"The fashion industry is the second largest polluting industry in the world, generating 8kg of CO2 and 2,700 liters of water per garment produced. Clothing represents over 60% of total textile usage, yet more than two-thirds of approximately 57 million tons of waste are generated (17.5 kg per capita equivalent). ""Every second, an entire garbage truck full of textile waste is directed to landfills or incinerators"". The world economy could gain as much as €160 billion annually if the fashion industry could successfully redirect waste to wealth.
Rodinia automated clothing manufacturing process supported by our CME software enables manufacturers to adjust their production to real demand by reducing drastically production lead times while offering no lowest limits in production-size (volume). Overproduction will never again be an issue (overproduction accounts for 45 billion garments per year) and will facilitate a reduction in clothing waste. In addition, 0% water and no toxic chemicals are used in the production process.
The EU Member States imported clothes worth €166 billion in 2018; and €84 billion came from non-EU Member States. With Rodinia, we can bring fashion production closer to home – to be produced where the actual demand is. Automation is the key to make it a reality as companies can now compete due to increased productivity, shorter lead times, more transparent supply chains thus taking into account the rising labour cost in the current low labour cost countries. Rodinia is therefore enabling a new paradigm in the history of fashion: sustainable, ultra-fast (just-in-time), and nearshore production."
