“…8 By blending different colors, a broad spectrum of yarns can be obtained, which show properties similar to conventional yarns produced from virgin materials. 9 The drawback is that the raw-material consists of mainly pre-consumer cotton waste, whereas only small amounts of postconsumer cotton can be added to the yarn production. 4,9 Nowadays, 75% of pre-consumer cotton is reused, 3 while postconsumer waste is more problematic to recycle due to coloring, impurities and degradation induced by sun light irradiation, mechanical abrasion, and laundering.…”

“…The cotton dust is particulate matter including soil, botanical trash and microbial matter [359]. As far as the impacts of spinning, weaving and textile processing are concerned from a cotton economic point of view, they are not very much different from that for other staple fibre types in that they all cause the consumption of large amounts of electricity which causes an increase in atmospheric acidification potential and elevated amount of CO 2 emissions [379,380]. Noise was a major issue with old spinning machines but this is now improving.…”

Cotton in the new millennium: advances, economics, perceptions and problems

Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made fibres, both regenerated and synthetic fibres, has grown considerably in recent times but cotton production has also been on the rise and accounts for about half of the fibres used for apparel and textile goods. To cotton's advantage, the premium attached to the presence of cotton fibre and the general positive consumer perception is well established, however, compared to commodity manmade fibres and high performance fibres, cotton has limitations in terms of its mechanical properties but can help to overcome moisture management issues that arise with performance apparel during active wear. This issue of Textile Progress aims to: i. Report on advances in cotton cultivation and processing as well as improvements to conventional cotton cultivation and ginning. The processing of cotton in the textile industry from fibre to finished fabric, cotton and its blends, and their applications in technical textiles are also covered. ii. Explore the economic impact of cotton in different parts of the world including an overview of global cotton trade. iii. Examine the environmental perception of cotton fibre and efforts in organic and genetically-modified (GM) cotton production. The topic of naturally-coloured cotton, post-consumer waste is covered and the environmental impacts of cotton cultivation and processing are discussed. Hazardous effects of cultivation, such as the extensive use of pesticides, insecticides and irrigation with fresh water, and consequences of the use of GM cotton and cotton fibres in general on the climate are summarised and the effects of cotton processing on workers are addressed. The potential hazards during cotton cultivation, processing and use are also included. iv. Examine how the properties of cotton textiles can be enhanced, for example, by improving wrinkle recovery and reducing the flammability of cotton fibre.

“…; Institute of Economic and Social Studies, 2016). Moreover, cotton is the most used natural fiber in the textile industry (Esteve-Turrillas & de la Guardia, 2017), and cotton quality is one of the critical success factors in the development of textiles (Gyftou, Pavlatou, Spyrellis & Hatz, 2000). Hence, cotton is the main non-food agricultural product with the most extensive international trade in the world (Mallqui, Quispe & Rabanal, 2017).…”

Do image and familiarity have a significant effect on purchase intention?

The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between the (i) country image of Peru, (ii) cotton’s product image, (iii) familiarity with Peru, and (iv) cotton’s product familiarity with the purchase intention of Peruvian cotton. Survey techniques were used to collect the primary data, applying a closed question questionnaire in two samples that represent the consumers of two countries with different levels of familiarity with Peru: France and the United States. This study has found that there is a positive association between the studied variables, in at least one sample. One of the main managerial implications is that Peruvian cotton exporters could innovate their global marketing strategies using Peru’s country image to improve the positioning of Peruvian cotton in international markets.
