“…This gure shows that bio-treatment of wool with the protease enzyme I or II caused partial descaling of the bre surface without severe bre deterioration. Controlled wool bre descaling is one of the methods usually adopted for improvement of the resistance of wool to felting shrinkage [34] and pilling [35] with enhanced bre surface wettability [36] and smoothness [37]. The scanning electron micrographs of untreated or bio-treated wool fabrics after being post-treated with PAS show a thin layer of the used polymer on the bres surface which would enhance the fabric smoothness and reduce the tendency of the bres to felt-shrink [38].…”

Production of textile garments with pleasant aesthetic property is always a customer-demand; and the application of eco-friendlier methods to attain this target is driven by the environmental legislation all over the world. The main aim of this study is improving garment appearance and performance attributes of wool fabric by two-consecutive benign processes using bio-and chemical treatments. Two commercial proteases were used in bio-treatment of wool under their respective appropriate conditions. The biotreated wool fabrics were modi ed with an aqueous solution of a water-dispersible cationic softener based on poly amino siloxane (PAS). The effects of these treatments on some of the physical and mechanical properties of wool fabric were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows the descaled surface of bio-treated wool, and the coated bre surface of AS-treated wool. Results of this investigation showed that the drapability, and hence the aesthetic property, of the treated fabric was improved. Based on the bending length, drape coe cient, wettability, smoothness, yellowness index, and AC electrical conductivity of the treated wool fabrics, selected samples were assigned to be used in prediction of the garment appearance using CLO3D simulation software.

“…Sericin was used to improve the felting resistance of wool by coating and spot welding of the tips of the surface scales [144]. The printability of wool fabrics with acid and reactive dyes was enhanced after being treated with sericin [145]. In another investigation, sericin was utilized in imparting antimicrobial properties and improved touch to wool fabrics [146].…”

Ever since the Stone Age, humans have preferred natural products and materials for better health and comfortability. Wool and natural silk have been used in the textile clothing thousands of years ago. The performance and appearance attributes of wool and silk make them superior for many applications. On the other hand, the textile industries are technically, economically, socially, and environmentally related to some of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030. For instance, the item number 12 in the SDGs aims to ensure sustainable consumption and production pattern. This necessitates proper utilization of all natural products as well as recycling and utilization of any waste thereof.This article review deals with retrieval of wastes or by-products during wet processing of proteinic fibres; namely wool and silk. Different ways of proper utilization of the retrieved materials will be proposed. Specifically, this review article will focus mainly on three main by-products; namely keratinous materials, wool wax, and sericin. State of the art and future prospects for the utilization of these materials in the production of textile auxiliaries; Viz. softeners, binders, and flame-retardants, were discussed.
