Why are Sustainable Textile
Services a necessity in the
apparel supply chain?


Because of 3 Common Failures
found in today’s apparel supply
chain


Wrong Color
Comes from…
 the color management process not done properly

Results in…
 the color in the store is very different than the original
inspiration
 improper color communication from Designer to
Vendor and Textile Mill
 lost time
 lost money
 lost sales in the store

 eliminate restricted substances at the color creation
step
 educate the supply chain on best practices for color
communication
 provide checks and balances for the color
development process
 provide supply chain discipline


Damage to Brand Integrity
Risk comes from…
 a lengthy, fragmented supply chain
 restricted substances on the garments or in
waste streams
 NGOs and public groups are demanding
corporate social responsibility
 social media communicating issues rapidly and
globally

Results in…
 value loss to investors and shareholders
 Financial loss through product recall and brand
impairment

 develop and implement RSLs
 educate the supply chain on best practices for chemical & environmental management
 provide checks and balances for handling chemicals & environmental management
 establish and maintain sustainability initiatives
 provide supply chain discipline

Unhappy Customer
Comes from…
 returns due to quality, such as fastness and color loss after multiple
washes, etc.
 presence of toxic chemicals on the garments, resulting in allergic
reactions

As a result….
 one unhappy customer can have significant impact
through social media

 avoid restricted substances from getting to the consumer
 educate the supply chain on Color Confidence® and
econfidence®
 provide solutions to minimize failures
 establish the proper testing protocols to minimize failures
 keep your customers happy

Mill Improvement Project
We set up key performance indicators with textile mills to track the
performance in the areas of desired improvement.

The table below shows the actual results:

% Reduction
Mill Key Performance Indicator (within 9 months)
Water Consumption (Liter/Kg of Fabric) -25%
Redyeing (%) -23%
Centre to Selvedge problem (%) -80%
Waste Production (metric tons) -46%

The majority of these reductions were achieved within the first two months!

Note: Actual results from a CPB dye-house producing 1,500,000 meters of fabric per month production of cellulosic material

RSL Development Project
DyStar has released several recommendations for Brands &
Retailers, Industry organizations and specific product groups, to support
sustainable textile production that is meeting quality and eco-requirements


Chemical Management Improvement Project
We performed an assessment on identified textile mills and their level of
compliance to a specific Brand RSL to identify current status and areas of
desired improvement.

The chart below shows actual results:

Note: Actual results from Mill Compliance to Brand RSL

Environmental Improvement Project
We set up key performance indicators to assess the textile mill’s current
process and compared this to an ideal process to show the possibilities for
reduction of the environmental footprint of a textile mill.

The following tables show the actual saving differences:

Thanks to " Expert Solutions ", they have not only re educated our personnel to understand the
intricacies of dyeing, but also made them aware of the coloration technology with Vat as well as
Reactive dyes. (…) Although our cost of dyes and chemicals has more or less remained the same

increase in production are in themselves of a tremendous savings to us."
