Abstract

The chapter delves into the environmental impact of textile production, highlighting the need for sustainable practices to mitigate issues such as greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and microplastic pollution. It explores the potential of bio-based fibers as a sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic fibers, discussing their benefits and limitations. The text also examines various recycling methods for textile waste, including mechanical and chemical recycling, and their effectiveness in reducing waste and pollution. Additionally, it addresses the challenges of microplastic pollution from textile products and the importance of developing sustainable solutions. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the future of sustainable textile production and the role of innovation and policy in driving the industry towards a more environmentally friendly future.
