The textile industry has a significant environmental impact, including solid waste production, water pollution, climate change, and air pollution. Water pollution is a major issue due to the industry's substantial water consumption and contamination with chemicals and colors. Air pollution is also a ...
Sustainable production: sustainable production can help reduce the environmental impact of textile production, such as using automated production lines or improving productivity, while reducing energy consumption and waste of raw materials. To develop a new generation of environment-friendly and healthy tex...
The textiles industry is a substantial contributor to environmental impacts through the production, processing, use, and end-of-life of garments. Wool is a high value, natural, and renewable fibre that is used to produce a wide range of garments, from active leisure wear to formal wear, and...
Environmental impact assessment of an eco-efficient production for coloured textiles. J. Clean. Prod. 108, 514e524. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2015.06.032.Parisi, M.L.; Fatarella, E.; Spinelli, D.; Pogni, R.; Basosi, R. Environmental impact assessment of an eco- ...
Increased textile reuse and recycling could potentially reduce the production of virgin textile fibres and, in the case of reuse, also avoid engineering processes further downstream in the textile product life cycle, and thus reduce environmental impact. The potential environmental benefits of various ...
This paper reviews studies of the environmental impact of textile reuse and recycling, to provide a summary of the current knowledge and point out areas for further research. Forty-one studies were reviewed, whereof 85% deal with recycling and 41% with reuse (27% cover both reuse and recycling...
textile reinforced concrete (TRC); life cycle assessment (LCA); environmental impact; high performance concrete (HPC), carbon fibers; AR-glass fibers; basalt fibers1. Introduction Civil engineering is one of the largest global consumers of material resources, and producers of waste and harmful ...
In this context, and considering the importance of colored products in present day societies, it is of relevance to optimize the coloring process with the objective of reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry. For this purpose, liposomes could be used to carry several encapsulated ...
Finally, the textile industry's and consumers' responsibilities in moving toward the production of environmentally sound textile products are discussed. The assessment of the environmental impact of a product is a complex issue, and solutions cannot be achieved without action by the government, ...
Third-party verified by SCS Global Services, an international leader in environmental certifications, the EPDs analyse the entire production process from raw material extraction, transportation, packaging, manufacturing, use and end-of-life. The main impact categories covered...
