  • The purpose of this study was first, to examine the causes for the recent acceleration in the increase of textile/apparel waste and the current practices for reducing waste in the global textile and apparel industry; and second, to explore the influence of sustainability and social responsibility on fashion trends. Extensive literature on sustainable apparel and sustainable and socially responsible practices by global textile and apparel firms was reviewed in conducting this research. First, an accelerated fashion diffosion speed due to fast fashion was focused on as a cause for the increase in textile/apparel waste whereas mass customization was focused on as a potential solution for reducing waste. Then, the influence of the social trend toward sustainability and social responsibility on fashion trends was discussed, particularly the trends toward green products and recycled fashion, the trend against using real for or leather, and minimum-fabric-waste fashion in design and product development. This study furthers consumers' understanding of sustainability and social responsibility related to fashion trends and hopefully increases their consciousness in becoming socially responsible consumers. This study will also contribute to better decision-making in apparel and textile firms to produce sustainable fashion products.

  • The effectiveness of Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and processes has been recognized by the industry and owners are beginning to adopt Triple Bottom Line accounting practices, to enhance economic performance and environmental and social performance. However, the widespread and practical application of Green BIM remains largely unrealized. The authors identify that lack of understanding of the applicability of sustainability metrics to BIM design process is a significant barrier to this adoption. Through literature review this paper outlines the various sustainability metrics available to construction and elaborates on the potential of BIM for sustainable design. The paper maps and correlates applicable concepts of sustainability evaluation systems to BIM and describes the constraints in current BIM tools.

  • With the expansion of the vegan fashion industry and increasing consumer interest in vegan goods, the first inaugural Vegan Fashion Week was held in LA in 2019. However, there are no studies examining the sustainability of vegan fashion brands; this study underlines the necessity to close this research gap. This study aimed to ascertain how these issues are handled by vegan fashion brands. Using the "sustainable criterion of fashion brands," we investigated the companies that participated in Vegan Fashion Week. This study analyzed the featured brands, conducted case studies, and examined each brand's sustainability strategies and procedures. Press releases, news articles, official websites, and web magazines served as raw data for this study. Analyses of individual networks were performed and brands' approaches to veganism and sustainability were evaluated; eco-friendly material, fair trade, local production, and vegan inspiration were among these techniques. Every brand had put at least one of these requirements into practice for their business, with vegan inspiration being the most popular approach. Additionally, it was discovered that vegan fashion brands deliberately employed vegan messaging that aligns with their corporate values. After its initial launch, VFW continues to advance the discourse on vegan fashion both within the industry and with the general public. The study's implications include the analysis of vegan fashion brands' ethical manufacturing, environmental practices, and overall sustainability.

  • The concepts of 'sustainable development', 'sustainable construction' and 'green building' have been elevated to priority levels in all types and phases of construction project development worldwide. Consultants and contractors are now required to seriously consider the impact of their operations on the natural environment and the society, and consequently adopt sustainable construction practices in the development process to minimize and mitigate the negative impacts of their activities. However, existing sustainability rating tools apply to the design, post-construction and operation phases of a building; no tool exists for the rating of the performance of the contractor or the project team at the construction phase. This study aimed to develop a model for evaluating the sustainability of construction operations, drawing on the global best practice standards on sustainability. Practical applications of the model were carried out through case studies to evaluate the performances of fifteen construction firms in New Zealand. The developed model and the outcomes of the case studies were presented, including potential areas of weaknesses, strengths, constraints to achievement or adoption of sustainable construction practices and areas for improvement in the operations of the firms. The successful application of the developed model in practice shows its usefulness and ease of application. It is therefore recommended for adoption as a simple but effective system for measuring and reporting on sustainability performance or sustainability of construction operations of firms in New Zealand and elsewhere.

  • 본 연구는 사회적협동조합에 대한 이론적 검토와 4차에 걸친 실태조사 결과를 바탕으로 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성에 대해 협동조합 7대 원칙을 중심으로 사회적·경제적·환경적 측면에서 논의하고자 하였다. 지속가능성의 문제는 "미래 세대가 그들의 필요를 충족시킬 능력을 저해하지 않으면서 현재 세대의 필요를 충족시키는 발전, 자원의 이용, 투자의 방향, 기술의 발전 그리고 제도변화가 서로 조화를 이루며 현재와 미래의 모든 세대의 필요와 욕구를 증진시키는 변화의 과정"으로 정의되었듯이. 사회적 가치와 환경보전 그리고 경제성장이 상호 대립되는 개념이 아닌 조화와 균형으로 미래 세대에도 지속가능한 사회를 연결하자는 의미를 담고 있다. 지속가능한 발전에 담겨진 사회적·경제적·환경적 지속가능성의 개념과 협동조합 7대 원칙과 연계성을 정리한 결과, 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성에 대해 다음과 같이 제언하고자 한다. 첫째, 지역사회 밀착형 사회공헌에 노력해야 한다. 둘째, 공익과 더불어 수익모델을 창출해야 한다. 셋째, 파트너십을 강화해야 한다. 본연구를 통해 사회적협동조합이 실현하고자 하는 공익적 가치와 목적을 살펴볼 때, 지속가능한 발전의 세 가지 범위는 현 사회적경제 조직이 직면하고 있는 사회적·경제적 가치 추구를 위한 중요한 행위자로서의 역할과 직결된다 하겠다. 따라서 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성 문제는 사회적협동조합이 추구하는 목적과 가치가 환경적·사회적·경제적 측면에서의 조화와 균형발전이라는 개념에 기초하여 사회적협동조합 스스로의 노력뿐만 아니라 정부의 제도적인 뒷받침이 제시되어야 할 것이다.
