Die Textilindustrie ist eine der wasserintensivsten Branchen weltweit. Bei der Herstellung von Kleidung werden große Mengen an Wasser benötigt, sei es für den Anbau von Baumwolle oder die Verarbeitung von synthetischen Materialien wie Polyester. Angesichts der steigenden globalen Wasserknappheit und der negativen Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt ist es von großer Bedeutung, den Wasserverbrauch auch in der Textilindustrie zu minimieren. Wir bei KAYA&KATO setzen uns aktiv für eine nachhaltigere Textilproduktion ein und reduzieren sowohl den Wasserverbrauch als auch die Emissionen im Vergleich zur Herstellung mit konventionellen Stoffen.


Denn der immense Wasserverbrauch der Textilindustrie hat weitreichende Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt, lokal und global. Beim Anbau von Baumwolle beispielsweise, einer der am häufigsten verwendeten Fasern, werden große Mengen an Wasser benötigt. Dieser hohe Verbrauch belastet die Wasserressourcen in den Anbauregionen und führt zu Wasserknappheit, insbesondere in Gebieten, die bereits von Dürren betroffen sind. Wir beziehen einen Teil unserer Bio-Baumwolle aus einer Bäuer:innenkooperative in Uganda. In den Gebieten der Anbauprojekte fällt ausreichend Niederschlag und es steht genügend Grundwasser zur Verfügung, sodass auf eine künstliche Bewässerung verzichtet werden kann.  


Aber nicht nur der Wasserverbrauch an sich ist ein Problem. Die Textilindustrie trägt auch zur Verschmutzung von Gewässern bei, da bei der Produktion von Textilien große Mengen an chemischen Substanzen verwendet werden. Diese Chemikalien, darunter Farbstoffe und chemische Lösungsmittel, gelangen oft ungefiltert in Flüsse und Seen und haben negative Auswirkungen auf die Wasserqualität und die darin lebenden Organismen.


Inmitten dieser Herausforderungen strebt KAYA&KATO danach, eine nachhaltigere Alternative zur konventionellen Textilproduktion anzubieten. Durch den Einsatz innovativer Materialien und Produktionsverfahren werden sowohl der Wasserverbrauch als auch die CO2-Emissionen erheblich reduziert. Anhand des Beispiels unserer Latzschürze PIKE bedeutet das konkret, dass im Vergleich zur herkömmlichen Herstellung, 4,48 Liter Wasser und 0,55 kg CO2 weniger verbraucht werden. Noch beeindruckender sind die Zahlen für unsere Kochjacke RAY 2.0, bei der ganze 7,17 Liter Wasser und 0,87 kg CO2 eingespart werden können. 

Indem wir bewusste Entscheidungen treffen und Produkte aus umweltfreundlicheren Materialien und Herstellungsarten wählen, können wir gemeinsam dazu beitragen, den Wasserverbrauch in der Textilindustrie zu minimieren und eine nachhaltigere Zukunft zu ermöglichen. Für uns und für alle.

The textile industry is one of the most water-intensive industries in the world. Large amounts of water are required in the production of clothing, whether for the cultivation of cotton or the processing of synthetic materials such as polyester. Given the increasing global water scarcity and the negative impact on the environment, it is of great importance to minimize water consumption in the textile industry as well. At KAYA&KATO, we actively promote more sustainable textile production, reducing both water consumption and emissions compared to manufacturing with conventional fabrics.


This is because the immense water consumption of the textile industry has far-reaching effects on the environment, locally and globally. For example, the cultivation of cotton, one of the most commonly used fibers, requires large amounts of water. This high consumption puts a strain on water resources in the growing regions and leads to water shortages, especially in areas already affected by drought. We source some of our organic cotton from a farmers' cooperative in Uganda. In the areas of the cultivation projects, sufficient precipitation falls and enough groundwater is available so that artificial irrigation can be dispensed with.  


But water consumption itself is not the only problem. The textile industry also contributes to water pollution, as large quantities of chemical substances are used in the production of textiles. These chemicals, including dyes and chemical solvents, often enter rivers and lakes unfiltered, negatively impacting water quality and the organisms that live in them.


Amidst these challenges, KAYA&KATO strives to offer a more sustainable alternative to conventional textile production. By using innovative materials and production processes, both water consumption and CO2 emissions are significantly reduced. Using our PIKE bib apron as an example, this specifically means that compared to conventional production, 4.48 liters of water and 0.55 kg of CO2 are consumed less. Even more impressive are the figures for our RAY 2.0 chef's jacket, where a full 7.17 liters of water and 0.87 kg of CO2 can be saved.

By making conscious choices and selecting products made from more environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing methods, we can collectively help minimize water use in the textile industry and enable a more sustainable future. For us and for everyone.
