A sample work on green manufacturing in textile industry

Barriers to green supply chain management: An emerging economy context

“…The global textile industry is a complex industry consisting of agricultural, chemical industry, cotton manufacturing, synthetic fiber, clothing, retail, logistics and waste disposal units (Beton et al, 2014). Processes of the textile industry have long been criticized for being the major contributors of harmful environmental activities including high volume wastage of non-renewable resources, global warming, and the heavy use of pesticides and harsh toxic chemical materials (Alay et al, 2016). These processes and use of several chemicals not only increase environmental concerns, but also create greenhouse gas emission, cause depletion of water and resources, acidification and several health problems (Alay et al, 2016); (Roos, 2015a).…”

As a result, the textile industry feels the pressure to implement environmental-friendly supply chain processes due to increased public awareness and government regulations (Diabat et al, 2014).…”

Aquatic-Derived Biomaterials for a Sustainable Future: A European Opportunity

“…In order to overcome this solubility-problem, chitin is generally converted into the more soluble chitosan (its N-deacetylated form), which can be dissolved into weak acid environments. The enhanced solubility of chitosan allows its use in several technological fields, such as in membranes for water softening processes [52], in water treatments as adsorbing material (alone or grafted to selected nanometric substrates) [53][54][55][56], in the agriculture industry as a protective agent against oxidation [57], as a bioplastic for food packaging [58,59], in the cosmetic industry as a moisturizing/conditioning agent [50], as carbon precursors for the development of cathodes in Li-S batteries [60], and in biomedicine as a drug delivery system and/or as hydrogels [61][62][63], as an antimicrobial agent/coating [34,64,65], and as technical anti-allergic textiles/sutures [66,67].…”

Tururi (Manicaria saccifera Gaertn.): caracterização têxtil, processos e técnicas artesanais em comunidade local amazônica (PA - Brasil)

“…A geração de fibras eco-friendly, como o liocel e as fibras de quitosana, têm assumido um papel significativo na indústria têxtil nos últimos anos (ALAY et al, 2016).…”

“…Podem-se citar como exemplos: i) as estruturas têxteis que têm características sustentáveis, ambientalmente amigáveis e funcionais (ALAY et al, 2016); ii) processo de tingimento reativo totalmente reciclável para o algodão, baseado nos princípios de redução de resíduos, reutilização e reciclagem de recursos (CHEN et al, 2015); iii) estudos na cadeia de indústria de tinturaria têxtil (ANGELIS-DIMAKIS et al, 2016) e; iv) degradação de corantes na indústria têxtil através do uso de novas tecnologias (RAMAN; KANMANI, 2016).…”
