Bangladesh’s apparel industry has become the country’s economic foundation. The textile and apparel employees especially over four million people. In this major industrial sector, it is critical to encourage sustainability. When the apparel market and corporations focus on environmentally friendly products, Bangladesh’s textile and apparel sectors remain far behind, putting the country at risk of losing market share. It is right of passage to implement techniques and a long-term strategy to sustainability. Bangladeshi apparel industries are currently facing significant issues in terms of labor conditions. In garment manufacturers, fires are a common occurrence. Thousands of workers have perished because of these dangers. Due to Bangladesh’s fire and safety difficulties, several foreign purchasers have already opted not to do business with the country again. Furthermore, workers receive the world’s lowest pay, which leaves them dissatisfied and frequently results in conflicts and violence during protests poor wages. This study is conveyed based on theoretical, analytical, and statistical aspects. The goal of this study is to represent the overall picture of sustainability in the apparel industry in Bangladesh. This study illustrates on using a life cycle approach to assessing manufactured products for environmental indicators to attain sustainability, fast fashion, government policy of sustainability, new method and material of garments and compare with the lifestyle of Europe against Bangladesh. This paper investigated Bangladesh’s garment industry’s working environment, fire, and safety hazards, and made suggestions for important environmental and sustainability activities. This study is helpful to all the people because sustainability is the main concern in a day.

Activated carbon fiber (ACF) is undoubtedly one of the most significant carbon nanocomposite materials to consider from the perspective of application in adsorption. Compared to other commercial porous storage materials, it offers many benefits. With a fiber-like shape and a clearly defined porosity structure, activated carbon fiber (ACF) is a potential microporous material. In general, synthetic carbon fiber (CF) can be used to commercially make ACF with the inclusion of an activation procedure. High packing density, outstanding volumetric capacity, rapid adsorption/ desorption, and ease of handling are some of the unique properties of ACF. The production expenses of ACF are made up of fiber processing costs and activation costs, both of which are comparatively more expensive than those of other activated carbons. Recently, researchers have indicated that the manufacturing of ACF from less expensive precursors might be accomplished by preparing activated carbon (AC) from agricultural wastes. In comparison to synthetic ACF, there were fewer details and publicly accessible sources of information about these natural fiber derived ACF. The cost of processing fiber is higher and shaping fiber into the correct shape is challenging. In this study, social and environmental compliance, economic development, advantages of carbon fiber,and applications of carbon fiber are discussed.
