Coronavirus Pandemic has affected the globe in more ways than one. More than 3 Million people have been infected in 212 countries. It is a medical emergency but parallel questions are rising about coping with it in other fields. One such field disturbed by the virus is Education. However, measures are being taken to keep it rolling and ensure that minimum damage happens to students’ learning.

Universities and colleges are moving their courses online. This is in sync with the Social Distancing measures applied across the world. Now, students can access information at the comfort of their homes without having to risk stepping out. These courses have already started functioning in most universities and colleges and others are on their way to go digital.

As per the sources on mastersfor.me, there have been views on developing more distance learning courses by the Universities. People are willing to enroll for new courses but they would want to avoid stepping out. Even after the pandemic is contained the scare related to going out may remain for some time. For this, Universities must brainstorm to arrive at new courses that people can opt for as correspondence or distance learning courses.

There are a lot of admin processes involved in successful running of a University. Concerns addressed by them are related to payments, admission process, submissions and examinations. Universities would have to work on smooth functioning of these sub-departments. Experts feel that there is a lot to be done by the admin departments and they’ll have to pull their socks up for the upcoming challenges.

Lastly, another important aspect of fighting in these times is to comply with governmental instructions. Educational institutions need to be very clear in sending communication to the students about what is functioning and what is not. In these uncertain times, a certainty in terms of information is highly assuring for the pupils. This can be done by updating through websites or sending across mailers.

While the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) are seeking solutions to combat drought through various projects, Ekoten Textile, a subsidiary of Turkey’s textile giant Sun Textile, has developed a groundbreaking project in collaboration with a technology startup to minimize the intensive water consumption in the textile industry. This pioneering project, the first of its kind globally, will enable the recycling and reuse of up to 90% of the water used in textile production.

Drought is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. According to WHO data, 40% of the global population is struggling with water scarcity. By 2030, up to 700 million people could be forced to migrate due to drought. The unconscious use of water in global production processes plays a significant role in the rapid depletion of clean water resources.

The textile industry is one of the sectors with the highest water consumption. In Turkey, while the food industry consumes 22% of the water used for industrial purposes, the textile sector follows closely with 18%. For instance, producing an average of 40 tons of products daily requires 2,500 tons of water, equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 10,000 people.

CLEAN WATER RESOURCES FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY!

In textile production, where clean water resources are heavily consumed, the innovative success of the Turkish company stands out as a global best practice. This initiative will shape the future of the industry. The wastewater recycling project, developed through intensive R&D efforts, will ensure that over 90% of the required water is sourced from recycled supplies.

The reuse of wastewater in production will transform the fate of countries operating in the textile sector. By preventing the use of clean water resources for textile production, this project will free up clean water sources that can meet the daily needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

R&D ACTIVITIES IN 38 COUNTRIES WITH 380 PARTNERS!

Sun Textile places great emphasis on R&D activities, conducting research and development efforts with 380 partners across 38 countries. Sun Textile and its subsidiary Ekoten Textile export nearly 90% of their production, solidifying their identity as a leading exporter. The company ships products to numerous destinations worldwide, including European countries, the UK, and the US. Sun Textile, the leading ready-to-wear exporter in the Aegean Region, achieved a consolidated turnover of 250 million euros in the third quarter of 2024, continuing its active growth trajectory.

OFFERING CUSTOM DESIGNS TO CUSTOMERS

Sun Textile provides its own designed collections to leading brands in Europe and the UK. Ekoten Textile, its subsidiary, is among the most respected knitted fabric manufacturers in Turkey and Europe.

With a dedicated sales team for each major customer group and five design offices in three different countries, Sun Textile creates designs tailored to its customers’ needs. Its largest clients include the Inditex Group, H&M, Jimmy Key, Tesco, Kiabi, Marks & Spencer, and Next.

Sun Textile also extends its sustainability approach to social responsibility, notably for its high ratio of female employees. The company, which went public in 2022, is also listed in dividend indexes.
