- 4. Indian Textile Industry The second most important economic activity in the country, in terms of employment generation (after agriculture). Abundant availability of raw materials such as cotton, wool, silk and jute, as well as a skilled workforce, have made the country a sourcing hub It accounts for about 24 percent of the world's spindle capacity and eight percent of global rotor capacity The sector contributes about 14 percent to industrial production, approximately, four percent to the gross domestic product (GDP), and 27 percent to the country's foreign exchange inflows The Indian textile industry today has approximately 1,200 medium to large scale textile mills. The industry is concentrated in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, Ludhiana, Punjab, and Panipat, Haryana. Tirupur produces 60 percent ofthe country's total knitwear exports. Attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth US $ 1,495.07 million during April 2000 to September 2014.

- 6. 1 : Cotton Cultivation Conventionally grown cotton accounts for more than 25% of worldwide insecticide use and 10% of the pesticides SOLUTION: Hemp: The crop with the most potential for eco-friendly textile use is hemp. The ecological footprint of hemp is considerably smaller than that of most other plants considered for their fibres. Bamboo Fibre: can thrive naturally without using any pesticide. Even after fifty times of washing, bamboo fibre fabric still possesses excellent function of anti-bacteria, bacteriostasis. Organic Cotton: Organic cotton is much more environmentally-friendly than the traditional variety as it uses no pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides during the growing cycle. Even more promising is a new cotton that is grown in the tradition of the Aztecs -- coloured cotton Recycled Polyester: The Wellman Inc is the world’s largest polyester recycler. A new generation of fibre that is most suitable for diversified products range such as backpacks and blankets, T-shirts Soy silk : Soy silk is made from the by-products of the tofu-making process. Other such materials: Jute, Alpaca, Tencel

On top of that, bleaching and then dyeing the resulting fabric creates toxins that flow into our ecosystem Petrochemical-based products currently in use today emit toxic chemicals Residual dyestuffs – toxicity, colour, bio degradability Heavy metals contamination (Cr, Cu, Zn) Salts in effluent which is to be re used for land application Heavy levels of total oxidized sulphur (TOS) High Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) SOLUTIONS: Reduce water consumption during preparation , colouration and finishing. Reduce energy consumption during the operation processes of textile plants. Reduce aqueous wastes and off gases which pollute the environment. Improve process efficiency of the textile plants. Reduce exposure to hazardous waste materials from dyes and chemicals. These nets will eventually be churned into recycled textile fibres by Aquafil. Recycling and making natural fibres can help to generate more eco-friendly products. Rather then going for chemical processes companies should set objectives to make natural fibres. The North Face uses textile scraps to make this Denali jacket. Levi Strauss has spun iconic plastic bottles into iconic denim jeans and has worked with other countries to use Better Cotton Initiative.
- 8. •Chlorine-free bleaching: Chlorine-free bleaching is the use of hydrogen peroxide to whiten fabrics. •Hydrogen peroxide naturally degrades into oxygen and water, leaving no harmful chemical residue on the cloth or in the effluent. •Eco bleach: Eco bleach is the use of natural phosphates and silicates in cow dung combined with sunlight to achieve whitening of natural fabrics •This is the most eco- friendly form of bleaching. •Waste water recycling: Waste water recycling is the use of tertiary treated waste water in the dye baths and/or for irrigation purposes. •Its use reduces the strain on potable water supplies. Sustainable Processeses •Ink-jet printing: Ink-jet printing is a method of applying pigment and dyes to cloth using an ink-jet printer. It is considered the most eco-friendly and efficient method of printing •It decreases water wastage and energy wastage.

Poor working conditions for workers in factories leading to child labour, sexual harassment, etc Disposable clothing and Fast Shopping SOLUTIONS: Gender equality through proper legislation Fire Safety and Proper working condition Establish Enzyme Treatment Plants Government should permit new garment industries only in specific zones and not in residential or commercial areas.
