ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES RELATED TO TEXTILE INDUSTRY MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION – ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE TERMS AND DEFINITION, MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION – ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE TERMS AND DEFINITION, MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES • Learn the environmental science and engineering terminology (page no. 441 -457 pollution prevention and abatement handbook) • Explain importance of environmental engineering for textiles • Discuss application of environmental science to textile industry • Introduction to environmental issues to textile industry and its need today.
IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING FOR TEXTILES Textile industry has been condemned as being one of the world’s worst offenders in terms of pollution • Chemicals • 2, 000 different chemicals • Water • large quantities used • In turn pollutes the environmentby • effluent’s heat • by its increased p. H • because it’s saturated with dyes, de-foamers, bleaches, detergents, optical brighteners, equalizers and many other chemicals used during the process.
IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING FOR TEXTILES Traditionally produced fabrics contain residuals of chemicals used during their manufacturing • Chemicals that evaporate into the air we breathe or are absorbed through our skin • Some of the chemicals are carcinogenic or allergenic • May cause harm to children even before birth
IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING FOR TEXTILES What constitutes a sustainable textile • Raw material • Textile production • Added chemistry • End-of-life
APPLICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE FOR TEXTILES What constitutes a sustainable textile • Environmental science is the study of the effects of natural and unnatural processes, and of interactions of the physical components of the planet on the environment. • Different regulations and norms have been introduced to regulate environmental impacts that textile materials produce • Develop different standards • OSHA • REACH • GOTS • ORGANIC COTTON • OEKO TEX • ISO STANDARD ETC
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES OF TEXTILES INDUSTRY • FIBERS • COTTON • WOOL • NYLON AND POLYESTER • RAYON
