High value add bio-based low-carbon materials: Conversion processes and circular economy

Textile and fashion industry is an innumerous employment generation avenue however there is no denying the fact that it is also credited as world’s most wasteful and polluting (second only to oil industry), energy-intensive and an inefficient industries, thanks to the extensive exploitation of natural resources and ever increasing consumption of pesticides, fertilizers and other toxic chemicals. Moreover, the massive soil degradation, emission of greenhouse gases, increase in carbon footprint and water pollution are some of the issues which need to addressed if the planet earth is intended to be inhabitable for future generations.

Hazards of fashion and textile waste: Approaches for effective waste management

A comprehensive review on textile waste valorization techniques and their applications

Solid Waste Management in Textile Industry

Achieving Sustainability: Five Strategies for Stimulating Out-of-the-Box Thinking Regarding Environmentally Preferable Products and Services

This paper is a collective review on the different methods available to recycle textile wastes namely composting, paper making, techniques adopted by fashion brands to recycle old clothing. Special focus is given to technical textiles, composites and non-woven sectors that involve product development using upcycled wastes. This can be an eye opener to researchers and industrialist’s world-wide to indulge in more research activities and serve in reducing the landfill pollution

Waste Management Technologies in Textile Industry

This paper finds meaning for organic wastes and its management in a way that the resultant method provides a sustainable solution. Facts reveal that 60% of wastes discarded in landfill are organic and could have been recycled. The ignorance on available recycling technology and its popularity is a threat to mankind. In an era where industries are growing Multifold so as the population, the dependable fuel resources are depleting and alarming. The available fuels are also in an expensive way thus giving research opportunities to explore innovative energy sources. In this manuscript, the sustainable solution of briquetting the bio-mass has been addressed so that the scholars, research fraternity and entrepreneurs will be motivated for their contribution thereby restoring the balance in nature.

Exploring the Potentialities and Future of Biomass Briquettes Technology for Sustainable Energy

ABSTRACT Musa Acuminata SAP has greater influence on moisture management property of the fabric. The fabric finished with Musa Acuminata SAP also shows higher level of comfort. An examination was made on the effect of Musa Acuminata SAP-finished fabric on moisture management properties of the cotton-finished fabric like wetting time, absorption time, spreading area, spreading speed, accumulative one-way transport index, and moisture management capability. The results prove that the fabric finished with the highest concentration of Musa Acuminata SAP at a moderate temperature with the least processing time has good performance in the moisture management behavior of the finished fabric when compared with the lower concentration of Musa Acuminata SAP with the highest temperature at the highest processing time.
