Abstract
The Indian textile industry is significantly contributing to the socio-economic development of the country but is often condemned for adverse environmental impacts. The textile industry encompasses huge consumption of raw material and produces high volume of waste as byproduct. When the waste is released into the environment, it contaminates the environment by polluting air, water, land and soil. The pollution impact of wet processing and fiber production is very detrimental to the environment. Whereas, yarn formation and fabric formation are responsible for heavy noise and dust generation in the workroom. Taking this forward, current study has makes an attempt to present an overview of environmental sustainability status of Indian textile industry and provide necessary suggestions. It is found from the study that pollution impact from fiber formation and wet processing of textiles is spread beyond shop floor but pollution impact of yarn formation and fabric formation are limited to the workroom only. An efficient waste management system can reduce these impacts.
