Turkey’s Textile and Raw Materials Exporters’ Association has teamed up with the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) to launch a sustainability plan they hope will boost export market share by reducing environmental impact on production.

Through the Sustainability Action Plan, the two industry associations are aiming to provide a “permanent transformation” and comply with the European Green Agreement norms at a high level.

TİM chairman İsmail Gülle said: “I invite all our industrialists, manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters to a production approach that prioritizes nature and the environment. Let us renew the old infrastructure of our factories, separate the infrastructure of washing and dyeing water, recycle the washing water, expand the technologies that use less water in washing and dyeing, reduce the share of fossil fuels in production as much as possible.”
