Abstract

In recent years, environmental protection has received great attention from all walks of life, and economic development is no longer pursued at the expense of the environment. Against this backdrop, various industries have actively responded to the call of China's environmental protection policies and carried out their work adhering to the modern concept of environmental protection, and so has the clothing industry. As a carrier of culture and fashion, the sustainable development issue of the clothing industry has become increasingly prominent. To meet consumers' pursuit of a healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyle, the clothing industry should clarify the value of environmentally friendly materials, minimize the use of chemical raw materials in the production process, and reduce environmental pollution. Based on this, the innovative application of new environmentally friendly materials in modern clothing can reduce its environmental pollution and enhance the environmental friendliness of modern clothing design, thereby promoting the sustainable development of the clothing design industry. This article aims to provide useful references and inspirations for the sustainable development of the clothing industry by systematically analyzing the types, characteristics of environmentally friendly fabrics and their application status in the clothing industry.
