INTRODUCTION
This report is intended to be valuable for the study of
• Raw materials and processing
• Energy Water requirements
• Major environmental impacts
• Waste Management
• Developing a more sustainable future for the
textile industry
IMPORTANCE
Clothes truly a basic human need , getting cheaper, they
follow fashion more rapidly and we’re buying more and
more
The Textile industry occupies a prominent position in Sri
Lanka’s industrial structure. It is considered as Sri Lanka’s
number one foreign exchange earner..
Minimizing environmental hazards while using the
resources efficiently, sustainable manufacturing has
became vital to cope with the increasing demand.

Textile industry is one of the
most complicated industrial
chains of manufacturing
industry.
It involves actors from
agricultural, chemical, retail,
service sector, waste
treatments etc.
RAW MATERIALS
World Demand
SUSTAINABILITY ???
Sustainable development is an organizing principle for human
life on a finite planet. It posits a desirable future state for human
societies in which living conditions and resource-use meet human
needs without undermining the sustainability of natural systems
and the environment, so that future generations may also have
their needs met.
Simply its Environmental friendly Materials
MANUFACTURING
Most of the time in textile industry, Dyeing and
finishing processes use lots of CHEMICALS
Chemical dyes
Resins to make fabrics
Softeners to improve the feel
So careful handling is vital
PROPER DISPOSAL
Since the industrial effluents are vulnerable to
environment proper disposal should be vital
Industry experts should take their maximum
effort to recycle the byproducts and waste or
either treat it before exposing to Environment
Most of the time
Textile Industry depends
on energy taken out
from fossil fuels.
It contribute to the
green house effect by
enhancing the amount of
CO2 release.
RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY
Production methods
need to be improved to
consume less power
Also companies should
start using alternative
power sources. Like solar
and wind
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
For the upliftment of the industry and for a greener world
technology can also play a major role.
• Advancements in Nano technology can be used to
replace general raw materials into an more chemically
advanced and reliable ones.
• Robotic technology can be used for an efficient working
environment with less wastage of resources.
4R CONCEPT
4R concept is one of the best concepts which can be
applied into textile industry for a sustainable future
