Thank you to Ecotextile News for quoting our CEO and highlighting our experience at Bharat Tex! “Just wow! It’s incredible to see how sustainability thinking has evolved in India,” said Akhil Sivanandan, chief executive officer of Green Story, a Dutch organisation that works with companies on product sustainability data. “Over the past two years, a strong sustainability wave has taken hold, and Bharat Tex truly underscored that shift. From our clients and partners showcasing their sustainability achievements through digital product passports and LCAs to the Indian Prime Minister and Textile Minister (Giriraj Singh) emphasising sustainability in their addresses – the momentum is undeniable.” Sivanandan was referring to a speech to delegates by India’s prime minister Narendra Modi who emphasised the importance of the five “Fs”—farmer, fibre, factory, fashion, and foreign in an industry which already has a very strong base of textile knowledge, technology and trade. Visitors to the event noted how India therefore has huge opportunities to grow exports of its global textiles and apparel sector and improve its circularity if it can move quickly." #news #sustainability #fashion #textiles #india

How can technology like AI and blockchain streamline LCA and DPP compliance? 💡 Dr. Muthu, emphasized the crucial role of AI in ensuring transparency and traceability across supply chains. With the complexity of tracking materials like cotton from seed to finished product, these technologies are revolutionizing the way we handle compliance. Gone are the days of manual, resource-intensive processes. AI is making it easier to manage the entire supply chain, ensuring seamless compliance and efficiency in creating LCA and DPPs. The future is here, and it’s powered by technology. 🌍 🎥 Watch the full discussion here https://lnkd.in/gbFKQ797 Periasamy S TIRUPPUR EXPORTERS' ASSOCIATION KNIT INDIA Magazine
