Given the significant scale of the textile industry, there has been rising global concern over the sustainability of this sector. Consumers’ satisfaction with textile materials plays a pivotal role in sustainable textile products in competitive markets. There have been limited studies on understanding customers preferences and the selection criteria for sustainable textile products in developing countries, where the uncertainties of demand and supply abound. The sustainability impact of textile products in developing countries has not been thoroughly investigated in previous studies. This study aims to examine sustainability criteria to evaluate the selection of sustainable textile products. Thus, using a case study of the textile industry in Nigeria, this paper provides a fuzzy decision support system to analyze the selection of sustainable textile products in the country's textile industry. The study employed an integrated fuzzy best-worst method and fuzzy inference systems to evaluate textile products. The fuzzy best-worst method was used to calculate the weight of each criterion while a fuzzy inference system was employed to select the best product. The proposed method was utilized in a real-world case study, and some managerial implications were determined. Based on three distinctive evaluative assessments, the proposed method was shown to be valid and robust.

“…[7,8,9]. Throughout the entire life cycle of textile products, from obtaining fibers to storing waste, they generate multiple sources of pollution [10]. Numerous studies show that reuse and recycling of textiles have more environmental benefits than landfill and incineration.…”

“…For example, according to Dutch aWEARness's calculations, textiles recycling can offer energy, water and carbon dioxide savings of 64%, 95% and 73% respectively, in comparison to standard non-recycled textiles. This also reduces the consumption of raw materials by 61% because waste is eliminated [10,11].…”

The restructuring of the mining sector in the Jiu Valley basin in the context of decarbonization has as its main goal the reduction of atmospheric pollution. Despite the fact that previous studies suggest an overall improvement in air quality as a result of this process, most ignore the lack of an immediate alternative to the use of coal as a primary energy resource both locally and regionally. This lack of alternatives has been found to have a negative influence on air quality through the noxious gases and Particulate Matter released into the atmosphere following the burning of some fuels, cloth and footwear waste, especially in the historical residential areas of the cities. In this paper, some of the results obtained from the instrumental determinations carried out in different areas of the Petroșani Municipality are presented, with special regard to the air quality in the Historical Center of this city.

“…Cotton waste, for instance, finds its way to brick kilns, where it serves as an economical alternative fuel compared to wood or coal. Iron is another valuable resource retrieved from the waste stream, as it is sold in the junk market and subsequently recycled for reuse in factories [14]. Moreover, paper waste undergoes recycling processes, reducing the demand for virgin materials and contributing to the sustainability of the industry.…”

Textile waste management is a critical component of sustainable practices in the fashion and textile industry. It encompasses the responsible handling and disposal of discarded textiles, including clothing, fabrics, and related materials. The goal of effective waste management is to minimize the environmental impact of textile production and consumption. Several strategies are employed in textile waste management: Recycling involves transforming used textiles into new products or materials, reducing the need for virgin resources. Clothing and textiles in good condition can be donated or sold through second-hand markets, extending their lifespan. Natural fibers like cotton and wool can be composted, returning them to the natural cycle. As the fashion industry continues to grow, so does its environmental footprint through landfill decomposing. Understanding and implementing effective waste management strategies in the textile sector can lead to several crucial benefits. Developing innovative ways to manage textile waste can lead to the creation of new industries and job opportunities. This includes recycling facilities, resale markets, and companies focused on sustainable fashion. Consumer Awareness Research in textile waste management helps raise public awareness about the environmental impact of the fashion industry. This knowledge empowers consumers to make more informed and sustainable choices when purchasing clothing. Regulatory Compliance enforced by governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly focused on sustainable practices within industries, including fashion. Research in waste management provides valuable insights for developing and enforcing policies to ensure compliance. Circular Economy Promotion is required for effective textile waste management that supports the transition towards a circular economy and a sustainable life cycle, where resources are reused and recycled rather than disposed-off after a single use. By extending the life of textiles through reuse and recycling, the carbon footprint associated with the production and transportation of new clothing is reduced. Innovation and Technology Advancement through research in textile waste management drives innovation in recycling technologies, fabric design, and sustainable production methods, which can have broader applications beyond the fashion industry. Textile waste is a global issue, and effective waste management practices can have positive repercussions on a worldwide scale, contributing to broader sustainability goals. The PROMETHEE method encompasses several aspects. Firstly, it considers diverse scales for evaluating different grounds. It allows for making decisions based on the best options, as illustrated by PROMETHEE I, which involves partial ranking. This involves identifying incomparable and neglected alternatives Ginning, Spinning, Sizing, Power looms, Dyeing and printing and Cotton waste, Blow room droppings, Cotton dust, Brass bora and Iron drums as per the ranking of Textile Waste Management for using the analysis of PROMETHEE Method. Power looms were considered the first rank whereas is the Spinning was ranked the lowest in the analysis.
