“…This problem is of major concern, especially when related to water contamination, since all forms of life depend on water resources [2]. Additionally, the textile industry is one of the industries with the highest water consumption: on average, approximately 125 L of wastewater is generated per textile processing unit [3][4][5].…”

“…The paper also highlighted the significance and limitations of each approach to improve the sustainability in reactive cotton dyeing along with suggestions for further improvements. Similarly, the latest trends in sustainable cotton dyeing using so-called 'green' approaches have been discussed in detail [145,[150][151][152][153]. Zahid et al [154] studied the potential of utilising gamma radiation, in comparison with the mercerisation process, to enhance the colour strength of reactive-dyed cotton fabrics.…”

Cotton in the new millennium: advances, economics, perceptions and problems

Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made fibres, both regenerated and synthetic fibres, has grown considerably in recent times but cotton production has also been on the rise and accounts for about half of the fibres used for apparel and textile goods. To cotton's advantage, the premium attached to the presence of cotton fibre and the general positive consumer perception is well established, however, compared to commodity manmade fibres and high performance fibres, cotton has limitations in terms of its mechanical properties but can help to overcome moisture management issues that arise with performance apparel during active wear. This issue of Textile Progress aims to: i. Report on advances in cotton cultivation and processing as well as improvements to conventional cotton cultivation and ginning. The processing of cotton in the textile industry from fibre to finished fabric, cotton and its blends, and their applications in technical textiles are also covered. ii. Explore the economic impact of cotton in different parts of the world including an overview of global cotton trade. iii. Examine the environmental perception of cotton fibre and efforts in organic and genetically-modified (GM) cotton production. The topic of naturally-coloured cotton, post-consumer waste is covered and the environmental impacts of cotton cultivation and processing are discussed. Hazardous effects of cultivation, such as the extensive use of pesticides, insecticides and irrigation with fresh water, and consequences of the use of GM cotton and cotton fibres in general on the climate are summarised and the effects of cotton processing on workers are addressed. The potential hazards during cotton cultivation, processing and use are also included. iv. Examine how the properties of cotton textiles can be enhanced, for example, by improving wrinkle recovery and reducing the flammability of cotton fibre.

“…Textile industry is one of the most demanding industry in water (Varadarajan and Venkatachalam 2016 ). But wastewater is not the only waste occurring from textile industry, indeed microplastics originating from the textile industries are pointed out as a major problem (Herbort et al 2018 ; Padervand et al 2020 ).…”
