Description
Book SynopsisThis 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.
