The textile industry is a major environmental polluter. Despite some progress in textile treatment processes and in energy saving, progress is slow, and CO2 emissions continue to rise. In order to better manage the environmental impact of textile treatment processes, it is necessary to understand their principles to be able to improve or replace them with a more environmentally friendly process.

This book begins by introducing sustainable practices in the textile industry that are less polluting followed by eco-friendly finishing treatments. Next, the principle of heat and mass transport in fabrics and the practical applications of these theories are explained. Finally emerging environmentally friendly technologies are discussed.
