Cooling fabrics refer to a type of fabric that has the ability to react quickly to body heat and interact with body temperature to keep the body temperature at a reasonable level during hot weather and physical activity. These fabrics are engaged in manufacturing cooling fabrics The main types of cooling fabrics are synthetic cooling fabrics and natural cooling fabrics. Synthetic cooling fabrics are manufactured using synthetic fibres such as polyester, spandex, and nylon. Synthetic fabrics are considered more suitable for outdoor sports activities as it regulates the body temperature of the wearer through their superior evaporative characteristics. Natural cooling fabrics are manufactured using natural fibres like cotton, chambray and linen which allows for airflow and circulation in and out of the fabric. The various types of textile include woven, nonwoven, knitted, and others. The cooling fabrics are used in different areas including sports apparel, lifestyle, protective wearing, and others.

The scarcity of raw material and labour in the cooling fabrics industry has led to an increase in retail prices lowering the demand for these apparel. Retailers limited the order of garments that required scarce raw material, as they had to pay a higher price. For example, in India, the low availability of cotton due to low water availability, high incidence of pest attacks, and inadequate southwest monsoon compelled the retailers to increase the prices of cotton apparel as they had to pay a higher price to the manufacturers for procurement. This increase in prices affected the demand for cotton, which in turn impacted the natural cooling fabric manufacturing market. Major firms in the cooling fabrics industry are focused on developing technologically advanced solutions for cooling fabrics. For instance, in December 2020, Brrr, a cooling fabric innovator, launched the Brrr Pro, an innovative performance textile with improved cooling fibres loaded with micro cooling minerals, as well as hyper wicking and quality drying, all of which operate together to enhance the triple chill effect for optimal comfort and a unique experience.

The global ethical fashion market size is expected to grow to $11.12 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.0%. The growing awareness of the adverse effects of the textile industry on the environment is encouraging customers to opt for ethical fashion materials. The farms that grow raw materials used to make fabrics, including crops like cotton, flax, and hemp, need a lot of water. Up to 20,000 litres of water are needed to produce just 1kg of cotton. To protect these crops, some farmers use lots of pesticides and herbicides that end up in the environment. Manufacturing rayon, an artificial fabric made from wood pulp, has emerged in the loss of many old-growth forests. During the process that transforms it into the fabric, the pulp is treated with dangerous chemicals that eventually get their move into the environment. Considering these processes that harm the environment, people are shifting towards environment-friendly materials, and this factor is contributing to the growth of the ethical fashion market. Major players in the ethical fashion market are Christian Dior SE, H&M AB, NIKE Inc., Adidas AG, Pact, Tentree, Everlane and Eileen Fisher. Ethical fashion is becoming increasingly popular globally however the high cost for cloth is hampering the growth of the ethical fashion market. Every piece of clothing is handmade on a sewing machine by someone, somewhere. Paying to people will largely impact on the cost of clothing. Ethically run sewing facilities pay their employees well and offer important human rights for a safe working environment. Choosing to manufacture with these ethical mills drives up the costs significantly for Ethical fashion brands. Natural resources are being used as alternatives for complex and adversely affecting chemicals-based textiles. Chemicals such as chromium which are toxic are heavily used in the leather tanning process. To address the concerns with toxic chemicals, Carmen Hijosa, founder of Ananas Anam, developed 'Pinatex', a natural leather alternative made from cellulose fibres extracted from pineapple leaves as an alternative to it and other petroleum-based textiles. The industrial process used to create Pinatex produces biomass, which can be converted into a fertilizer that farmers can spread into their soil to grow the next pineapple harvest. The use of natural and sustainable materials is current trend in ethical fashion market. In July 2022, Delta Galil, an Israel-based textile firm, acquired Organic Basics for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Delta Galil intends to launch the Organic Basics brand and expand its product line to include things for infants and children as well as new products for both women and men.

Eco-friendly food packaging refers to a process in which food is packaged using materials that are safe for the environment and can be degradable. The materials must be contained in order to prevent tampering or contamination from physical, chemical, or biological sources; active packaging is the most popular type of packaging used to keep food products safe. The main types of eco-friendly food packaging are recycled content packaging, reusable packaging, and degradable packaging. The degradable eco-friendly food packaging is a substitute for petrochemical-based polymers. The common biodegradable materials used in food packaging are chitosan, starch, gelatin cellulose, and polylactic acid. The different materials include paper and paperboard, metal, glass, plastic, and others and use various techniques such as active packaging, molded packaging, multipurpose packaging, and alternate fiber packaging. The various applications include food and beverages, bakery and confectionery, dairy products, meat products, fruits and vegetables, convenience food, and others. The global eco-friendly food packaging market is segmented - 1) By Type: Recycled Content Packaging, Reusable Packaging, Degradable Packaging 2) By Material: Paper And Paperboard, Metal, Glass, Plastic, Other Materials 3) By Technique: Active Packaging, Molded Packaging, Multipurpose Packaging, Alternate Fiber Packaging 4) By Application: Food And Beverages, Bakery And Confectionery, Dairy Products, Meat Products, Fruits And Vegetables, Convenience Food, Other Applications The global eco-friendly food packaging market size grew from $213.26 billion in 2022 to $229.38 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.

Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose in a landfill and for such a long period the plastic waste will be there in the surroundings and cause several harm to the environment and ultimately harms the life of plants, animals, and human beings. For instance, according to the World Economic Forum report, countries such as Germany and Austria are the leaders in recycling waste at the rate of 56% and 52% respectively. In addition, some countries, such as Wales, have set lofty recycling goals for themselves. Wales is aiming for zero waste by 2050, while the EU is considering setting a new 2030 target of at least 65%.
