ECO FRIENDLY TEXTILES FOR SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT

The Indian Textile Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic life of our country but it is facing a challenging condition as consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with the adverse impacts of industrial pollution on the environment and their health. Textile industry should adopt more “eco-friendly” manufacturing through process optimization, reduced consumption of raw materials, reduce processing time, recycle, reuse and recovery of dyes/chemicals. Eco-friendly textiles should be the mantra for textile industry in the eco-conscious scenario. The market place should respond with new technology to fit to the demands of greener lifestyle as desired by today's consumers.
