Von der hinteren Coverseite

This important and unique book addresses the role of sustainability in fashion and textiles and shows the latest state-of-the-art advances in textile and fashion materials technology.

The alarming level of greenhouse gases in the environment, fast depleting natural resources and the increasing level of industrial effluents, have made every single manufacturing activity come under the scrutiny of sustainability. When all kinds of waste such as clothes, furniture, carpets, televisions, shoes, paper, food wastes etc. end up in the landfill, only a few of them are naturally decomposed, and thus a large majority remains as non-biodegradable.

As far as used textile products are concerned, there are now attempts to recycle or up-cycle. This book addresses the role of sustainability by using textile waste in fashion and textiles with respect to manufacturing materials. In particular, it discusses utilization of natural waste for sustainable textile coloration; sustainable encapsulation of natural dyes from plant waste for textiles; using waste in handloom textiles. The book also details the economic and business challenges and opportunities it poses. In particular, it discusses innovating fashion brands by using textile waste; business paradigm shifts of 21st century fashion from recycling and upcycling; the circular economy in fashion and textile from waste; and offers future pathways of waste utilization for fashion.

Audience

This book is suitable for both researchers and industry specialists in the following fields: clothing manufacturing and fashion designers, textiles, dyes and pigments, green chemistry, materials science, sustainability and waste management, the circular economy.
