Abstract:
Textiles play salient role in human life and are considered as a basic need along with food and shelter. As textiles have always been one of the most environment polluting industries, an attempt has been made to originate an appropriate textile processing method. Conventional textile wet processing presents a countless challenge to the achievement of environmentally sound and sustainable textile processes and products because of its adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Bio-finishing resulted as a good substitute of finishing of fabrics using enzymes, bio-polymer and aromatherapies. The employment of principles of green chemistry as well as additional aspects of cleaner productions will meaningfully attain ecological, economic, and social improvement. Utilization of biotechnology is one of the most important applications of emerging/sustainable technologies in textile wet processing as an eco-friendly green technology. Government has also reacted by evolving regulations and standards to accomplish global as well as national environmental objectives of eco-friendliness.
