9780081020425 0081020422 This book provides a whole-lifecycle approach to the subject of sustainable textiles, from fibre production, through manufacturing to low-energy care and recycling. The scientific, industrial, regulatory and social aspects of this lifecycle are explored by an expert author team, who bring global perspectives to this important subject. The resulting book provides a practical guide for the industry, students and researchers which takes a holistic approach to inter-related topics that are typically viewed in isolation. The first part of the book provides detailed coverage of the sustainable production of textiles, with chapters devoted to each of the main fibre types, including new biosynthetic fibres, such as textiles produced from Polylactic Acid (PLA). The second part examines sustainable production methods, focusing on low carbon production technologies and sustainable, low-pollution methods of processing and dyeing fabrics. The final part explores the benefits of textiles designed to enable low-energy fabric care, via both finishes used to treat the fabric, and better care labelling. Completing this whole-lifecycle overview of textile sustainability, re-use and recycling options are covered. In addition, ethical aspects such as fair trade fabrics are considered. Develop an integrated understanding of sustainability through the whole supply-chain - from agriculture, through manufacturing and fabric care, to recycling... Lean how to make optimal choices of fibre and manufacturing technologies to achieve the sustainable production of high-quality apparel and other textile products. Gain a wider understanding of emerging regulatory frameworks that will shape the future of sustainable textiles
