The journey of clothes we use from the farm to ourselves (flow chart)
Answers
Answer:
Journey of our clothes
Explanation:
We often think,how is a dress made?
What material must have been used to make a fabric?
There are 5 major stages in the lifecycle of any garment: material, production, shipping, use and disposal. Let's follow a cotton t-shirt through its lifecycle, one step at a time.
The material phase of the lifecycle involves farming, irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting and ginning. While cotton is a natural fiber and ultimately not as harmful to the environment as manmade fibers like polyester, it still takes a toll in the material and production.
Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the production phase: spinning, knitting, wet process, bleaching, dyeing, confection, cutting and sewing -- these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants and can ultimately contaminate groundwater.
After the t-shirt is produced, it enters the transportation phase where it is shipped to distribution warehouses and retail outlets. Often times this involves overseas shipping.
