SUSTAINABILITY - Coggle Diagram
SUSTAINABILITY
resource consumption and production
plant fibers
can be sustainably produced
finishing processes are not always necessary
production/farming methods can be adapted to consume less energy
production methods can be adapted to consume less water
can be sustainably sourced
refurbish deadstock plant fiber
recycle plant fiber from existing garment
food production
meat industry
can be adapted to use less resources
mass farming is detrimental
certain parts of the current meat production industry cannot be made sustainable
vegetable industry
can be adapted to use less resources
buying from farmers markets/ local produce suppliers reduces the impact of transportation
mass farming is detrimental
grain industry
can be adapted to use less resources
mass farming is detrimental
fruit industry
can be adapted to use less resources
buying seasonal fruits will help prevent the usage of energy/fuel in fruit transportation
over farming has detrimental effects on the environment
synthetic fibers
can be sustainably sourced
refurbish synthetic fibers from deadstock materials
recycle synthetic fibers from existing garments
sustainable production may be difficult
synthetic fibers originate from natural sources
sourcing the natural resources which are manufactured into synthetic fibers utilizes lots of resources (water/energy)
the manufacturing processes that make natural resources into synthetic fibers utilize a lot of resources (water /energy)
protein fiber
can be sustainably sourced
recycle protein fibers from existing garments
refurbish deadstock protein fiber
sustainable production may be difficult
finishing processes are often more complicated/take more resources
more resources used in farming protein fiber( silk, leather, wool etc) than in farming plant fibers
water
consumption
over use/waste
can occur in personal households
can occur in the textile industry
methodically planned usage/consumption
takes more thought/time
high environmental reward
recycling
filteration
re-use
energy
renewable
any amount of energy consumption= no detrimental effects the environment
can be used by corporations
can be used by individual households
can be used by manufacturing facilities
high environmental reward
non-renewable
any amount of energy consumption= detrimental to the environment
is currently more accessible for individual households
is currently more accessible for corporations
is currently more accessible for manufacturers
manual labor
can be sustainable
amount of individuals working in an enviroment is healthy
wages are livable
employees are healthy and cared for
physically healthy
mentally healthy
employees rights are established and maintained
can be unsustainable
when a working environment is overcrowded /unsafe/unhealthy
mentally unhealthy
physically unhealthy
when an establishment underpays its employees
as a result individuals cannot afford basic necessities
as a result poverty accumulates
when the rights of employees are violated
