“…Of these, green facilities have the highest score of 4.44, which is not surprising given the recent significant increase in the number of LEED-certified facilities there (The Daily Star, 2019). The findings also support the claims in the literature that there is a significant improvement in green manufacturing practices (X¯ = 4.25) in the Bangladesh garment sector (Hassan and Bhagvandas, 2017). While the relatively low score for green transportation (X¯ = 3.45) and relatively higher SD (>1) (shows considerable variation among firms) is a concern that needs to be addressed.…”

PurposeThe garments/textiles industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. However, efforts to understand and curtail its adverse environmental impacts have not been commensurate, and previous works have largely been fragmented and disjointed. This study aims to coduct a comprehensive and systematic green supply chain management (GSCM) investigation on this industry, where a multidimensional framework involving green supply chain practices and performance is developed, validated and applied.Design/methodology/approachA framework consisting of 12 constructs (8 on practices and 4 on performance) and their underlying measures were developed through an extensive literature review. A survey methodology was used to obtain responses from 403 garment-manufacturing firms in Bangladesh, one of the leading garment producers in the world. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used first to validate the first- and second-order constructs and then test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsInternal environmental management and cooperation with stakeholders were identified as necessary precursors for implementing the second-order green supply chain practices comprising green design, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green transportation, green facilities and end-of-life management. The implementation of green supply chain practices was found to have a (direct) positive impact on environmental, economic and operational performance and an indirect positive impact on organizational performance. Similarly, both economic and operational performance was found to impact organizational performance positively. Surprisingly, a negative relationship (albeit low) was observed between environmental and organizational performance. Also, garment-manufacturing firms were found to have been unable to translate their IEM capabilities into strategic and long-term cooperation with stakeholders.Research limitations/implicationsThe study fills a gap in the literature about applying/implementing GSCM in the garment industry. Future studies in the garment industry and elsewhere could utilize the framework to understand further the synergistic impact of green supply chain practices on performance.Practical implicationsThe findings provide practitioners, policymakers and organizations associated with the garment industry with critical insights on the various opportunities and challenges in adopting GSCM. Also, the positive impact of green supply chain practices on performance could provide the impetus for manufacturing firms to adopt GSCM.Originality/valueA comprehensive GSCM investigation on the garment industry has not been previously attempted and constitutes the novelty of this work. Also, Bangladesh is the second-largest garment exporter worldwide, making this study contribution even more valuable.

“…Dyeing uniformity degree could be evaluated by the Δ E value. 43 The K / S value and Δ E value were got using a Ci7800 benchtop spectrophotometer (X-rite, USA), (Illuminant D65; 10° standard observer). Before the test, each woolen fabric was folded to form four layers and measured at four different locations.…”

“…The acid wills protonate the amino group of fibers, so they become cationic. Dyeing process involves exchange of the anion associated with an ammonium ion in the fiber with a dye anion in the bath [20][21][22]. The cotton fabrics are hydrophilic fabrics whose structures are cellulose polymers with varying degree of polymerization (DP).…”

A CTUALLY, the present current work addresses an innovative approach for benign enhancement of dyeing of cotton fabrics assisted with nanocomposite based on chitosan (Cs), silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and clay. The Cs/Ag NPs and Cs/Ag NPs/clay nanocomposites were prepared using UV irradiation and applied on the cotton fabrics by paddry-curing method. The blank and treated cotton fabrics were dyed with C.I. Acid Orange 74. The Dye exhaustion, colorimetric analysis as well as fastness properties of the treated fabrics was evaluated. The obtained data proves that the nanocomposite of Cs/Ag NPs/clay is a promising mixture for durable dyeing for cotton fabrics.
