Abstract

Textile industry is one of the fastest growing industries, so environmental issues are increasingly associated with it, leading to the introduction of requirements and standards to prevent further pollution. The main requirements are protection of people in the use and manufacturing of textiles, the ban of toxic and carcinogenic substances, the reduction of energy consumption and natural resources, environmental protection and proper waste management. In the past, the focus was on increasing textile production and lowering costs to the extent that seriously endangers the environment and human health. Today, there is more discussion about sustainability of textile manufacturing and developing of eco-labels, but the future holds much greater demands and introduction of new alternative raw materials and production methods.
