Textile industry and environment: can the use of bacterial cellulose in the manufacture of biotextiles contribute to the sector?

Sustainable manufacturing adoption in textile industries: A systematic state‐of‐art literature review and future research outline

“…The available literature only addressed the social, environmental, and SM practices. Research areas such as carbon footprint, SM implementation, performance measurement, SM enablers, SM barriers, solutions over the barriers, customer satisfaction, and market perspective, were provided with very little consideration in the past literature. The analysis shows that most of the studies are using only experimental and laboratory practices, followed by content analysis and statistical analysis. No study in the literature has focused on the toxic impacts on both environments as well as human lives. In addition, there is less research available in the literature that focuses on low water and utility consumption. No research study has focused on C2C (customer to customer) approval for textile industries and on the customer's awareness toward SM adoption in textile industries. No research study was reported in the literature on the framework development of SM adoption in textile industries that emphasize on new digital technology (like Industry 4.0, circular economy, machine learning, artificial intelligence) adoption for better as well as effective utilization of the resources. No research study has addressed the study on to enable exports, and optimum capital expenditure focus on building efficient manufacturing capacity. Few research studies (de Oliveira et al, 2021; Provin et al, 2021; Shahidi, 2021) focused on the reduction of textile wastewater and the formulation of environmentally friendly techniques. No research study has focused on examining potential business opportunities for local and international firms to invest in the textile sub‐market for expansion and profitability No research study addressed SM implementation practices in manufacturing by evolving and developing a set of key performance indicators to measure and evaluate; improve ecological, conservational, and economic organization implementation at the business, trade, industry, and production levels. Lack of research study on policymaking and suggestions to unlock the potential of the textile manufacturing sector.…”

“…It was found that nine literature review significant articles have been published on SM adoption in the textile industry that focuses on sustainability. These literature reviews articles focus on issues such as the Properties and applications of nanoparticles in the textile industries easily distinguish and can be used to recycle (Shahidi, 2021), sustainable materials (Provin et al, 2021), traditional textile processes, and re‐engineering (de Oliveira et al, 2021), interdisciplinary collaboration with industry (Beyers & Heinrichs, 2020), circular economy (CE) in their developing a sustainable supply chain (Jia et al, 2020), socioeconomic effects of Social and economic arising out of circular economy (CE) initiatives (Filho et al, 2019), corporate sustainability structures in the textile industry (Yang & Ha‐Brookshire, 2019), worldwide sustainability issues in the textile industries (Desore & Narula, 2018), green supply chain management (GSCM) implantation issues related social and economical in the textile organizations (Köksal et al, 2017), investigation of various methods for sustainability (Despeisse et al, 2012) and concept in sustainability and path identification to improve the sustainability process (Arena et al, 2009).…”

“…In the textile manufacturing sectors “bacterial cellulose” is a sustainable material to keep this material instead of other materials; “bacterial cellulose” of durable goods in the textile industries as well as sustainable way, is recyclable, and does not harm the land, water, and environment. In addition, address the merits and demerits of “bacterial cellulose” (Provin et al, 2021). Combining magnetic nanoparticle technology (CMNT) used in the textile industry for wastewater treatment, smart manufacturing in textile, and flexible shielding materials to adopt sustainability (Shahidi, 2021).…”

Production of Bacterial Cellulose and its Evaluation as a Proton Exchange Membrane

“…Polymer membranes are the "heart" of fuel cells and therefore chemists are investigating new strategies to synthesize materials suitable for their production (Walkowiak-Kulikowska et al 2017). An alternative is the search for ecological materials to replace synthetic materials, with a view to the sustainability of the processes (Provin et al 2021). Therefore, the use of bio-based materials as substrates for the fabrication of key fuel cell components, to minimize the impact of their production, although incipient, is growing exponentially.…”
