The purpose of this article is to summarize a systematic approach to the implementation and development of green technologies in the global textile industry. The key conclusions are as follows: • along with environmental harm caused by a manufacturing component of the textile industry, a logistics component also has a very significant impact on the environment; • the issues of transition of the global textile industry to an environmentally responsible way of development should be addressed systematically through a comprehensive transformation of manufacturing and logistics components; • green manufacturing technologies, supplemented by "green" logistics technologies, as well as the transformation of consumer demand towards environmentally sound textile products, ensure a systemic and synergetic effect, which is expressed in a significant reduction of anthropogenic and antropogenic load on the environment. © 2017.
