Textile waste management and environmental concerns

Influence of Recovery Efforts on Solid Waste Management Practices in Nigeria: A Review

“…Recyclables include materials of high quality which has have been remodelled to other resources and sociotechnical optimum systems in integrated business processes, peculiar to individual and business needs. The resources are extracted from common household waste materials such as paper/cardboard, plastic, metal, glass, rubber, leather, and textiles (Pervez et al, 2021). End users of products that were initially cleaned and sorted have become profitable merchants in factories, which use these recyclables as raw materials for manufacturing an alternative invention (Khan et al ., 2022).…”

Sustainable fashion: Design of the experiment assisted machine learning for the environmental-friendly resin finishing of cotton fabric

“…Cotton's adequate air permeability, mechanical characteristics, softness, and comfort ensure that it continues to be the most widely used natural cellulose fabric globally, despite the proliferation of synthetic textile fibers. Cotton, on the other hand, has a tendency to wrinkle, which, in comparison to the properties of many polymers, restricts its use in applications involving public protection and draws attention away from its viability as a material for clothing [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ].…”

Sustainable and eco-friendly dyeing of traditional grass cloth with a reactive dye in palm oil medium

“…7,8 The produced effluent needs to be decolourised for discharging to the local watercourse and for this purpose diverse treatments involving physical, chemical, 9–11 biological, 12 and biochemical processes have been studied. 13–18 However, any kind of decolourisation process is costly and increases the production cost of textiles, and therefore, they are not favourable. To overcome the issue of effluent, it is necessary to develop a cleaner, zero-effluent dyeing process for the dyeing of grass cloths.…”
