Textile processors have begun focusing on pollution reduction, on a process-by-process basis. But we need to think about his holistically, so that, at each step of the processing cycle, we make decisions that impact down stream process, beginning with product design and ultimately involving the consumer.

Global needs cannot be met by concentrating only on the product design and products effects on downstream processing. We should also examine the manufacturing process, in terms of containers, machine parts, drums, mix tanks, etc, to reduce solvent loss and quality. Such thinking should extend even to the consumers use of products, in terms of after-market treatments, cleaning solvents, use conditions, installation and maintenance and so on.

Conclusion

Garment dyeing brings with it a plethora of possibilities, which can help the textile industry earn immense benefits. However, lack of vision and a few temporary hurdles are preventing it from playing its rightful role in textile processing. We need to take proactive measures and adopt a holistic approach to tackle the shortcomings, after which garment-dyeing will be all set to contribute a lions share to the success of the Indian textile Industry.
