Abstract
Abstract: This chapter is based on research to establish what constitutes an environmentally friendly textile, from the perspective of a practising designer. It identifies the environmental issues, the new goals and objectives, and the role of the designer in manifesting the necessary changes across the whole industry. The chapter identifies key environmental design strategies, and gives practical advice in the form of questions and exercises so that designers may engage their creativity to develop interpretations and alternatives based on their own methods of life cycle analyses. Because designers are in such key positions, the chapter also endeavours to explain the unique qualities that comprise the nature of design practice to others working within the field. There are also websites and suggestions for further enquiry.
