This article addresses the environmental aspects of an unorganised textile sector with large-scale employment through a case study of the city of Solapur in the state of Maharashtra, India. Waste generated from the textile sector is causing serious problems such as changes to land and agricultural patterns, air quality, health and biodiversity. The methodology includes qualitative and quantitative data regarding the possible impact on climate, health, agriculture, biodiversity, water, air and soil. A detailed analysis was carried out through an extensive literature review. A possible solution in the form of a sustainable networking model for mitigating change is suggested. The sustainable model with integration of information and communication technology (ICT) will help achieve the desired development goals. The role of ICT is to channelise the supply chain, which can increase the efficiency and competitiveness of the sector.

Prek študije mesta Solapur v indijski državi Maharaštra se v članku obravnavajo okoljski vidiki neorganizirane tekstilne panoge, ki zaposluje veliko število ljudi. Odpadki, ki jih ustvarja tekstilna panoga, povzročajo spremembe zemljiških in kmetijskih vzorcev, kakovosti zraka in biotske raznovrstnosti ter zdravstvene težave. Uporabljena metodologija vključuje kvalitativne in kvantitativne podatke o mogočem vplivu na podnebje, zdravje, kmetijstvo, biotsko raznovrstnost, vodo, zrak in prst. V okviru raziskave je bila opravljena obsežna podrobna analiza literature in predlagana morebitna rešitev v obliki trajnostnega modela mreženja za blaženje sprememb. Trajnostni model bo z informacijsko in s komunikacijsko tehnologijo (IKT) pomagal doseči želene razvojne cilje. Vloga IKT je usmeriti oskrbovalno verigo, kar lahko poveča učinkovitost in konkurenčnost panoge.
