1.4. The Impact of External Factors on Green Development
In the pursuit of green development, sewing and knitting enterprises do not operate in isolation. Gov-
ernmental policies, industry regulations, and stakeholder collaborations significantly influence the success of 
sustainable initiatives 
[10]
. Understanding the external forces that shape the industry’s green transition is vital in 
comprehending the broader context in which competitive strategies must be deployed. This research explores 
the role of policymakers, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder engagements in supporting or hindering the 
realization of green development goals.
In conclusion, this research paper delves into the crucial task of aligning competitive strategies with green 
development principles in the management of sewing and knitting enterprises. By comprehensively reviewing 
literature, analyzing empirical data, and drawing insights from real-world case studies, this study sheds light on 
the path to achieving environmentally responsible enterprises without compromising their competitiveness. As 
the world continues to emphasize sustainable practices, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on 
integrating green development principles into business strategies, paving the way for a more sustainable and 
prosperous future for the sewing and knitting industry.

The paper’s subsequent sections follow a coherent structure, beginning with an extensive Literature Re-
view that critically examines existing research on sustainable practices and competitive strategies within the 
sewing and knitting industry. This review serves as the groundwork for the subsequent sections. The Methods 
section outlines the empirical analysis and research methodology employed to identify key competitive strate-
gies for green development. In the Results section, the study presents the findings, highlighting the identified 
strategies and their alignment with sustainability goals. The Discussion section analyzes the implications of 
these findings, emphasizing the role of technology, innovation, and employee engagement in promoting green 
initiatives. Additionally, the section explores real-world case studies of successful sewing and knitting enterpris-
es to illustrate the integration of competitive strategies and sustainable practices. Lastly, the paper concludes 
by underlining the significance of external factors, such as governmental policies, industry regulations, and 
stakeholder collaboration, in influencing the sewing and knitting industry’s green transition.

The sewing and knitting industry’s pursuit of sustainable practices and competitive strategies has gained 
significant scholarly attention in recent years. Researchers have explored various dimensions of green devel-
opment, encompassing eco-friendly materials sourcing, energy-efficient production methods, waste reduction 
techniques, and responsible supply chain management. This comprehensive literature review critically exam-
ines existing research to establish the foundation for integrating competitive strategies with sustainability in 
sewing and knitting enterprises.
Green development has become an imperative for the textile industry due to mounting concerns about 
environmental degradation and climate change 
[1]
. Scholars have emphasized the need for eco-friendly materi-
als and processes to reduce the industry’s ecological footprint 
[2]
. Sustainable sourcing practices that prioritize 
organic, recycled, or biodegradable materials have gained prominence 
[3]
. Additionally, eco-design principles, 
such as cradle-to-cradle and life cycle assessment, have been proposed to assess the environmental impact of 
textile products throughout their entire lifecycle 
[4]
. These practices underscore the significance of environmen-
tally responsible material selection in achieving green development goals.
Energy efficiency has emerged as another crucial aspect of sustainable practices in the sewing and knit-
ting industry. Researchers have explored innovative technologies and process optimization techniques to min-
imize energy consumption during production 
[5]
. Energy-efficient equipment, such as low-energy sewing ma-
chines and knitting technologies, have been proposed to reduce operational carbon footprints 
[6]
. Furthermore, 
scholars have advocated for the adoption of renewable energy sources and energy management systems to 
enhance sustainability performance 
[7]
. By optimizing energy usage, sewing and knitting enterprises can effec-
tively contribute to green development objectives.
Waste reduction strategies have garnered significant attention, as textile manufacturing is notorious for 
generating substantial amounts of waste 
[8]
. Scholars have investigated ways to minimize waste generation 
through lean manufacturing principles and waste recovery techniques 
[9]
. Closed-loop systems that focus on 
recycling, upcycling, and circular economy principles have been suggested as viable solutions to address the 
industry’s waste challenges 
[10]
. Implementing these strategies fosters resource conservation and promotes a 
more sustainable textile production landscape.
Responsible supply chain management practices play a vital role in the sewing and knitting industry’s 
green development journey. Researchers have emphasized the importance of traceability and transparency 
throughout the supply chain to ensure ethically sourced materials and fair labor practices 
[11]
. Collaboration with 
suppliers and stakeholders to enforce sustainable standards and certifications has been proposed as a means 
to drive positive change 
[12]
. Moreover, researchers have highlighted the significance of establishing strong part-
nerships with like-minded organizations to promote sustainability initiatives collectively 
[13]
. Such responsible 
supply chain practices not only contribute to environmental preservation but also bolster the industry’s social 
and ethical standing.
In conclusion, this literature review highlights the growing body of research on sustainable practices and 
competitive strategies within the sewing and knitting industry. The adoption of eco-friendly materials, energy-ef-
ficient production methods, waste reduction techniques, and responsible supply chain management are identi-
fied as critical components of green development. These findings serve as the groundwork for the subsequent 
sections, which will delve into empirical analysis and real-world case studies to identify effective competitive 
strategies that align with sustainability principles in sewing and knitting enterprises.

To identify key competitive strategies for green development in the sewing and knitting industry,
a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. 
The research methodology aimed to gather comprehensive insights from both academic literature and re-
al-world case studies of successful sewing and knitting enterprises.
The aforementioned literature review was conducted systematically to identify relevant research articles, 
academic papers, and reports related to sustainable practices and competitive strategies in the sewing and 
knitting industry. Databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar were extensively searched using 
specific keywords such as “sustainable practices,” “green development,” “competitive strategies,” “sewing in-
dustry,” and “knitting industry.” The inclusion criteria for the literature review were peer-reviewed articles pub-
lished within the past ten years, with a focus on sustainable practices and competitive strategies applicable to 
sewing and knitting enterprises. A total of 32 studies were selected for in-depth analysis.
