The Clothing Supply Chain: From High Fashion Runway to Landfill!

Food Waste and World Hunger – The Food Supply Chain is Broken!

Every 3-6 months my wife and I accumulate a bag full of clothing that we no longer wear. We take it to the local Goodwill or Salvation Army. In our minds we believe that we are contributing to help those who want gently used clothing. We didn’t realize we were a part of the Clothing supply chain.

I expect that many of you do the same. You either make donations to these or similar institutions or you avail yourself of used or second hand items that are for sale at numerous outlets.

There is an extraordinary amount of time and money spent on new clothing. But only a small portion of that ends up being recycled and repurposed. In the U.S. alone over 2.5 Billion pounds of textile waste is generated each year and 85% of that goes into landfills!

And did you know that the clothing and textile industry is the second largest polluter in the world?

What exactly is happening in the Clothing Supply Chain?

Shipping Containers! More than just a Box! (Infographic)

International trade depends on shipping, with over 80% of goods elated by sea. While it supports the cheap shipping harms the environment. It produces about 1,000 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. This accounts for roughly 3% of worldwide emissions.

The Global Maritime Group warns that emissions could surge by 50% by 2050 without significant action.

As we move towards 2025 sustainable answers are important. Tracking shipping containers optimizes logistics, minimizes waste and helps reduce releases. Integrating IoT devices actual data and AI analytics allows businesses to make ecological shipping decisions. This eventually reduces carbon emissions.
