“…Because of the increase in demand for cotton products, the amount of cotton currently available is not sufficient to meet the market demand. To conserve cotton fibers as a natural resource and to reduce energy and water consumption during production, it is highly significant to make full use of wasted scraps in the production process and reuse textile waste [3]. Notably, in spinning, 4%-8% of cotton fibers are lost during the opening and cleaning processes.…”

In this study, waste cotton fibers were environmentally reused. First, they were milled into fine powders with particle sizes of around 30 µm and dyed for use as pigments. Dyeing properties of the cellulose powder were explored by determining the dye uptake, K/S value, and bath ratio. Among the various samples, powders with owf (on weight of fabric) of 0% dye (pristine cellulose powder), and 10% and 50% dyed powders were selected; and these powders were characterized by several methods to compare the properties of dyed and undyed cellulose. The surface morphologies of the powders were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Combining the SEM images with the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) data, it was found that the smaller the particle size, the larger is the surface area. In addition, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results revealed that with increasing dye concentration, the intensity of the C peak reduced, while those of O and S increased. Moreover, the main components of the dyed and undyed cellulose powders were found to be almost the same from the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results. Finally, the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) data revealed that the loss modulus was significantly larger than the storage modulus, demonstrating that the material mainly undergoes viscous deformation.

“…They have concluded that the reported procedures can be applied to sustainable management of textile wastewater. [109], have found that commercial and sustainable chemicals can be used to recover cotton from dye wastewater. The technology involves three progressive methods: (i] leaching of textile dyes by using Nitric Acid as a pre-treatment of original waste, (ii) Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) used in dissolution procedure and (iii) bleaching procedure used diluted hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite for final recovered cotton.…”

A critical review on advances in the practices and perspectives for the treatment of dye industry wastewater

Rapid industrialization has provided comforts to mankind but has also impacted the environment harmfully. There has been severe increase in the pollution due to several industries, in particular due to dye industry, which generate huge quantities of wastewater containing hazardous chemicals. Although tremendous developments have taken place for the treatment and management of such wastewater through chemical or biological processes, there is an emerging shift in the approach, with focus shifting on resource recovery from such wastewater and also their management in sustainable manner. This review article aims to present and discuss the most advanced and state-of-art technical and scientific developments about the treatment of dye industry wastewater, which include advanced oxidation process, membrane filtration technique, microbial technologies, bio-electrochemical degradation, photocatalytic degradation, etc. Among these technologies, microbial degradation seems highly promising for resource recovery and sustainability and has been discussed in detail as a promising approach. This paper also covers the challenges and future perspectives in this field.

“…The current linear model (extraction of resources, production, use and landfilling) is not sustainable, as the resources are limited and there is an ever growing demand [8]. Efforts on deeper implementation of circular economy are being made in several industrial activities, such as agriculture and food [9][10][11], paper [12], textile [13,14] or packaging [15,16]. Leather industry is also addressing these issues, as will be seen in the present paper.…”

Leather industry is facing new trends on production and consumption patterns due to society concerns. Circular economy is proposing a transition from the current economic model to a more sustainable one, in which waste is designed out and resources will be reused and recycled as long as possible. In this transition, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an important tool to help decision-making. In the present review, 39 English-written peer-reviewed papers related to LCA and leather have been found, 30 of which were published in the last 6 years, meaning LCA is nowadays an important subject. Papers are presented within 4 types, focused on: 1) the whole leather production process, 2) a single step in the production process (e.g, new technologies for unhairing), 3) waste treatment and recycling, and 4) life cycle thinking with ideas on long-term strategies for leather industries. As discussed in the literature review, leather industry has important challenges to address: increasing sustainability and transparency on the supply chain, and strengthening the beauty of leather. Taking up these challenges from a life cycle perspective will help leather industry flourish in the coming future. Graphical abstract
