Summary

Researchers examined waste disposal management practices in the textile industry using Gul Ahmed as a case study, investigating how waste disposal methods, green supply chain practices, and waste reduction strategies relate to company productivity through a mixed-methods correlational design combining questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews. The study aimed to quantify the relationships between environmental management variables and operational performance in textile manufacturing.

The objective is to determine how the disposal of Waste, GSCP, and WR affected the company's productivity. The study used a correlational design to examine the relationships between variables. Furthermore, the study was descriptive, and data were acquired using various methods (qualitative and quantitative). In addition, the study's quantitative component was a questionnaire-based survey, and its qualitative component was a series of in-depth interviews with key individuals. A Likert scale questionnaire was used to gather the research's primary data, while the secondary data was gathered through reviewing previous articles. The data gathered was then measured using a statistical technique and the SPSS software. The study concluded that Waste and WR disposal is significant, but GSCP has an insignificant impact on the company's productivity. Furthermore, waste directly impacts human development, both socially and technologically. Waste management is distinct from resource recovery, which is concerned with lowering the pace at which natural resources are used. All waste materials, whether solid, liquid, gaseous, or radioactive, are included in WM. WM practices might differ across developed and emerging countries, urban and rural areas, industrial producers, and residential areas.

Combining Flexible and Sustainable Design Principles for Evaluating Designs: Textile Recycling Application

Researchers developed a framework combining flexible and sustainable design principles to evaluate textile recycling technologies. The study addresses the growing environmental burden of textile waste in the U.S., where over 15 million tons are discarded annually with less than 15% recycled, contributing to microplastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed evaluation method aims to help identify recycling approaches that are both economically viable and environmentally responsible.
