With the traditional wasteful models of production being replaced by circular and sustainable ones in different industries across the globe, the apparel sector cannot stay behind. In fact, the world-famous clothing companies and fashion brands like H&M, Adidas, Ever Lane, Buffy, Girlfriend Collective, Nike, Aday, etc., have been increasingly switching to recycled fabrics. The European Union (EU), a major destination of Bangladesh's apparel products, is also going to make it mandatory from 2025 that 30 per cent of the clothing it imports should be made of recycled fabrics. Against this backdrop, what is the state of preparedness of the apparel sector in Bangladesh? Reports have it that, annually, Bangladesh's apparel sector produces about 570,000 tonnes of textile waste, also called jhut, locally. By recycling this waste into fibre and reusing the same in the textile industry, Bangladesh reportedly can save on the import of virgin cotton to the tune of one billion US dollars (USD) annually. The international buyers of Bangladesh-origin garment products are also learnt to be attaching the mandatory condition of using recycled fibre, for instance, recycled polyester or other manmade fibres in place of virgin cotton in their textile products. But despite the huge potential of this emerging sector of recycled fabrics globally, appropriate policies are yet to be in place in Bangladesh to grab the opportunity. In fact, the local recycled fibre production mills have to pay a 7.5 per cent VAT while collecting the textile waste or jhut raw material for their industry. Again, 15 per cent VAT is levied on them when they supply the recycled fibre to the local spinning mills. But this growing 100 per cent export-oriented backward linkage industrial sector merits government support. Seeing that the use of recycled fibre in apparel products from Bangladeshi exporters has been made obligatory in the new laws of the Western markets, the government should fast-track framing policies to incentivise the sector. Notably, at present, some 23 local mills have the annual capacity of producing 220,000 tonnes of recycled fibre. In addition to this, of the 330 spinning mills producing yarns, 61 are able to manufacture Global Recycle Standard (GRS)-certified yarn. Also 14 more such spinning mills are reportedly in the process of getting GRS certification. Evidently, the quantity of textile waste or jhut generated by the local RMG industry, if processed, is not enough to meet the rising demand for recycled fabrics from buyers. So, it is hardly surprising that recently the textile waste recycling mills urged the government to form an HS code as well as provide them with dutyfree facilities for importing textile waste and mutilated garments. The good news is that the Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission (BTTC) has looked into the issue and come up with recommendations to arrange fiscal measures in the upcoming budget and remove the tax-related barriers to the growth of textile waste, especially cotton-fibre, for recycling sector. Also, it suggested introducing tariff for the VAT-registered textile waste fabric recycling industry. In a similar vein, the BTTC recommended classifying the products with new Harmonized System (HS) code styled 'Recycle Cotton Fibre'. t importantly, it suggested banning any export of jhut (textile, or cotton waste) to meet the demand of the local recycled fibre industry. Given its inexhaustible potential, the government should provide generous fiscal support so that the emerging textile waste recycling sector can draw more private investment, both local and foreign.

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Textiles, Shri Piyush Goyal said that Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) was created to democratise the existing ecommerce ecosystem of the country during his virtual address at the “ONDC Elevate” program in Bengaluru. Shri Goyal chaired the program and said that ONDC is an engine of growth that has the potential to redefine the industry completely. The Minister said that a significant number of sellers on the network is itself a testimony to ONDC's impact as digital commerce is being re-imagined. Shri Goyal engaged with all Network Participants during the Open House, noting their feedback and guiding them to redouble their efforts to democratize digital commerce in India. The Minister also noted in response to queries from participants that, “any marketplace joining ONDC should come with serious commitment, and not for namesake”. He also pointed out that when a platform comes on ONDC, it should be in the spirit of give and take, and not just simply taking benefit from the network without contributing back to its progress. “ONDC Elevate” commemorated ONDC's one-year completion, fostering a collaborative environment by bringing together participants and ecosystem players of the network. It provided a platform for open discussions on accomplishments to date and facilitated brainstorming sessions to shape the future trajectory of ONDC. The members of the ONDC Advisory Council – Dilip Asbe, CEO, NPCI, Adil Zainulbhai, Chairman, Capacity Building Commission and Jaxay Shah, Chairman, QCI also attended the event. This interactive session gave participants the opportunity to share their suggestions, and to benefit from the guidance of the Hon’ble Minister and the advisory council members. Shri T. Koshy, MD & CEO, ONDC said that as ONDC completes a year of its operations, it's an ideal time to take a look back on what has been achieved so far while preparing for the future. He said that from 5 cities to 236 cities, the network has continuously evolved with diverse participation of merchants. The group also discussed the various milestones ONDC has completed in the past year. From the launch of beta testing on September 29, 2022, ONDC has scaled to 36,000 sellers, 45+ Network participants and 8+ categories, with a weekly average of 13,000+ retail orders and 36,000+ mobility rides per day with peak transactions reaching 25,000 retail orders on a day. The workshop also focused on the impact ONDC is generating, especially for SHGs and non-digitized sellers.

The last five-six months have been tough for the textile units in the region, especially those in the Micro, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises, while the engineering industries are seeing signs of revival. MSME textile mills reduced production 50 % since Monday as there is no demand for yarn and prices are under pressure, said the mill owners. A manufacturer of basic garments in Tiruppur said the crisis started last November and producers of inner garments in Tiruppur for the domestic market were hit by nearly 50 % drop in business from November, 2022 to February, 2023. Since March there is a marginal improvement in orders every month but the situation is still bad for the manufacturers. “The manufacturers are citing several reasons for the crisis. But, I think the main problems were steep hike in cotton prices resulting in spiralling cotton yarn prices and the fall in the yarn prices in the last six-seven months,” he said. Cotton yarn prices almost doubled in 18 months after the first wave of COVID-19 and the manufacturers had no option but to increase the product price by almost 30 %. The yarn prices have reduced 15 % now and the manufacturers are reducing the product prices. This has led to financial problems for both, the manufacturers and distributors. So there is no demand for the products, he feels. Garment exporters and domestic suppliers are hopeful of the market normalising in the coming months, those many units have started reducing or closing operations. In the case of engineering units, president of the Coimbatore District Small Industries’ Association V. Thirugnanam said that compared to the situation six months ago, the order flow was better now for pumpset and general engineering units. The raw material prices are stable giving slight relief to the MSME units. But, the margins are tight, he said. In the case of exporters, some segments were doing well and the average capacity utilisation was 60 %-70 %, he said. According to J. James, president of the Tamil Nadu Association of Cottage and Tiny Enterprises, almost 40 % of migrant workers who went home in February have not returned and this is affecting operations. The micro units are trying to operate 12-14 hours with the existing workers as the order situation has improved. But, the units were having cost pressures, he said. “We do not get even ₹ 180 an hour for job work and our operating costs are almost the same that amount that we get,” he said.

The authors of Breakthrough Supply Chain say companies need to rethink their supply chains in terms of structure, priorities, objectives, and operations. They must do so within financial, environmental, and national security guidelines and 'guardrails.'
Breakthrough Supply Chains is a book that seeks to help businesses leaders rethink supply chains to increase both profits and global benefits This week sees the publication of an important new book about supply chain. Breakthrough Supply Chains will be available from May 26. The book is a guide to rethinking and reinventing supply chains using breakthrough thinking, so that business leaders can benefit their organisations, the economy and the world It is written by four distinguished experts in the field: Christopher Gopal, a global supply chain & operations consultant & educator Gene Tyndall, former EY Senior Partner for Supply Chain Management Wolfgang Partsch, the founding father of supply chain management Eleftherios Iakovou, Logistics Innovation Director, Texas A&M
Rethinking the Supply Chain So, how do companies determine how their supply chains will look and operate in the short-term and in the longer-term future? Terms such as 'transformational thinking' and 'innovative thinking' are thrown around, but these are often just consultants’ terms for doing something different. It is true that companies need to rethink their supply chains in terms of structure, priorities, objectives, and operations. They must do so within financial, environmental, and national security guidelines and 'guardrails.' These guardrails are briefly discussed below. As a point of note, some consultants and analysts recommend starting with a blank sheet of paper to design the supply chain of the future. In our experience, this results in a lot of wishful thinking. A far better strategy than a blank sheet is to focus on specific conditions and capabilities – such as existing structure, major critical suppliers, guidelines, and guardrails – and then develop tailored supply chain strategies. One such set of conditions is the type of supply chain – and there are two types to consider.
Producer-driven supply chains As for semiconductor chips and electronic equipment – which requires high capital investment, significant product and manufacturing technology capability.
Buyer-driven supply chains Example include textiles and agrifood products, characterized by relatively low product and manufacturing technology requirements, and so ideal for outsourcing and requiring a core competency in design and inventory management. These two types of supply chains demand different physical networks, priorities, cost and financing structures, demand-supply and inventory management approaches. It is no accident that the 'top' supply chain companies identified by several institutions are all very large and exercise a great deal of power in their extended supply chains. Furthermore, their rankings are often based on people’s opinions, and on somewhat irrelevant metrics on the environment. Such companies can get over problems through brute force – for example, by forcing suppliers to hold inventory, extend payment terms, and provide preferred supply, and obtain best rates. Using the 'leading practices' employed by these companies may not be the best strategy for smaller companies - smaller companies cannot always do what these behemoths do. Companies’ strategies are constrained by their ability to finance investment, operations, and working capital. Large and dominant companies can usually obtain better financing rates and more financing. The key question is, what sort of financing is realistically available, and how can this be increased through innovative supply chain financing deals with institutions, suppliers, and customers?
Key questions A core question needs to be addressed: Who are our customers and what do they need? We must take into account our channels and what the competition offers (for example, low cost, two-day delivery for which we can charge them, free five-day delivery, selection, order tracking, returns). Also, what does each channel demand (trade spend, inventory, returns) and how much does it cost?
Product characteristics Product characteristics are typically looked at in three distinct ways: the type of product – 'functional' with high volume, predictable demand with cost efficiency being the prime driver, or 'innovative,' for which time to market is critical – defined by factors such as cost, proprietary technology or design, product 'clockspeed' (the speed at which technology and components change), product changes, and manufacturing complexity; the lead time for replenishment—long, short, with its associated variability; and the customer demand patterns—predictable, stable, variable.
Government environmental mandates A lot of this depends on the company’s senior executives, its board of directors, and actual government mandates in the country of operation. The guardrails range from the altruistic 'I believe in doing good' to 'it’s mandated by law so I must comply.' But always, it comes down to cost – and its impact on margins and working capital – and return on investment. After all, a company’s obligations are to its shareholders first, then to its workers and the community, and then to the nation (all are stakeholders). The decisions encompass sourcing, transportation, product design and materials, and manufacturing.
National security requirements Historically, national security requirements are the most ignored in many Western economies but are now increasingly becoming the most important. This involves an analysis of bills of material, reducing sourcing in currently or potentially unfriendly and risky countries, restricting obtaining financing from, and developing partnerships with, companies that are controlled by adversarial foreign governments, and supplying certain types of products to these countries. We must adopt what other countries have long realized, a 'whole of country' approach to supply chain management and product development. Contrary to what many seem to believe, shareholder value and executive compensation do not trump national security.
Current contracts and investments Lots of companies have made large capital investments in facilities and supplier networks. Many of these decisions and investments have been made in hostile and risky foreign markets, while contracts have been inked with other suppliers who may prove to also be risky because of environmental issues. Moving away from these facilities and suppliers will require planning and time. Working within these guardrails requires trade-offs in terms of increased short-term costs, access to markets, certain business priorities, and impacts on certain countries. But every company must deal with these trade-offs in order to ensure national security.

In an exclusive interview with the economic newspaper Expansión, Óscar García Maceiras, CEO of the Galician textile group, revealed that the company is making every effort to bring Zara Pre-Owned to Spain before the end of the year. This peer-to-peer fashion resale platform focuses exclusively on items from the Zara brand, enabling direct connections between consumers. Earlier this year, it was reported that Inditex was looking for partners in the Spanish market to bring Zara Pre-Owned to the country, tapping into the growing trend of second-hand consumption. According to a study from June 2022, 43% of Spaniards consider second-hand options in their purchasing decisions. In recent years and months, many other textile companies have made their own foray into the second-hand fashion market with their unique propositions. Kiabi and Carrefour have dedicated corners in some of their stores for second-hand items, while Veepee also launched a program in Spain for the collection and resale of articles, just to name a few.
Stores as hubs and growth prospects for 2023 In the aforementioned interview with Expansión, García Maceiras discussed present and future challenges and analysed some of the company's initiatives and lines of action. The executive highlighted the importance of the integrated model of physical stores and online sales for the group. The physical store "serves as an essential operational support for our online operations," he asserted. In 2022, the conglomerate's digital sales grew by 4%, while physical store sales increased by 23%. With a profitability per square meter that was 16% higher in 2022 compared to 2019, the executive indicated that the average size of the group's upcoming store openings will be between 2,500 and 3,000 square meters, although some flagship locations, such as the store in Plaza España in Madrid, reach 7,000 square meters. From a strategic standpoint, García Maceiras ruled out creating new chains to accommodate the new business lines that the group has embraced in recent years, particularly through Zara. While the brand has created specific corners in its stores for its latest lines, such as Zara Beauty, there are no plans to establish independent stores for these subdivisions in its roadmap. In any case, Inditex, which does not identify as a "fast fashion" group, will continue to prioritise diversification as a growth lever across all its brands, not just Zara. Regarding 2023, the executive mentioned in the interview that the fiscal year has begun on a positive note. The company is performing well, and all markets are operating adequately, giving rise to optimism about the course of the year. In the beginning of the year, the group experienced a 13.5% increase in sales at constant exchange rates, and this figure rises to 17.5% when excluding the impact of the Russian and Ukrainian markets. Despite its already substantial size, the company believes it has significant growth potential both domestically and internationally. In Spain, Inditex accounted for 15.4% of the total revenue in 2022, but the company has several projects in the pipeline that will enable them to strengthen their position in various cities, according to the CEO's analysis. Beyond the Spanish market, the company has its sights set on countries like the United States, which, according to García Maceiras, currently accounts for only 0.5 out of every 100 dollars in fashion sales, presenting opportunities for growth. Inditex has around thirty new projects planned for the United States over the next three years and is also considering launching new chains, such as Massimo Dutti or Zara Home, in the market where they currently only have Zara stores.

In March 2022, the European Commission published the EU Strategy for Sustainable & Circular Textiles; it followed the European Industr ial Strategy where 14 pr ior ity industr ial ecosystems – among which textiles – were identified to achieve the “twin transition to a green and digital economy, make EU industr y more competitive globally, and enhance Europe’s open strategic autonomy.” But what is the EU Textile Strategy and what concrete impact will it have on the European textile industry and its citizens? With over 160.000 companies employing 1.3 million people, the European textile industry is a vital part of European society. Textiles have a profound impact on the local economy and on local communities across all EU regions by generating jobs and creating business opportunities; also, European textiles and fashion is an integral part of European culture with deep root in cultural heritage while setting the creative trends all over the world. Composed mainly of SMEs, the European textile industry generated a turnover of €169 billion in 2022 – an increase of 13% compared to 2021. But, according to the European Union, textile is the fourth highest industry to have an impact on the environment and climate change, it is one of the top 3 industries for water and land use, and among the top 5 in terms of raw materials use and greenhouse gas emission. The EU Strategy for Sustainable & Circular Textiles aims at mitigating the impact of the textile industry on the environment while enhancing its competitiveness and resilience through a series of new and game-changing regulations – such as ecodesign (ESPR), Product Environmental Footprint (PEF), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Due Diligence, the creation of a digital product passport, the analysis of the impact of microplastics and harmful chemicals to find solutions, as well as regulating socalled “green claims” and ecolabel to ensure such a claim is accurately presented to consumers. The EU Textile Strategy also aims to tackle the issue of over-production and overconsumption by promoting high quality durable, repairable and recyclable textiles and fibres; indeed, fast fashion is out of fashion. A key element for the future of European textiles is the establishment of compulsory textile waste collection by 2025, sparking the need for a new business model and supply chain, as well as a Europe-wide level plain field, concrete investments in innovation and skills leading towards a tangible green and realistic digital transition. The European Commission, through partners and agencies, is supporting the development and implementation of projects to create a new circular economy, where textiles and clothes can and are reused, repaired and recycled. After clothes have been used and then mended many times, citizens will be able to recycle them in the same way as they now recycle plastic, fuelling the textile industry with recycled materials and triggering a new circular economy. Currently, many pilot projects are being implemented exploring possibilities for new products and services, which will soon become everyday reality.

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has called for the removal of a 10% tax on cash assistance provided for the export of ready-made garments in the upcoming budget. According to the BGMEA, as cash assistance is not considered business income, it is reasonable to exempt it from taxation. The association emphasised the need for policy support from the government to ensure the sustainability of the exportoriented apparel business. To enhance the business environment and reduce the overall "cost of doing business," the BGMEA recommended measures such as uninterrupted electricity and gas supply, decreased value-added tax (VAT) and tax rates, single-digit bank interest rates, and the continuation of incentives for export earnings. They also stressed the importance of prioritising simplified policies to facilitate "Ease of Doing Business" in the forthcoming budget Considering the current global economic instability, including the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, the BGMEA expressed concerns shared by exporters across various industries. They highlighted issues such as falling clothing prices in the international market due to inflation in the country, low orders, reduced prices, and insecure payments. In light of these challenges, the BGMEA expects government support through favourable policies. The BGMEA further urged the government to reduce the tax at source for exports from 1% to 0.50% and maintain this rate for the next five years. They also proposed that garment industries be subject to a corporate tax rate of 12%, excluding specific types of income like Gain on Assets Disposal, Sub-contract Income, and miscellaneous expenses when assessing the sector. Regarding subcontracting in the ready-made garment industry, the organisation recommended the implementation of tax at source based on the proposed steps at the time of subcontractor payment. They suggested treating this tax as final and, otherwise, applying a corporate tax rate of 12% during assessments. In order to support the export business, the BGMEA proposed a reduction in the rate of income tax deduction at source from 20% to 10% for fees paid to the Exporter Retention Quota Fund (ERQ) for the growth and development of exports in the export-oriented garment industry. Additionally, the press release highlighted the disruption in industrial production caused by the fuel crisis. The BGMEA emphasised the importance of duty concessional import of solar PV system equipment to address the energy crisis, reduce production costs, and maintain export flows.
