Reutilization of Leftovers from Agro-Industries for Textile Applications: A Mini Report

Abstract

In the present scenario, environmental anxieties and human heath are the two major factors concentrated in many engineering sectors. Man-made vitreous fibers and its usage in many diverse applications are exhibiting better properties on one face, whereas on the other turn it sparks a lot of harmful situations to the atmosphere and people involved. Moreover, nowadays due to enactment of governmental laws, extraction of green raw materials and development of green products for many applications without disturbing the nature are under progress. Plant based fibers used in the textile engineering are being extracted by the harvesting of flora, which in turn increases the deforestation and also diminishes the safety factor of the earth in near future. Meanwhile, the animal based fibers being used in the textile engineering are extracted after the slaughter of faunas, which again leads to destruction of living beings in huge amount. In addition the existing fibers used in textile engineering are of very high cost and not economically viable. However, huge amount of agro wastes with potential fiber contents are being discarded from many industries are to be explored to meet the increasing demand for natural raw materials as well as it can solve the above critical issues in the collection of raw material for textile processing industries.
