The purpose of this study was to offer a general concept and overview of the textile industry’s environmental sustainability assessment. The textile and garment industries cause environmental damage at every stage of manufacturing, from the cultivation of raw materials through the disposal of finished goods. Chemical loading, high water consumption, high energy consumption, air pollution, solid waste, and odour creation are all key environmental concerns in the textile industry. To achieve sustainable production, it is necessary to examine the performance of the textile sector while considering the three elements of sustainability. To study and locate recent and related works, five keywords were used: environmental; sustainability; eco-design; manufacturer; supply chain management. All through the life cycle of textile products, the textile sector has a substantial environmental impact. This paper illustrates how the textile industry may use strategic ways to improve ecologically sustainable textile product usage and manufacturing. A discussion is focused on how to be increased sustainability in the textile industry. This paper introduces key principles for ecologically sustainable business practices to consider (e.g., eco-design, corporate social responsibility, and green supply chain management). It is critical that all stakeholders in the textile industry, including consumers, producers, environmental protection is emphasized in the manufacture and use of textile goods by the distribution chain and customers.
Global energy demand is rising, fossil fuel prices are rising, fossil fuel reserves are running out, and fossil fuel use contributes to the greenhouse effect. As a clean alternative source of energy to fossil fuels, biomass is becoming more and more essential. Carbon fiber (CF), often known as graphite fiber, is a thin, strong, and adaptable material utilized in both structural (capacity) and non-structural applications (e.g., thermal insulation).Precursors are the raw materials used to create carbon fiber, which is mostly derived from fossil fuels. Because of the high cost of precursors and manufacture, carbon fiber has only found employment in a few numbers of high-performance structural materials (e.g., aerospace). To reduce the price of CF and reliance on fossil fuels, numerous alternative precursors have been studied throughout the years, including biomass-derived precursors including rayon, lignin, glycerol, and lignocellulosic polysaccharides. This study's goal is to present a detailed study of biomass-derived CF precursors and their market potential. We look into the viability of producing CF from these precursors, as well as the state of technology, potential applications, and cost of production (when data are available). We go over their benefits and drawbacks. We also talk about the physical characteristics of CF made from biomass and contrast them with CF made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Additionally, we go into bio-based CF manufacturing and end-product concerns, logistics for biomass feedstock and plant sites, feedstock competition, and risk-reduction techniques. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the CF potential from all biomass sources and can be used as a resource by both novice and seasoned professionals who are interested in producing CF from non-traditional sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
