“…Therefore, this paper suggests that the textile industry should improve its infrastructure through modern and environment‐efficient technology that fully considers sustainability transformation to the TWM to reduce wastewater pollution (Beyers et al, 2023; Zhuang et al, 2020), while n‐CTIs should transition to more sustainable practices by adopting the ETP to treat wastewater prior to its discharge. In agreement with studies by Cong et al (2021) and Hernández‐Zamora et al (2016), this study indicates the gaps evident in the employment of the ETP from the TVC perspective, combined with governmental enforcement and environmental monitoring for the resilience of clean water and renewable energy, while ensuring industrial profitability. This requires the development of transformative capacities in the industry, which brings together stakeholder, technological, and infrastructure competencies.…”

“…These various stakeholders, including governments, funding agencies, international brands, and industry leaders, must promote cleaner production methods in textile manufacturing to conserve water and reduce consumption, engaging small‐medium‐large‐sized CTI industries, and as well as the n‐CTI sector in these practices (ITMF, 2014; PaCT, 2017). Furthermore, strict government supervision is needed to regulate and monitor the behaviour of unsustainable textile wastewater discharges through the implementation of environmental laws and regulations to promote environmental sustainability and facilitate socio‐economic development (Cong et al, 2021; Hernández‐Zamora et al, 2016; Stone et al, 2020).…”

“…This requirement for stronger oversight is accentuated by common challenges such as financial constraints and a lack of government regulations (Tumpa et al, 2019), particularly in emerging economies. Furthermore, it is argued that strict government supervision is needed to regulate and monitor the behaviour of unsustainable textile wastewater discharges through the implementation of environmental laws and regulations to promote environmental sustainability and facilitate socio‐economic development (Cong et al, 2021; Hernández‐Zamora et al, 2016; Stone et al, 2020). Based on these arguments, this section discusses the perspectives of transformation and institutional perspectives, before addressing the internal and external drivers, which affect wastewater management decision‐making, before discussing the divide between compliant and non‐compliant industries.…”

This paper explores the relationships between textile wastewater management and its impact on ecosystems and community livelihoods. Using the case of the wastewater management practices of the Bangladesh textile industry and thematic analysis of key informant interviews with industry representatives in the production value chain, the study illustrates perceptions of sustainability transformation regarding wastewater management, specifically by integrating sustainable water and energy practices. The findings reveal the adverse effects of textile wastewater on freshwater resources, such as the obstruction of socio‐economic development and environmental sustainability, and highlight the distinctions between compliant and non‐compliant textile industries regarding sustainability transformation. These results also indicate challenges that hinder the sustainability of textile effluent treatment, including the absence of techno‐ecology, pro‐environmental behaviour, stringent regulations, reliable surveillance, and collaborative actions. Recommendations include improving cooperation among community‐stakeholders and decision‐makers to promote sustainability transformation in textile wastewater management, prioritising water energy resources to advance environmental development, and fulfilling socio‐economic demands.

“…Research on parks is inadequate and focuses more on productivity-related factors of the blue-collar group rather than on leisure and recreation indicators and park satisfaction factors. In studies on Chinese industrial parks, which are workplaces for this group, the areas of sustainable development of the parks [33], industrial product emissions [34], and pollutant management [35] are mainly covered, and less attention is paid to the internal green environment.…”

Park Recreation Intention and Satisfaction of Blue-Collar Workers Based on the ACSI Model: A Case Study of Anning Industrial Park in Yunnan

The negative effects of long working hours and shift work on the physical and mental health of blue-collar groups should not be underestimated. Under intense stress, they have limited time to access recreational green space, and their own health is thus affected. In this study, a conceptual model of recreational satisfaction among blue-collar workers was established based on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). The model explores the factors affecting their level of satisfaction when using recreational spaces. Anning Industrial Park in Yunnan Province was used as an example. User data were collected and analyzed using a questionnaire survey and structural equation methods. The results indicate that recreation intention, perceived park quality characteristics, and perceived value all had significant and positive effects on the park recreation satisfaction of blue-collar workers. This study applied social economics theory to the field of landscape planning, identified the typical characteristics of blue-collar workers and their green space use, and strived to optimize the UGS configuration and functional facilities through the evaluation of recreation satisfaction indexes, which provided guidance and reference for improving the service quality of green spaces.

“…Therefore, controlling the discharge of industrial parks' wastewater and their effective treatment are crucial to water pollution control in China. In order to deal with wastewater seasonal fluctuation and the occurrence of illegal discharge, a centralized two-stage wastewater treatment model, namely pretreatment within enterprises and further treatment in a centralized wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), is usually implemented in industrial parks (Liu & Tang 2018;Cong et al 2021). Biological treatments have been commonly applied in WWTP for industrial wastewater decontamination, so effluents with high acute toxicity would potentially result in the collapse of the biological treatment processes.…”

Identifying the key parameters or components mainly contributing to the acute toxicity of wastewater would be helpful to quickly and conveniently reflect their biological toxicity. In this study, the components/parameters and biological toxicity of 64 effluent samples collected from two factories producing konjac and glass were analyzed. It was found that the two types of wastewaters were not effectively dealt with the inner technology. Moreover, the acute biological toxicity evaluated by the bioluminescence inhibition to Vibrio fischeri revealed that ∼90% of the effluents were marked as toxic with bioluminescence inhibition higher than 50%. By applying a grey relational analysis (GRA) method to investigate the influential priorities of the effluent characteristics on biological toxicity, the results demonstrated that the top four influential factors on the bioluminescence inhibition were as follows: TN ≈ SO42− > Cl− > As ≈ Hg (for konjac-manufacturing effluents) and Zn > SO42− ≈ TN > As > Cl− (for glass-producing effluents). These results would be useful for fast recognizing the biological toxicity features of industrial effluents via evaluating the most influential parameters, and helpful for reducing the biological acute toxicity to protect the downstream wastewater treatment plant from abrupt collapse.
