Textile is one of the key economic sectors of Vietnam. The textile and garment industry is moving towards the goal of 'going green' to demonstrate its social responsibility to the environment.
Greening for sustainable development
Greening the textile industry is to improve production technology in the direction of green, clean, and reduce energy use to match the global business environment. This is also a way for Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises to improve their competitiveness in the international market.
In the current trend, the world's major apparel brands - ordering partners of Vietnam's textile and garment industry - are shifting to prioritizing green businesses. Enterprises that pollute in the production process, do not apply solutions to save energy, natural resources... are at risk of being stopped receiving orders or being refused orders.

Along with that, consumers around the globe are also increasingly paying attention to the environmental responsibility of businesses when choosing products.
According to Mr. Vu Duc Giang - Chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association, the "greening" of the industry affects the environment and the sustainable development of the economy as well as the textile industry. Therefore, Vietnam's textile and garment industry needs to continue to adhere to the close cooperation relationship, sustainable development in the program of greening and saving water resources.
Enterprises "green" the textile industry like?

Businesses have invested in rooftop electricity. This is a renewable energy source that has been effectively exploited by businesses.
For large-scale textile and garment enterprises, they have focused on investing in more modern equipment such as: The boiler area providing heat for production has been replaced from oil fuel to environmentally friendly Promat fuel. identify and eliminate waste to help businesses increase profits to reduce costs, giving businesses more flexibility in the market.

The use of clean energy in the journey of "going green" helps reduce pressure on energy security, contributing to the overall goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 8% by 2030 that the Government has committed to, and helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Reduce energy consumption
For textile enterprises, the most used electricity is now fitted with LED lights to save electricity; The factory has installed a solar power system, after completion, it can generate over 20,000 kW of electricity a day, meeting about 70% of the plant's electricity demand, certified by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Green energy based on reduced CO2 emissions.
In order for workers to be conscious, before now, some companies use the workshop's speaker system to remind workers to form a habit when using electricity, these small switches have contributed to raising awareness. use electricity, reduce energy consumption in areas without production activities.

Besides, water for daily life of thousands of workers and water in production is also an expense group that needs to be managed and used effectively. According to Mr. Tran Ngo Quoc Trung - Production Manager of Quang Viet Co., Ltd:
"Save water in businesses, especially garment enterprises, need to be neatly arranged and the lid of the suitable water pressure control faucet system is chosen by many businesses, in order to prevent waste of domestic water, limit cleaning water. Domestic and production wastewater is collected for microbiological treatment and brought to the conditioning reservoir, a part is reused for industrial cleaning, and the other part is given a general system that meets standards.
Many textile enterprises, with many initiatives being applied to help reduce energy consumption, regenerate energy and aim for sustainable development are very good. Hopefully more and more Vietnamese textile enterprises can promote their responsibilities to society.
