Talking about textiles majority of the European and American companies are purchasing the goods from the Eastern part of the world and the individuals (buyers) engaged in this process are mainly focused on the cost factor. They’ll move to only those suppliers from whom they can get the minimum cost goods irrespective of the fact that how environment friendly are the operations of the other companies.

To achieve their targets followed by the given quota they are not very much concerned about the social compliances and the fact that their acts can be harmful for the environment.

“By using this recycle paper X number of trees were not cut down.”

“Save our forests – Recycle”

Research shows that in many cases paper fiber comes from the residuals of other industrial processes (sawmills). So the equations used to calculate the equivalent # of trees may be not be valid. Also, while tropical rainforests are disappearing, in many parts of the world, including North America, forest cover is stable or even increasing! … and these are areas where most of the world’s pulp and paper is produced. While recycling is indeed has sound environmental arguments – shouldn’t they be centered more on landfill issues? Isn’t it misleading to tie this back to trees – a renewable resource that is indeed being renewed in practice?

These statmenents appear to Sin in the areas of Vagueness and or Irrelavance (they infer cutting down trees equates with losing forests when this is not happening in areas where paper manufacture is well established and sustained).
