Eco Textile Factories

Many clothing retail companies have began to introduce new green factories in order to be more more environmentally friendly.
M&S as an example openend one in central Sri Lanka in 2008.
It includes :

  • Energy saving devices e.g. solar panels
  • Waste reduction processes
  • Healthy working environment
It is made with mainly eco bricks and uses 40% less electricity and saves up to 50% of water a normal garment factory would use. It also provides a holistic medical centre for all 1300 of its workers. 


This is all part of M&S PLAN A initiative.

This is something i believe everyone should aim to do in the near future no matter the expense.
