Abstract

This book includes a carefully-chosen and edited selection of 23 papers from the Ecotextile 2004 Conference held at the University of Bolton.

Ecotextiles is divided into five main parts:

+ Part one deals with recycling and use of waste as raw materials in such areas as clothing and carpet manufacture.

+ Part two discusses sustainability and eco-design with papers on improved design, use of sustainable fibres and manufacturing techniques.

+ Part three reviews sustainable development and renewables, including discussion of topics such as composites made from textile waste.

+ Part four considers waste management in such areas as dyeing and effluent treatment.

+ The final part of the book assesses novel technologies, including new fibres and finishing techniques.

As pressure from governments and consumers continues to grow, Ecotextiles is a valuable reference for the textile industry on best practice in sustainable production.

- A key guide to best practice in sustainable production

- Includes expert reviews of current developments in recycling, sustainable production and process optimisation

- Assesses novel technologies, including new fibres and finishing techniques
