Sustainable Technologies for Fashion and Textiles The Textile Institute Book Series

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Nayak Rajkishore

Couverture de l’ouvrage Sustainable Technologies for Fashion and Textiles

Sustainable Technologies for Fashion and Textiles combines the latest academic research and industrial practices to shed light on a wide range of activities that influence how the textiles industry affects the natural environment. Pressure from regulators, customers and other stakeholders has pressed companies to translate general sustainability concepts and ideas into business practices. This is leading to improvements in how the industry consumes water, electricity and chemicals, and to a reduction in the amount of waste generated by textile processes. This book groups approaches to these topics under four themes, fiber, yarn and fabric production, chemical processing, garment manufacturing and recycling.

Yarn and fabric manufacturing: sustainable technologies 6. Enzyme applications in textile chemical processing 7. Plasma technology in fashion and textiles 8.
