“…The sustainability evaluation made according to the total production capacity determined that the factory contributed approximately 12% to Sustainable Development Goal 12 in the period examined, according to both the life cycle assessment and material input per service methods. Although there is inconsistency in the life cycle assessment and material input per service method results, it was predicted that there are economic and environmental gain potentials related to Sustainable Development Goals 13, 14, and 15, and the sustainable production potential of the factory can be increased [15].…”

In this study, denim fabrics were produced using weft yarns obtained from mechanically recycled fibers after consumer use, and the breaking strength, tearing strength, thermal resistance, water vapor permeability, air permeability, and fabric stiffness of these fabrics were determined according to the standards. A life cycle analysis of the recycled denim fabrics was made using the SimaPro software program, and the environmental effects of the production were also revealed. Within the scope of the study, it was observed that the structural properties of the fabrics produced and the composition of recycled cotton used affect the performance and comfort properties of the fabric. The effect of the cotton recycling rate on the recycled denim fabrics was evaluated by LCA (life cycle analysis). As a result of the LCA evaluation, with the use of cotton with a high percentage of recycling additives instead of the conventional cotton, as in the reference fabric, resource depletion (fossil fuels), global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, the toxic effect on human, freshwater and terrestrial life, the total water use, and other categories were observed to undergo a significant improvement.

“…In order to make the calculations comparative, the total production capacity of the factory was created in three different ways, taking into account a selected product and wet processes. The sustainability assessment created as a result of the analyses determined that the factory contributed approximately 12% to Sustainable Development Goal 12 in the period examined, according to both the life cycle assessment and Material Input per Service methods [31].…”

The effect of industrialization and technological developments and the rate of population growth have begun to disrupt the ecological balance in the world. A large share of the deterioration of this balance is due to the rapidly increasing energy demands of people. Fossil fuels and renewable energy sources are used to obtain the energy that is needed by human beings. Most of the world’s energy needs are met by fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These resources, which we call fossil fuels, cause many parallel environmental problems, such as global warming, climate change, and carbon emissions, for the world and nature. The most affected by all these experiences, of course, is the entire production sector, which is dependent on energy. However, textile and apparel, which is a pioneer in taking steps towards harmonization with the Green Agreement, is one of the sectors that started the transition to green energy within the scope of the European Union and brands’ net-zero targets. Within the scope of the Green Agreement, Turkey has participated and started to work for a 70% carbon reduction, which is the target for 2030, and carbon neutrality, which is the target for 2050. Therefore, within the scope of these targets, the textile sector of Çukurova Region, which has the highest export rate in Turkey, was chosen. Within the scope of this study, carbon emission, which is one of the global problems, was examined within the framework of the ISO 14067-ISO Product Based Carbon Footprint (CF) standard by examining the production of a textile company, and the results were analyzed in detail. The main innovation of this article is to follow all stages of the fabric called Tricia, which is the most produced product in the textile industry, from its entry as fiber to its exit as fabric in the factory, and to calculate and analyze the amount of carbon that is released into nature. The dynamic and experimental results showed that it was determined that 6.00 tons of carbon dioxide carbon were released in the time it took for the fabric to go to the sewing room as a fabric.

“…As a symbol of a free lifestyle, denim fabric and clothing have consistently been beloved by global consumers, with an annual global production exceeding an astonishing 9 billion meters and a value exceeding 25 billion USD. − However, the production process of denim garments, particularly the dyeing stage, has caused significant environmental pollution. − This pollution is primarily due to the excessive use of indigo dyes and reducing agents, such as sodium dithionite (Na 2 S 2 O 4 ), during the dyeing process. Based on current industrial practices, the dyeing process for indigo denim fabric consumes approximately 2 t of the toxic and corrosive Na 2 S 2 O 4 per ton of fabric, with an estimated 60–70% of this amount being discharged into the environment .…”

The annual global output of denim exceeds a staggering 9 billion meters, valued at over $25 billion. The conventional production relies on sodium dithionite for indigo dye reduction, a costly process that also generates environmentally harmful wastewater with sulfite and sulfate ions. Addressing these issues, we present an eco-friendly, cost-effective electrochemical reduction approach using a novel molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) molecule–proton dual adsorption system for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of indigo dye. This system facilitates a phase shift from 2H to 1T in MoS2 by intercalating organic amine cations, enhancing the coadsorption of active hydrogen and indigo molecules, thereby boosting the ECH activity. The dimethylamine-cation intercalated MoS2 electrode material (MoS2-DMA-CF) achieves over 95% dye reduction efficiency and more than 75% faradaic efficiency in ECH, surpassing traditional methods with a 25% increase in K/S value, improved color fastness, and less than 5% color variation after 10 cycles. Additionally, this method reduces energy consumption by 92.424% and dyeing costs by 90.416%, with the dyeing wastewater exhibiting excellent biodegradability, offering substantial environmental benefits. This innovative approach not only yields significant cost savings but is also highly scalable, providing a sustainable solution for denim fabrication.
