Synopsis

This timely and important book aims to help achieve a more sustainable textile industry; researchers from both textile and environmental domains will benefit from reading it.

Since it is imperative to rehabilitate our damaged environmental ecosystems, there is a pressing demand for more sustainable green processes in the textile and clothing industry. As a consequence, greater emphasis needs to be placed on research into eco-friendly processes particularly suited for this industry. With this goal in mind, all environmental aspects relating to the textile and clothing industry are discussed in this book in four broad areas:

• Highlights the negative impact on the environment by textile industries;
• Discusses textiles finishing by natural or eco-friendly means;
• Promotes natural dyes as environment-friendly alternatives to synthetics;
• Reviews textile effluents remediation via chemical, physical and bioremediation.

Included in the 11 informative chapters are topics covering the correlation between the environment and the processing and utilization of textiles and clothing. The book opens with a discussion on the direct impact that the textile industry has on the environment. The hazardous environmental consequences that synthetic dyes used to color textiles have on the environment are highlighted in the next chapter. Greener alternatives to dyeing are discussed in detail in the next chapters followed by a discussion of eco-friendly ways of finishing textiles. The book concludes with a section of chapters providing solutions to address the environmental hazards associated with the textile industry.
