product development, product innovation and green marketing performance to develop eco-textiles with high-value. The results confirmed the positive influence of product development on product innovation, and both two factors made a convinced effect on green marketing performance. There was a partial mediating effect on product development and green marketing performance for product innovation. And they revealed that fine product development would be contributed to innovation type and newness of product innovation; good product innovation would be helpful to promote the firms’ satisfication of green marketing performance; product development could raise firms’ satisfication of green marketing performance through a mediating effect of newness of product innovation.
