Abstract:
The textile industry is known for its significant environmental impact, and as such, there is a growing need to assess the industry\'s production practices. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an effective tool for measuring the environmental impact of textile products from raw material production to end-of-life disposal. Surat city, known as textile hub of India, has multiple industrial clusters that play host to different elements of the textile value chain. This research aims to evaluate the environmental performance of a Surat-based textile company. The study involves the collection of data from textile manufacturing facilities, including gray cloth production and wet processes (gate-to-gate approach). The data collected has been analyzed using the GABI (9.2.1 version) software. The study provides potential environmental impact data on present textile technology and production situation. Significant hotspots have been determined throughout supply chain and the associated drivers identified. However, the industry\'s environmental impact can be reduced by practicing ecoefficiency, immaterialization, and recycling textile waste. This research highlights the importance of LCA in identifying the environmental impact of the textile industry and provides a basis for developing sustainable practices to minimize the industry\'s environmental impact.
摘要:
纺织业以其重大的环境影响而闻名,因此,越来越需要评估该行业的生产实践。生命周期评估(LCA)是衡量纺织品从原材料生产到报废处置对环境的影响的有效工具。苏拉特市,被称为印度纺织中心,拥有多个产业集群,它们承载着纺织品价值链的不同要素。本研究旨在评估一家苏拉特纺织公司的环境绩效。这项研究涉及从纺织制造设施收集数据,包括灰布生产和湿法工艺(门到门方法)。使用GABI(9.2.1版本)软件分析收集的数据。该研究提供了有关当前纺织技术和生产状况的潜在环境影响数据。已经在整个供应链中确定了重要的热点,并确定了相关的驱动因素。然而,可以通过实践生态效率来减少行业对环境的影响,物化,并回收纺织废料。这项研究强调了LCA在确定纺织业对环境的影响方面的重要性,并为制定可持续实践以最大程度地减少行业对环境的影响提供了基础。
