“…The highest rates of toxicity were noted for basic, diazo, and direct dyes (Karthik and Gopalakrishnan 2013a, b, c). Some algae and higher plants presented to effluent rich in disperse dyes at higher concentration tend to bio-aggregate the heavy metal particles from textile effluents (Karthik and Gopalakrishnan 2013b).…”

In the whole world today there has been a growing awareness of the damage caused to the environment by the haphazard use of chemicals, some of which are very poisonous and carcinogenic. The textile industry has been strongly criticised as being one of the world's worst lawbreakers in terms of pollution because it demands a large amount of water and chemicals. Although air, water, and noise pollution are created at every step of fabric treatment, the most problem-filled is fabric wet processing, in terms of the huge amount of water and goodly number of chemicals used in wet processing and on completion of the process, leftover dyes and chemicals together with water are discharged as effluents. As the amount of sludge created by wastewater treatment increases, effective reuse and safe disposal of sludge becomes most important. This chapter provides comprehensive information about the various methods and techniques in recycling textile effluents and sludge treatment process of textile effluents.

“…The expert team should first evaluate the supply part, which includes the equivalent carbon emissions from chemicals and auxiliaries, the amount of water resource, raw material/packing material, etc. Taking the raw materials choice as an example, environment benchmarks of textile fibers are shown in Figure 4 [65], which are proposed according to four aspects: non-polluting to obtain, process and fabricate; made from renewable resources; fully biodegradable; and reusable/recyclable. Besides, carbon emission evaluation functions should be provided for the sizing agent and auxiliaries used in weaving procedure, the chemical dyeing and auxiliaries used in dyeing procedure, specific chemical reagents used in the finishing procedures of various fabrics, the large amount of water resource consumed during the spinning and weaving procedures, etc.…”

Motivated by the recent blockchain technology originally built for bitcoin transactions, various industries are exploring the opportunities to redefine their existing operational systems. In this study, an innovative environmentally sustainable solution is proposed for the fashion apparel manufacturing industry (FAMI), which is energized by blockchain. Incorporating the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), and a novel "emission link" system, the proposed framework exposes carbon emission to the public and establishes a feature to reduce the emissions for all key steps of clothing making. Fully compatible with Industry 4.0, blockchain provides decentralization, transparency, automation, and immutability characteristics to the proposed framework. Specifically, the blockchain supported ETS framework, the carbon emissions of clothing manufacturing life cycle, and the emission link powered procedures are introduced in detail. A case study is provided to demonstrate the carbon emission evaluation procedure. Finally, a multi-criteria evaluation is performed to demonstrate the benefits and drawbacks of the proposed system.

“…The vicinity of colours in water will bring about human well-being issues, for example, nausea, haemorrhage, and ulceration of the skin and mucous membranes. Some algae and higher plants presented to effluent rich in disperse dyes at higher concentration tend to bio-aggregate the heavy metal particles from textile effluents (Karthik and Gopalakrishnan 2013b). Numerous dyes were known as cancer-causing agents, for example, benzidine and aromatic components, all of which may be developed as a consequence of the microbial digestion system.…”
