Cotton Brazil

20 September 2022, Mumbai:

Brazil is the world’s largest supplier of socially and environmentally certified cotton.

A story whose origin dates to 2005, when the Brazilian Cotton Growers Association (Abrapa) started a regional initiative to develop its Brazilian cotton sustainability program, the “Responsible Brazilian Cotton” (ABR).

With more efficient and certified farms, Brazil has been increasing the quality indicators of its lint year after year.

In the 2021 crop, when Brazil produced more than 2.3 million tons of lint, 84% of all national production was certified – an all-time record.

In addition to being the fourth largest cotton grower in the world and the second largest lint exporter, Brazil also ranks number one in certified cotton exports.

The indicators used in the Brazilian program also include guidelines adopted by the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI). Producer adherence to the ABR Program has increased year by year.”

Another distinguishing factor is the series of environmental assets generated by Brazilian cotton production methods.

Sustainabilty meets competitiveness

16 September 2022, Mumbai:

The European textiles industry statement on the energy package: more and more incisive actions need to be taken with no further delay.

Last month, when gas wholesale prices reached the record level of 340€/MWh– triggering also sky-high electricity prices – the European textiles industry called on the European Union to adopt a wholesale price cap for gas.

The European associations representing the whole textiles’ ecosystem,  welcome these proposals by the Commission.

An ambitious and meaningful European price cap on the wholesale price of natural gas is absolutely necessary.

Already in March 2022, with EU gas wholesale prices at 200€/MWh, the business case for keeping textiles production was no longer there.

The man-made fibres (MMF) industry for instance is an energy-intensive sector and a major consumer of natural gas and electricity in the manufacturing of its fibres.

The textile services sector is also struggling: with the critical nature of the service they provide, they require a considerable amount of energy to keep services.

Given the dire international competition in which the EU textiles industry operates, it is not possible to just pass on the increased costs to consumers.
