“…Via this technique, the dye on the surface is decomposed by the laser beam and the subsequent components are converted to vapour and expelled away. The efficiency of fading is dependent on the wavelength of the laser beam, pulse duration and power density [3]. Laser technology provides infinite exploration and innovation possibilities for designers.…”

“…When low, it is difficult to obtain the effect, and on high laser strength, it may destroy the fibre bonds, leading to tearing and chemical damage [1]. Furthermore, the fading process is linked to a high eye damage potential [3]. It was hard to operate and maintain the early laser systems.…”

Denim washing is increasingly joining the list of indispensable processes of meeting the demands of the world’s shifting fashion industry. Other than this, there is a rising trend in the sustainability perception among both producers and customers in the modern world. However, denim washing is considered to have direct impacts on the environment because of its chemical discharge and many other pollutants emitted during the process which affect water supplies. In the process, the denim industry encounters challenges at every level. Therefore, there is need for studying sustainable problems associated with denim washing. The unseen soul of the denim industry is technology, as nothing can be transformed without technological advancement. Sustainability problems of conventional washing have been addressed in this paper (i.e. pp spray washing, bleaching washing, stone washing, sand blasting etc.). Furthermore, the paper describes how sustainability can be achieved through the most recent washing techniques, such as laser, waterjet, nanobubble, ozone, NoStone, potassium permanganate alternatives etc. The introduction of new technologies has triggered a dramatic shift in the denim washing industry in terms of water usage, electricity and chemicals as well as improved quality. Consequently, it is undoubtful that the recent technologies in denim washing are crucial in making the industry sustainable. Moreover, the paper describes the idea of digitally printed denim and the available software for measuring sustainability in the process of denim washing.

“…De este modo, los estudios tienden a centrarse en el cálculo de la HH en países, regiones subnacionales, ciudades y cuencas hidrográficas (véase Hoekstra, 2017). Al mismo tiempo, los estudios de la HH a nivel sectorial se orientan más al agrícola (Chapagain et al, 2006), minero (Ranchod et al, 2015) o ganadero (Gerbens et al, 2013), siendo reducidos los análisis para el sector industrial (Aviso et al, 2011;Boero y Pasqualini, 2017) que tienden a realizarse para productos específicos como alimentos y bebidas , textiles (Pal et al, 2017), cemento (Hosseinian y Nezamoleslami, 2018), combustibles (Dominguez et al, 2009) y automóviles (Berger et al, 2012).…”

Textile industry contributes a prominent role in global economy but is being condemned as one of the most polluting industry having inconsiderate effect on environment and human health. Due to the increase in the environmental concern posed by the textile industry, the demand for sustainable apparel has risen particularly in the west, signalling shifts in knowledge, beliefs and attitudes. Literature revealed a huge research gap in Indian context of consumer's attitudes and its antecedent towards Environmental Sustainable Apparels. The purpose of this research study is to examine the awareness level of consumers' environmental concern, knowledge level of the impact of textile and apparel industry on the environment and also investigates the influence of these on consumers' attitude towards environmental sustainable apparels. Data from 272 respondents is collected in northern India using a survey instrument in the form of a questionnaire through snow ball and convenience sampling. The data is analysed through descriptive statistics and correlation analysis using SPSS v21. The research reveals a huge environmental concern among educated Indian consumers. The bi-variate statistical analysis yielded a significant correlation between environmental concern of Indian consumers and their attitude towards environmental sustainable apparels. Level of the knowledge and belief as acquired by Indian consumers about the impact of textile industry on environment is very less, limiting their consumption of environment friendly clothing. The study will help the manufacturers and retailers to understand the antecedent to consumption of environmental friendly apparels and to work on the strategies to promote sustainable fashion clothing in Indian Market.
