ABSTRACT
Textile industry is the second largest industry in the world next to agriculture.1 The textile industry provides employment to numerous people around the world. The pollutants released by the global textile industry are continuously doing unimaginable harm to the environment. They pollute land and make them useless and barren in the long run. It has become utterly necessary to reduce the pollutants emitted by the textile industry. Contamination of air, water, and land by the textile industries and its raw material manufacturing units has become a serious threat to the environment. It has endangered the life of human beings and various other species on Earth. Global warming is a direct result of the pollutants released by such industries. It also causes harmful diseases and health issues in people getting exposed to the pollutants in the long run. The emphasis on awareness about the environmental concern such as air, water, and noise pollution during the processing from fiber to fabric is essential in the present circumstances. The use of organic raw material can help in fighting the emission of pollutants by the textile units. Organic cotton is especially beneficial as the production of cotton needs a maximum amount of pesticides and fertilizers.
