Printing is the process of transferring a specific pattern or design onto the surface of textile fabric. In the printing process, screen printing is one of the fundamental printing methods on textiles and is widely used worldwide. However, screen-printed fabrics have specific properties like fastness, water absorbency, and whiteness index that increase the end-use properties of the printed fabrics. There are several factors that affect the technical characteristics of printed fabrics. This research focuses on an experimental approach to ascertain and confirm the pre-treatment process as one of the most important factors in pigment dye screen-printed fabrics. The main raw material used in this research was 100% cotton fabric with a plain weave structure. The experimental method used in this research involved the pre-treatment (singeing, scouring, and bleaching) process with different recipes and four samples. Screen-printed fabric after printing was tested for its technical properties using standard test methods. The results of a one-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) were analysed using MINITAB and Microsoft (MS) Excel software. The results indicate superior fabric technical properties like color fastness to rubbing and washing, coupled with improved water absorbency and excellent whiteness index values of samples printed after bleaching with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). In this research, we conclude that printed fabric after bleaching with H2O2 has the best color fastness, and bleaching with NaOCl is the next one. However, printed fabric has a low fastness property after scouring and singeing.

“…enzymatic bleaching with laccase/mediator systems, glucose-oxidases, peroxidases and enzymatically in situ generated peracids. However, the bio-bleaching process with laccase/mediator systems is reported to be very effective due to its specific action on coloured substances (Pereira et al , 2015; Špička and Tavčer, 2013). The use of laccases demonstrates that the enzymes decolorize or eliminate coloured flavonoids in cotton bleaching (Kim et al , 2007; Couto and Herrera, 2006) by alteration of phenolic hydroxyl groups (Pereira et al , 2015).…”

Purpose: This article discusses issues associated with the application Big Data Analytics for decision-making about the introduction of new technologies in the textile industry in the developing world. Methodology:We use the LMX theoretical framework to consider the nature of the relationships between owners and followers to identify the potential issues that affect decisionmaking. However, decisions to adopt such environmentally friendly biotechnologies are hampered by the lack of awareness among owners, intergenerational conflict and cultural impediments. Findings:The article found that the limited use of this valuable technological resource is linked to several factors, mainly cultural, generational and educational. The article exposes two key new technologies that could help the industry reduce its carbon footprint.Originality/Value: The study suggests more awareness raising among plant owners and greater empowerment of new generations in decision-making in the industry. This study, therefore, bears significant implications for environmental sustainability in the developing world where the textile industry is one of the major polluting industries affecting water quality and human health.

Enzymes are a sustainable alternative to the harsh toxic chemicals in the textile industry. As enzymes operate in moderate conditions of temperature and pH, energy consumption is reduced, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Both water consumption and waste generation during textile manufacturing are also minimized by enzyme use. As the enzymes are very specific in their actions, minimum by-products are generated. The risks to humans, wildlife, and the environment are minimized. Enzymes can be utilized in several steps of textile processing namely desizing, scouring, bleaching, and biopolishing of cotton, degumming of silk, bleaching and shrinkproofing of wool, biostoning (of denim), and for treatment of textile effluents.
