H&M group joins the United Nation's Better Than Cash Alliance

Today, many factory workers in the textile supply chain are paid entirely in cash. This means unsafe, time consuming and inefficient procedures for both employees and employers. Even though the people working in our supply chain are not our own employees, we take responsibility on how our products are made and this partnership with the United Nations has great potential to improve the livelihoods of the workers.  
By joining the Better Than Cash Alliance, the H&M group will encourage its suppliers to pay their workers through digital channels, such as bank accounts, cards or mobile money. Shifting to digital payments at our suppliers' factories will mean offering a faster, safer and more transparent way to receive their salary. It will also increase financial inclusion and will support women's economic independence by better control of their own income. From the suppliers' perspective, it will enhance transparency and provide more accurate data on their wage management systems.

"H&M group is taking a bold step in recognizing how cash-heavy supply chains limit efforts to empower workers and prevent companies from increasing transparency. And it's inefficient. H&M group's leadership will help inspire other companies in the industry, and beyond, to make the shift to digital payments and contribute to inclusive growth, as well as to the Sustainable Development Goals, in emerging markets."

"Bangladesh producing eco-friendly jeans"

Bangladesh has 67 garments factories already that have the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) certificates and around 220 garments factories are in the pipeline to get the LEED certificates soon. The information was revealed to The Independent by the founder of Denimsandjeans, Sandeep Agarwal.

LEED provides green building certificates worldwide. This shows that keeping environmental sustainability in mind, Bangladesh is building more Eco-friendly factories.

Agarwal was speaking to The Independent at the seventh edition of ‘Denim sand jeans Bangladesh’, an exposition of jeans products, which concluded in Dhaka on Thursday.

Asked about the importance of green factories, Agarwal replied that making the factories Eco-friendly has become more important worldwide because the planet is turning out to be more vulnerable for its inhabitants by the day.

Bangladesh earns around EUR 1.3 billion every year by exporting denim jeans and stands number one in the European market. This shows the massive opportunities that lie in building more green factories that will produce denim jeans in a sustainable, environment-friendly and productive manner, he added.
A Spanish company, Jeanologia, which has participated in the Denim sand jeans expo, specialists in the development of sustainable technologies for garments. The company presented its new ‘e-flow technology’.

This correspondent asked the project manager of Jeanologia, Fabien Liautard, about the working pattern of ‘e-flow technology’. He replied that the traditional method is to wash functional denim fabrics in water. E-flow technology uses air and has basically two different parts: laser and eco.

“e-flow technology gets the air from the atmosphere and transforms it into nano-bubbles. These bubbles consume minimum proportions of water and functional elements that are not harmful for the environment,” Liautard said.

The marketing officer of Jeanologia, Kazi Nahidul Alam, said that by using e-flow technology, an exact amount of chemicals are used on denim jeans and none of it is wasted. So, there is no chance of emitting excess chemicals that are harmful to the environment.

He explained that the traditional method needs 1,800 liters of water to wash 100 kg of denim garments, while the e-flow method uses only 30 liters of water to wash 100 kg of denim jeans.

He also added that e-flow technology saves 1,770 litres of water compared to the traditional method. It is entirely sustainable and environment-friendly for the product.

Envoy Textiles Ltd is a renowned denim jeans manufacturer in Bangladesh. It has got the Platinum award from LEED.

Envoy marketing manager Asif Wares Khan told this correspondent that Envoy uses a water treatment plant to wash the denim fabrics. “It is a modern technology. It recycles water and is not hazardous for the environment,” he said.

Product sustainability is the prime concern for any manufacturing industry, especially readymade garments, because it emphasises environmental, social and economic benefits without harming the environment. It gets product benefits too.

The event manager and cofounder of Denim sand jeans Bangladesh, Rubaiyat Ahsan, said that natural dyes derived from plants, invertebrates or minerals are being used to dye denim fabrics in Bangladesh for quite some time.

“This discharges less emission and is not harmful for the environment at all,” Ahsan added.
Rubaiyat also told The Independent that in the near future, the export market of denim jeans would exceed the market of the woven fabric because the price of woven products is not increasing as compared with denim fabrics or jeans.

Garment factories like Ha-Meem Group, Shasha Denims Ltd, and Envoy Group produce top-quality denim jeans in Bangladesh and export these, said Ahsan.

According to Denim sand jeans officials, Bangladesh is the second largest jeans exporter in the world after China. Currently, 29 renowned mills are producing denim jeans in Bangladesh.

Around 28 companies from Bangladesh, Turkey, India, China, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Pakistan, Hong Kong, among others, participated in the expo to showcase their denims, fabrics and latest accessories.

 

 

"Denim Expo Bangladesh" focuses on denim trends

The 7th Denim sand jeans Bangladesh exhibition has begun in Bangladesh. It provides a platform where the global denim community comes together with an objective to share, interact and to establish future transactions with suppliers from the country. The two-day trade event has been organized with an aim to attract buyers to Bangladesh from around the world.

The theme of this expo is 'Denim Mashup', a youth-centric denim theme especially for young women. The trend brings the fun-feel of the 90s, complete with all over embellishment, shredding and chain details, embroideries, exaggerated proportions, quilted surfaces, fabric mixes and more.

Denim Mashup has been a subtle trend over many years and it is being revived across multiple brands worldwide. Luxury brands like Gucci to fast fashion retailers like Zara and H&M, are taking it up as the next cool denim trend in 2017, said the press release.

"Bangladesh is the fastest growing denim destinations globally for sourcing fabrics and has been growing exponentially and quickly rising up the value chain," said Sandeep Agarwal, founder of Denim sand jeans.com.

As many as 28 companies belonging to various countries including Bangladesh, India, China, Turkey, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Hong Kong and Pakistan are participating in the expo to showcase their unique denim products.

Informative seminars, live presentations, panel discussions and workshops on global denim innovations are being held at the two-day show.

Denim sand jeans has a selection of highly-respected denim-mills as participants and size of the show has been limited to maintain exclusivity.
