- The Union Minister for Textiles has launched Project SURE.
- The SURE project is a commitment by India’s apparel industry to set a sustainable pathway for the Indian fashion industry.
- SURE stands for ‘Sustainable Resolution’ which means a commitment from the industry to move towards fashion that contributes to a clean environment.
- This framework would help the industry (a)reduce its carbon emissions, (b)increase resource efficiency (c)tackle waste and water management, and (d)create positive social impact to achieve long-term sustainability targets.
- According to UN,the global fashion industry is responsible for about 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions,20% of all wastewater and consumes more energy than the international aviation and shipping industries combined.
