Profi üzleti angol: üzleti hírek angolul-ruhaipar

Tudtátok, hogy a ruhaipar a második legszennyezőbb ipar a világon. A mai hírek erről szólnak. A Guardian-ből válogattam jó kis szókinccsel.

News textiles made from discarded orange peel are reducing the environmental impact of the world’s second most polluting industry. When you squeeze orange at an industrial level, half of it is waste that has to be disposed of. Italy has about 700 000 tonnes of orange waste a year. Some companies were even sued as they were dumping it in the fields.

Two fashion students developed and patented a process that attracted  500 000 euros of funding from private investors. In this process they turn the peel into a silk like fabric. The eponymous company behind the material offers the fabric for 30-30 euros per metre.

A German company has also come up with a sustainable solution: they have presented their fibre made from waste cow’s milk. The yarn and fabric can be used for fashion applications. There are other attempts to revive fibres that have fallen out of fashion like hemp.

The way clothes are made are massively wasteful. The equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is wasted every second, while less than 1% of clothing is recycled into new clothes. Clothes release half a million tonnes of microfibres into the ocean every year. The carbon footprint of the UK clothing sector is worsening. The volume of clothes bought rose, which means 26 million tonnes of CO2 emission from production to disposal.

Sustainable fashion should be made more mainstream, Overall sales of clothing is increasing and the UK needs to jump off the fast fashion treadmill to find a truly sustainable approach.
