Over the last couple of years, the term ‘sustainability’ has become the talk of the town around the globe and has been merely a debatable concept. The textile and garment industries have been criticized of being unsustainable due to resource misuse, massive waste output, and environmental contamination. The apparel supply chain is diverse and complex, involving various stages including spinning, weaving, dyeing, printing, cutting, sewing and final garment construction. However, a variety of sustainable design strategies and environmentally sound methods for extracting natural dyes from specified resources are moving towards a sustainability roadmap to counteract this detrimental impact on the environment. This chapter gives a quick explanation of what the term ‘sustainable fashion’ means. It also discusses recent developments in sustainable practices in the textile and fashion industry, as well as challenges and future prospects.
