Modern trends in ecological preservation of textile materials in the fashion industry

Abstract

Society is increasingly aware of the environment, conservation of natural resources and the general state of ecology in the world. Conscious consumption is currently the most relevant trend in the fashion industry. Conscious manufacturers use more ecological, recycled materials, and energy-saving technological solutions when manufacturing products. Textile is the most common material from which various products are made in the fashion industry, so it is the most demanded and expensive. The increase in the consumption of clothes and accessories, the reduction of their useful life due to the rapid change in fashion and consumer preferences cause an increase in environmental pollution with fibers of synthetic origin and industrial waste. Excessive consumption of things is increasing more and more, which, as a result, has a negative impact on the environment and its ecological indicators. One of the ways to improve the ecological situation in the world and preserve natural resources is a more conscious attitude to the production of products and extending the period of their use. Therefore, the need to reduce the volume of use of "fast fashion" products and extend the operating time of existing ones in order to reduce environmental pollution by waste from industrial production of the fashion industry is one of the main tasks that modern production and consumers face
