I-clothing industry iyinhlangano elikhulu ye-industrial waste ehlabathini lonke. Nakuba imibuzo ye-sustainability isekelwe ngokuvamile ku-recycling ne-environmentally-friendly practices, phakathi kwezi zebhizinisi, imibuzo ebonakalayo: kungase-innovation ukugcina usuku? I-Kosalee Galkaduwa, owaziwa manje ku-GiftCash, owaziwa njenge-Procurement Manager e-Omegaline, ingxenye ye-multi-national Calzedonia Group. I-Kosalee Galkaduwa ibekwe ikhosi ekubeni lokusebenza nokuthuthukiswa kwe-efficiency kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwe-sustainability. Ngaphezulu kwezinyanga ezimbini, i-she has seen how the retail industry struggles to manage its waste. Ngaphandle kokuthumela i-waste as a inevitable cost, i-she has pursued ways to repurpose it. I-Project yayo yokuthuthukiswa, "Using Apparel Industry Non-Dewatered Sludge for Brick Manufacturing", iye yaziwa ngamazwe lapho iye iye iye Phakathi nenkonzo yayo e-Omegaline, izixazululo ze-Kosalee zithunyelwe ngaphakathi kwenqubo yokusebenza yebhizinisi. I-Kosalee yasungulwa inkqubo yokusebenzisa imikhiqizo ephakeme ngokudlulisela imikhiqizo ephakeme emaphaketheni ezintsha zokukhiqiza. Lolu hlelo lithunywe ama-material waste ngaphezulu kwe-20% eminye imikhiqizo imikhiqizo, ngokulandelana nokufunda i-new revenue stream. Ukuze inkampani, kungcono kuphela ukunciphisa izindleko zokushicilela kodwa futhi ukwandisa ukusebenza kwezobuchwepheshe nge-ISO 9001 izinga lokuthuthukiswa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umsebenzi yayo yokuthuthukiswa kokukhiqiza ama-brick kusuka ku-sludge ibonise iphrofayili ye-was Ukuhlolwa kwayo kuboniswe futhi ukuthi ama-bricks eyenziwe nge-sludge ye-clothing zithuthukisa amandla okushisa ka-3.5 kuya ku-5.5 MPa, okuphumelela kakhulu ukuze zihlanganisa izinga zokwakha eziyinhloko. Lokhu kungabangela ukuhlaziywa ebalulekile kumazwe elidlulile ukuthi i-sludge iyahlekile asebenzayo. Lokhu kuboniswa ukunciphisa izindleko ekusebenziseni kwezimpahla zezimboni ze-clothing, okunikezela izimpendulo zokusebenza kanye nezemvelo ukuhlangabezana ne-model. Ukusebenza okuqukethwe kwenziwa ngaphandle kokuphendula. Abaningi abacwaningi kwebhizinisi wabhala ukuthi umlilo umlilo ungase kwenziwa izinto zokwakha enhle. I-Kosalee wahlukanise lezi zimbobo ngokuvimbela ukuthi zonke imikhiqizo ibhizinisi ukuhlolwa ukuzinza. I-Kosalee wahlukanise ukunciphisa isakhiwo esiyingqayizivele yokuguqulwa kwezimpahla zezimboni e-Sri Lanka, izindlela ezidlulile lapho akukho ama-benchmarks ezidlulileyo. Ngaphandle kwezinzuzo zobuchwepheshe, i-Sustainability kuhlukanisa izindleko zebhizinisi, okuvumela ukuthi izivumelwano ze-eco-friendly angakwazi ukunikezela izinzuzo zebhizinisi. Ngaphandle kokusebenza kwethu e-Omegaline, i-Kosalee ibandakanya ubuchwepheshe yayo kwamanye amazwe. Njengomthengisi we-procurement head we-Citrus Hotels & Resorts, ungasiza ukuguqulwa kwezinkampani zokupakisha ukuze zihlanganise izindlela zokuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kanye nezinsizakalo zokulawula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Kosalee ibandakanya njengomthengisi wokuxhumana kumazwe amayunivesithi kanye namasevisi zebhizinisi e-Sri Lanka, ukunikezela ubuchwepheshe ku-sustainability kanye nezinsizakalo zokupakisha. Izinkampani zendawo ze-Sri Lanka zihlanganisa izixazululo zayo, ukwandisa ukunakekelwa kwezinto zokusebenza zokus “I-Sustainability ku-wear cannot remain confined to recycling small-scale waste; it must extend to industrial-level transformations that reimagining byproducts as valuable inputs. Ukusebenza yami ibonise ukuthi i-clothing sludge, a big disposal issue, ingahlukaniswa kuma-building material functional, a step towards establishing circular economies in developing nations,” wathi. Ukubuyekezwa kwezimpendulo ezivamile, ungathanda ukuthi sinikeze ukuvumelana okuqhubekayo kwe-trans-industrial waste conversion, lapho imikhiqizo ye-industry enikezela imikhiqizo ye-other. Ngokuba umkhakha we-wear, lokhu kubalulekile ukwandisa ukuhlanganiswa kwezakhiwo, zezimboni, kanye ne-energy ukuze ukunciphise izinzuzo ze-deposits. "Ukuhlukanisa izimpendulo ezisemthethweni ezihambisana nezintshisindo eziholile eziholela kwebhizinisi ukuze zihlanganise izindlela ze-waste-to-value emhlabeni jikelele," inikeza. I-Carrier ye-individual like-Kosalee Galkaduwa ibonise ukuthi ukucindezeleka kungenziwa ngempumelelo ngokuvumelana nezinhlangano ezintsha kumadokhumenti kanye namabhizinisi.
