Environmental protection is imminent
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe said to the public that the production of a cotton shirt requires about 2,700 liters of water, the production of a pair of jeans requires about 7,500 liters of water, while a person's annual drinking water is only about 1,000 liters. At present, the textile and apparel industry has become the second largest water-consuming industry in the world, and the amount of wastewater produced each year accounts for about 20% of the global wastewater volume. In addition, the greenhouse gas emissions from the textile and apparel industry have exceeded the total emissions from international flights and shipping.
