Abstract: The world is on the verge of an impending crisis of textile waste, brought about as a result of the combined effects of a rising global population, burgeoning living standards and the shorter lifecycle of textile products. Textile recycling is the answer to help combat the enormous amount of waste created by the fashion and textile industries. While this is crucial to the growth of the textile waste recycling industry, practical and actionable interim solutions are still necessary. Textile waste is a significant stain on human life from both economic and environmental perspectives. From raw materials to finished products, clothing production from natural or synthetic sources can play a role in pollution and waste generation. This review article analyzes the economic and environmental implications of the fashion and textile industries. It assesses these waste recovery technologies and techniques, as well as the recycling at various stages of production and the use of the resulting recycled products. The recycling processes for textile waste have made some notable advances; however, some gaps remain unaddressed. Challenges include multi-scaler industrialization, waste treatment and separation processes, as well as waste contamination, such as mixed chemicals. And greater awareness is needed among consumers of the value of fiber-to-fiber recycling, as technological progress in this field has not matched its need. On the whole, this article is a good resource to gain a sense of the current landscape of recycling and recovery in textiles, clothing, and fashion.

Abstract Over the last three decades, the textile and apparel (T&A) sector has been the primary engine of economic growth in Bangladesh. The (T&A) industry’s widening contribution led the country to sustained economic growth, reduced poverty and increase in per capita income. Thanks to its competitive edge a large pool of cheap labor, easy access to power, and a huge job creation potential the (T&A) sector has become the most thriving industry in Bangladesh to date. But the pursuit of rapid economic growth has resulted in the explosion and hasty construction of textile factories and enterprises. The growing textile enterprises, most of which are concentrated in a few places, is taking a heavy toll on the nation's human health. ecosystems, that the environment as a whole. Thus, it is essential to approach the burgeoning threat of environmental deterioration, in a sustainable manner, which achieves a balance between (T&A) industrial development and inflicts the least possible trauma on the environment and human health. That’s because the nation’s biggest money-maker and job-creator has become one of its biggest polluters. This paper will analyze the root causes behind Bangladesh’s poorly managed T and A sector and its negative impacts on environment and human health and will mention some possible solutions to improve the environmental performance of this sector and ensure its safe development.

Abstract The goal of the present study is to probe into the essential role of transformational leadership and diversity in culture for the successful implementation of business models aiming at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP).Inclusive businesses seek to alleviate poverty. This is done by integrating people from BOP backgrounds as consumers, suppliers, or distributors of companies producing goods; it cares for economic empowerment and social fairness. This research uses transformational leadership theory and cultural dimensions theory for its analysis. Leadership practices are measured, as well the impact of cultural sensitivity on ways in which people access goods and services, their level of employment or income. The results show that transformational leaderships significantly improve results: for example, transformational leadership's dimensions such as inclusiveness, innovation and transformation (enterprise). The study offers guidance to entrepreneurs and policymakers. It emphasizes the need for sustainable, scalable strategies in order to demonstrate that the economic and social impact of Inclusive business initiatives can be maximized to pay off.
