Abstract
The textile industry is now facing many constraints. The creation of huge water and air pollutions and cost enhancement due to high energy consumption are two major constraints. The waste minimisation by process control can reduce the problem to a large extent, and the toxic chemicals can be replaced by ecofriendly enzymes and biopolymers like cyclodextrins. The consumption of water and thereby the reduction of water pollution can be achieved by using low-liquor padding processes and foam finishes. Plasma treatment can modify the surfaces of textile materials, and thereby various functional properties can be changed. These new dry finishing processes have a promising future.
