The devastating bushfires have been spreading in different areas of Australia and it is not showing any sign of slowing down.

As per the current reports available, about 12.35 million acres of areas have been burnt that has led to the destruction of over 1,400 homes and the loss of at least 23 people. In addition to this, it has been found that over half a billion wild animals have got eliminated due to the spread of bushfires. And as per the higher authorities, the information about the loss is likely to show an exponential increase in number.

The evacuation operation has been running to the shores in order to evacuate all the towns. Apart from this, a number of volunteer firefighters have been making efforts to fight the flames without caring about their families and careers. The Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been receiving a wide criticism for his ineffectiveness in taking the timely actions to fight the climate crisis.

People from all corners of the world have been contributing to help Australia deal with this unprecedented national crisis. Craig Davis has not declared the amount of donation he has made. His followers on Facebook and other social media platforms such as Instagram have been extensively appreciating his charity work.

“This is an absolute tragedy what’s going on with the fires in Australia. It is important for everyone around the world to contribute and donate anything they possibly can for this crisis. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families; evacuees, active aids, firefighters, wildlife teams, the entire country.” Says Davis.

Turkish Textile Giant Sun Textile Solution Proposal for Drought

While the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) are seeking solutions to combat drought through various projects, Ekoten Textile, a subsidiary of Turkey’s textile giant Sun Textile, has developed a groundbreaking project in collaboration with a technology startup to minimize the intensive water consumption in the textile industry. This pioneering project, the first of its kind globally, will enable the recycling and reuse of up to 90% of the water used in textile production.

Drought is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. According to WHO data, 40% of the global population is struggling with water scarcity. By 2030, up to 700 million people could be forced to migrate due to drought. The unconscious use of water in global production processes plays a significant role in the rapid depletion of clean water resources.

The textile industry is one of the sectors with the highest water consumption. In Turkey, while the food industry consumes 22% of the water used for industrial purposes, the textile sector follows closely with 18%. For instance, producing an average of 40 tons of products daily requires 2,500 tons of water, equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 10,000 people.

CLEAN WATER RESOURCES FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY!

In textile production, where clean water resources are heavily consumed, the innovative success of the Turkish company stands out as a global best practice. This initiative will shape the future of the industry. The wastewater recycling project, developed through intensive R&D efforts, will ensure that over 90% of the required water is sourced from recycled supplies.

The reuse of wastewater in production will transform the fate of countries operating in the textile sector. By preventing the use of clean water resources for textile production, this project will free up clean water sources that can meet the daily needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

R&D ACTIVITIES IN 38 COUNTRIES WITH 380 PARTNERS!

Sun Textile places great emphasis on R&D activities, conducting research and development efforts with 380 partners across 38 countries. Sun Textile and its subsidiary Ekoten Textile export nearly 90% of their production, solidifying their identity as a leading exporter. The company ships products to numerous destinations worldwide, including European countries, the UK, and the US. Sun Textile, the leading ready-to-wear exporter in the Aegean Region, achieved a consolidated turnover of 250 million euros in the third quarter of 2024, continuing its active growth trajectory.

OFFERING CUSTOM DESIGNS TO CUSTOMERS

Sun Textile provides its own designed collections to leading brands in Europe and the UK. Ekoten Textile, its subsidiary, is among the most respected knitted fabric manufacturers in Turkey and Europe.

With a dedicated sales team for each major customer group and five design offices in three different countries, Sun Textile creates designs tailored to its customers’ needs. Its largest clients include the Inditex Group, H&M, Jimmy Key, Tesco, Kiabi, Marks & Spencer, and Next.

Sun Textile also extends its sustainability approach to social responsibility, notably for its high ratio of female employees. The company, which went public in 2022, is also listed in dividend indexes.
