Quick student answer
Which of the following methods can help minimize waste in textile manufacturing?
Direct answer
Implementing a zero-waste design approach helps to minimize waste by ensuring that every part of the fabric is used in the final product.
Key terms
- Sustainability: The ability to maintain ecological balance by avoiding depletion of natural resources.
- Circular economy: An economic system aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources through recycling and reuse.
Common trap
