Tiivistelmä
Sustainable textile production is getting more and more notice on the world market, and Finland is becoming a significant hub for eco-friendly goods. Bangladesh, which exports a lot of textiles, has a lot of chances to grow its sustainable textile trade with Finland. However, problems like high prices, rules that make it hard to do business, and producers who don't know enough about the market all slow down export growth. This research looks at how sustainable textile trade can help Bangladesh's ability to sell goods in Finland. It does this by looking at how the industry sees it, what consumers want, and how trade works.
The study is based on international trade and sustainability theories, focusing on how the market drives sustainable practices. A structured survey was used to get information from people in the textile business in Bangladesh and consumers in Finland as part of a quantitative research method. Key stakeholders were targeted through social media during the data gathering to ensure that a wide range of people participated. Descriptive statistical methods like graphical analysis were used to understand the answers and find essential trends in the sustainable textile business.
The results show that Finnish consumers like eco-friendly textiles, and the demand for these goods is growing. However, growth is limited by competitive prices, problems with regulations, and the fact that Bangladeshi makers don't know the standards in the Finnish market. The study suggests branding campaigns, policy support, investments in green technology, and certifications to improve Bangladesh's place in Finland's sustainable textile market.
