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.
