Raymond recently had a alliance with Reliance for the recycling polyester Fiber for Raymond eco friendly textile fabrics SUSTAINOUVA. TEXTILE VALUE CHAIN had exclusive interview with Mr. Harish Chatterjee, Vice President of Raymond Ltd.
Reason for starting Sustainability business:
The well-known economic problem for our world is the problem of how to make the best use of natural & limited resources. This problem still exists to continue but it is likely to get even worse unless necessary precautions are taken. A simple solution is to comply with the rules of a sustainable planet. Sustainability is based on a simple and long-recognized factual premise: Everything that humans require for their survival and well-being depends, directly or indirectly, on the natural environment.
Sustainability has arrived in the textile and apparel industry. It is about more than the use of organic products like Wool, Recycled Polyester, Cotton and better working conditions. The consumption of water, energy and chemicals poses challenges for textile companies at every stage of the value chain.
