DHAKA – Swedish fashion retailer H&M is collaborating with one of its key suppliers in Bangladesh to explore the potential of three groundbreaking technologies aimed at significantly reducing CO2 emissions, water usage, and chemical consumption in the textile production process.
In a strategic move to enhance sustainability in its supply chain, H&M is funding the installation of advanced machinery from three different companies on a single production line at Chorka Textile’s factory, located near Dhaka. This initiative marks a significant milestone as it will be the first time these technologies are tested simultaneously within the same facility, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness in minimizing environmental impact.
The technologies being assessed are designed to streamline production processes while promoting eco-friendly practices, aligning with H&M’s commitment to sustainability and responsible fashion. By integrating these innovative solutions, H&M aims to set a benchmark for the industry, showcasing how collaboration with suppliers can lead to substantial improvements in environmental performance.
This partnership underscores H&M’s ongoing efforts to incorporate sustainability into its business model and highlights the growing importance of innovation in the fashion industry. As the retailer continues to prioritize environmental responsibility, this project represents a proactive step towards achieving its sustainability goals and reducing its overall carbon footprint in the production of textiles.
