Textiles is a global industry that touches every person on the planet. It has been estimated to be responsible for 5-10% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Neither the industry nor MIT have implemented a coordinated strategy in textile research and education to address this problem. We can have a greater impact collectively than individually.
