Environmental sustainability practices in effluent management of fashion manufacturing in developing country: Insights from Bangladesh
No full textThis study examines the environmental sustainability of three textile factories in Bangladesh with varying levels of LEED certification: Platinum LEED-certified (Factory A), Gold LEED-certified (Factory B), and non-LEED-certified (Factory C). Following LEED standards for water usage and pollution control, both untreated and treated effluents were collected from these factories and subjected to chemical analysis. The findings were assessed against established limits for parameters including Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), pH, and color. Effluent samples were collected three times a month, and average values were used in the analysis. The results indicated that LEED-certified factories possess greater capacity for effective water use and treatment system design compared to non-certified factories. Significant increases in key metrics such as BOD, TSS, TDS, turbidity, and pH are recorded across all factories after ETP treatment, demonstrating the efficacy of wastewater treatment techniques. Although initial (untreated) effluent samples from all factories exceeded acceptable standards, post-treatment results for Factories A and B achieved compliance with standard parameters, while Factory C was found to require a comprehensive overhaul to meet environmental sustainability requirements. The research shows that LEED certification greatly inspires factory managers to adopt and execute sustainable practices in manufacturing, water management, and effluent treatment. It highlights the necessity of effective wastewater treatment techniques in reducing environmental impact and meeting compliance with regulations in fashion manufacturing. It also emphasizes the technical constraints faced by non-LEED-certified facilities in Bangladesh. Findings will inspire a wide range of stakeholders, including academics, researchers, and industry practitioners, to emphasize reducing the environmental effect of knit textile production. Furthermore, findings will assist industry practitioners in making viable strategic decisions to improve the environmental sustainability of fashion manufacturing
Investigating social and labor sustainability performance of fashion production facilities: a case study from developing country
No full textTo achieve the sustainable development goal (SDG), it is necessary to reduce inequalities in facilities social and labor activities and decent workplaces to ensure economic growth. While the number of the published research works on measuring the eco-indices of fashion products and facilities are plenty, no significant work has been presented on measuring the sustainability of social and labor performance. Therefore, this article investigates the social and labor sustainability performance of two fashion factories: a knit factory (Factory A) and a denim factory (Factory B). The Higg Index Facility Social and Labor Module (FSLM) by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) were applied to measure the scores. Three (3) sections in the Facility Module-Social and Labor were considered. Section 1 offers factory performance values out of 391 for (a) recruitment and hiring, (b) compensation, (c) working hours, (d) employee engagement and communication, (e) employee treatment and development, (f) health and pay, and (g) termination and retrenchment. Section 2 offers a performance values score 125 points in the Facility's Labor and Workplace Performance Management for the Value Chain. Section 3 indicates values out of 78 on (a) external participation and cooperation, (b) community effect, and (3) transparency and public disclosure. Based on qualitative short questionnaires, data were generated for each sub-section of FSLM. The result shows high-level to low-level performance scores for both factories covering a diverse aspect. Overall social performance score achieved for both factory cases was 384 (factory A) and 394 (factory B) out of a total of 594. Among these, section 1 provides scores of 264 (factory A) and 275 (factory B); section B provides value score 80 and 79, and section 3 give scores 40 and 40 in both facility cases, respectively. The study reveals technical, managerial, and contextual limitations on social and labor performance in both knit and denim factories. The findings have important theoretical and practical implications and could be extended to other fashion production facilities across the fashion supplier countries. Overall, findings will help fashion stakeholders, especially factory practitioners, brands, retailers, academics, and researchers, to reformulate their strategic approaches and current practices to improve social and labor performances. We suggest factory practitioners, including academics and researchers, focus on how to improve the factory working environment, social issues and other disparities in order to drive the fashion industry to be more sustainable across the multi-tier supply chain
Drivers of fashion overconsumption: a systematic literature review
No full textThe trend of fashion overconsumption has intensified in recent years (Marques et al., 2020). Overconsumption is defined as “buying fashion items irresponsibly or in excessive amounts, leading to negative consequences (Hakansson, 2014; Pan, 2019).” It harms consumers, society, and the environment (Gadhavi & Sahni, 2020; Xiao & Nicholson, 2013), and significantly contributes to a throwaway culture, exploitative labor practices, resource scarcity and harmful materials use, which degrade the environment (Atik et al., 2022; Ciornea, 2020; Ullah et al., 2021). Stakeholders including, manufacturers, designers, suppliers, retailers, and consumers are encouraged to reduce overconsumption for sustainability (Weber & Weber, 2022). Despite studies on the sharing economy and collaborative consumption, drivers of fashion overconsumption remain unexplored (Belk, 2014; Schor & Fitzmaurice, 2015; Carol Cavender, 2018). This study aims to identify the factors that drive fashion overconsumption and analyze their relationship to overconsumption behavior using a conceptual framework. Key research purpose include: To identify the key drivers of fashion overconsumption.To examine the relationships between driving factors and overconsumption behavior.To develop a conceptual framework illustrating these relationships towards sustainable fashion consumption.Findings reveals that understanding overconsumption is key to promoting sustainable practices in fashion consumption patterns. SOR theory provides insight into the complex drivers behind fashion overconsumption. Raising stakeholder awareness especially the consumers is pivotal for fostering sustainable fashion consumption and shifting consumer perspectives can help mitigate the impact of overconsumption. The findings benefits industry practitioners to implement more sustainable practices that benefit environment and stakeholders through mitigating the impact of overconsumption. <br/
Kedudukan Ahli Waris Pengganti Dalam Hukum Waris Islam
No full textAbstrakHukum Waris Islam disebut juga Hukum Faraidz, yang bersumber kepada al Quran dan hadist. Bagi setiap muslim tidak terkecuali apakah dia laki – laki atau perempuan yang tidak mengerti hukum waris Islam, maka wajib baginya untuk mempelajari hukum waris Islam. Dan sebaliknya, siapa yang telah memahami hukum waris Islam, berkewajiban pula untuk mengajarkannya kepada orang lain. Dalam mengerjakan pembagian harta warisan menurut hukum waris Islam, harus melalui tahapan – tahapan yang benar. Apabila tahapan – tahapannya telah benar, maka bagaimana pun rumitnya akan dapat segera diselesaikan. Penulis berpendapat, ketentuan tentang harta warisan yang terdapat di dalam Al Quran dan hadist adalah ketentuan hukum yang bersifat memaksa, dan karenanya wajib bagi setiap pribadi muslim untuk melaksanakannya. Topik yang penulis angkat adalah tentang kedudukan pewaris pengganti. Kasus yang terjadi seorang perempuan meninggal dunia sebelum harta peninggalan orang tuanya di bagi. Oleh karena itu anak perempuannya mengajukan gugatan ke Pengadilan Agama untuk menuntut hak ibunya. Menurut Kompilasi Hukum Islam Pasal 178 ayat 2, pasal 181,182 dan pasal 185 KHI mengatakan ahli waris pengganti dibatasi pada ahli waris berdasarkan hubungan darah dalam keturunan garis lurus kebawah hingga derajat cucu, dan ahli waris laki – laki dapat diduduki baik oleh anak laki – laki maupun perempuan. Maka majelis Hakim menetapkan bagian ahli waris M.Nur Syafii dan Umi Kalsum sebagai berikut : 1. Nur Syahril (anak laki –laki) mendapat 2/7 bagian; 2. Nur Syahrul (anak laki –laki) mendapat 2/7 bagian; 3. Nur Syahruddin (anak laki – laki) mendapat 2/7 bagian. 4.Tengku Deka Sari (cucu dari anak perempuan/ahli waris pengganti) mendapat 1/7 bagian.Kata Kunci : Hukum Waris Islam, Ahli Waris Pengganti AbstractIslamic Inheritance Law is also called Faraidz Law, which is sourced from the Koran and Hadith. For every Muslim, whether he is a man or a woman who does not understand Islamic inheritance law, it is obligatory for him to study Islamic inheritance law. And conversely, who has understood Islamic inheritance law, is also obliged to teach it to others. In doing the division of inheritance according to Islamic inheritance law, must go through the right stages. If the stages have been correct, then no matter how complicated it will be resolved immediately. The author is of the opinion that the provisions regarding inheritance contained in the Qur'an and hadith are legal provisions that are coercive, and therefore obligatory for every Muslim individual to implement them. The topic that the author raises is about the position of the successor heir. The case that a woman died before the inheritance of her parents was divided. Therefore, her daughter filed a lawsuit to the Religious Court to claim her mother's rights. According to the Compilation of Islamic Law Article 178 paragraph 2, Article 181.182 and Article 185 of the KHI, it is stated that substitute heirs are limited to heirs based on blood relations in straight line descent to the degree of grandchildren, and male heirs can be occupied by both sons and daughters. woman. So the panel of judges determined the share of the heirs of M. Nur Syafii and Umi Kalsum as follows: 1. Nur Syahril (boy) gets 2/7 shares; 2. Nur Syahrul (boy) gets 2/7 shares; 3. Nur Syahruddin (boy) gets 2/7 shares. 4. Tengku Deka Sari (grandson of daughter/substitute heir) gets 1/7 share.Keywords: Islamic Inheritance Law, Substitute Hei
Environmental sustainability of fashion product made from post-consumer waste: impact across the life cycle
No full textThe fashion industry has a detrimental environmental impact throughout its supply chain operations that needs immediate attention. Limited work focuses on measuring the environmental sustainability of clothing products made from post-consumer waste in the circular economy. This research aims to evaluate the environmental sustainability of fashion products made from post-consumer waste using the Higg Index tool developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition. Three t-shirt manufacturers—namely factory A (LEED certified), factory B (non-LEED certified), and factory C (Sub-contract) were considered as case studies. Data were collected through practice-based qualitative questions to manufacturing practitioners, which were supplemented by triangulations, and scores were obtained using the Higg Index product environmental sustainability tool. The findings highlight significant variations in most subsection analyses for product environment sustainability dimensions, scoring 369.5 (73.9%), 277.6 (55.5%), and 153.5 (30.7%) out of 500 by factories A, B, and C, respectively. Findings reveal significant differences in scores (from low to high) for the three t-shirt manufacturers. Various subsections revealed deficiencies in actual policies including product design, materials selection, manufacturing operations, and priorities regarding subcategories. Products made in a green factory and embracing the circular economy achieved the highest score, while the sub-contractor factory product obtained the lowest score. Findings highlight poor and emerging sustainable practices, identify challenges, and suggest improvement in the above-mentioned categories. The research urges stakeholders to embrace sustainable practices for fashion products to reduce environmental impact through life cycle stages and benefit the industry
