Textile Waste Water

Clothing and textile industry are one among the biggest contributors of the landfills affecting the world’s environment. This industry is ranked third in contaminating the globe, after oil and agriculture industry. Various reasons involved for this, would be excessive demand and supply of cheap clothing (fast fashion) which leads to more waste. The customers are unware of what they buy? The consumers should first understand fashion- “Fashion is what we require or feel every day, it includes creativity, mood, tradition and lifestyle”. Today fashion industry is huge in terms of global business contribution. In spite of its popularity, as other businesses it also has gloomy character involved, where pressure is to reduce cost, fast fashion, toxic chemicals and dyes used, misuse the labor efforts, textile waste and over consumption of energy. This study analyses how we can reduce textile waste, water and energy by using Dry-Dye method on Recycled polyester derived from PET bottles. The basis of the research is to convey attention to the Modest Fashion customers as the material created by these innovations best suits their necessity, remembering their wellbeing and advantages to the worldwide condition.

Decolorization of Sumifix Blue and Reactive Red 2 Textile Dyes by Microbes Isolated from Textile Waste WaterAzo dyes represent the most commonly used group of dyes in textile industry and discharged into industrial effluents worldwide. Aims of this study are to isolate microbe from textile waste water and to determine their ability to decolorize Sumifix Blue and Reactive Red 2 textile dyes. Microbe was isolated from textile effluent of PT Timatex, Salatiga. The activity for decolorization was assayed by inoculating microbial isolates into dye containing medium. Living and nonliving cell were incubated in dye containing medium in order to determine if microbial cells involved in decolorizing dye. Five different microbial isolates have been isolated from textile waste water.  Isolates IBLTT_1 and IBLTT_5 showed the highest activity to decolorize Sumifix Blue, and only isolate IBLTT_1 showed the highest capability in decolorizing Reactive Red 2. Both isolates indicated positive potential towards biotreatment of textile waste water. Further results confirmed that decolorization was due to biodegradation, rather than physical adsorption by inactive cells.Keywords: decolorization, microbial isolation, Reactive Red 2, Sumifix Blue, textile effluent ABSTRAKPewarna azo mewakili kelompok pewarna yang umum digunakan pada industri tekstil dan banyak dijumpai di buangan limbah industri tekstil. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan isolat dari limbah tekstil dan untuk mengetahui kemampuannya dalam mendekolorisasi pewarna tekstil Sumifix Blue dan Reactive Red 2. Sampel diperoleh dari limbah industri tekstil PT Timatex, Salatiga. Uji kemampuan dekolorisasi dilakukan dengan menginokulasikan isolat mikroba ke dalam medium Nutrient Broth yang mengandung pewarna. Untuk mengetahui apakah sel mikroba terlibat dalam dekolorisasi pewarna, maka sel hidup dan mati diinokulasi pada medium tersebut. Lima isolat yang berbeda diperoleh dalam penelitian ini. Isolat IBLTT_1 dan IBLTT_5 merupakan isolat dengan kemampuan dekolorisasi Sumifix Blue tertinggi. Isolat IBLTT_1 juga merupakan isolat dengan kemampuan dekolorisasi Reactive Red 2 tertinggi. Kedua isolat tersebut menunjukkan potensi positif terhadap pengolahan limbah tekstil. Hasil lebih lanjut menegaskan bahwa dekolorisasi Sumifix Blue dan Reactive Red 2 disebabkan oleh proses biodegradasi, bukan diadsorpsi oleh sel yang mati.Kata kunci: dekolorisasi, isolat mikroba, limbah tekstil, Reactive Red 2, Sumifix Blue

Textile Waste Water

During the last decade, Bhilwara has developed into a leading place in the textile industry in India. The water used in textile industry is almost entirely discharged as waste. The effluents are very complex, containing salt, surfactants, ionic metals and their metal complexes, toxic organic chemicals, biocides, and toxic anions, which are harmful to both flora and fauna existing on our planet. Degradation of these non-biodegradable organic compounds is not possible by conventional treatment processes. The analysis of waste water with different quality parameters and photocatalytic bleaching was examined by using UV light in photochemical reactor with SnO2 catalyst.

The degradation and decolouration of textile waste water by gamma irradiation has been studied. Textile wastewater contain a mixture of dyes that difficult to degrade using conventional method, therefore it is necessary to find another method to degrade those dyes. Samples from effluent of textile industry were taken at certain time and have different in colour and condition. The addition of coagulant and radiation to remove the colour of the samples were demonstrated. Four kind of treatments were carried out in this experiment namely addition of coagulant, radiation, variation of pH and radiation, and combination of radiation with the addition of coagulant. The parameters examined were the change of spectra intensity, percentage of sedimentation after the addition of coagulant, and the percentage of the degradation. Combination of irradiation and the addition of coagulant induced decolouration and degradation of the waste.   Keywords: radiation, degradation, decoloration, textile wastewater

The fashion industry is the second largest polluting industry in the world. Different fashion cycles provide various options in the market, which leads to the rising concern of the environmental impact of the industry. Wastewater, carbon, and textile waste are different types of waste being generated by the industry. Textile waste is generated in two phases i.e. during production (textile leftovers) and post-production (discarded textiles). Therefore, it is important to look at the environmental impact of the textile industry and take initiatives to reduce the overall impact on the environment. The purpose of the research is to study how a couture brand manages the textile waste generated during the production and to generate ideas to reuse them. The couture brand in which the study was conducted was Shriya Som. The waste management strategy of the Couture brand Shriya Som was studied and analyzed in terms of waste generation and its reuse. The amount of waste being generated by the brand daily was evaluated and how much is reused and how much was going to landfill. Strategy to utilize the leftover fabrics were developed keeping in mind the brand identity. This study gives an overall perspective of textile waste management strategies being adopted by the industry. Also suggests ideas to reuse textile waste. It was found that most of the leftovers can be creatively reutilized in the product line itself to reduce or completely zero down the waste going to the landfills.

Waste water from the textile industry is one of the major sources of contamination causing serious health problems. In textile waste water, dyes are the main pollutant. In this research work textile waste water was treated with various organic acid-activated clays to remove the dyes. Pink Azo dye was selected as a component to remove from waste water. Adsorbent selected was bentonite clay and was activated by acids such as phosphoric, acetic, oxalic, and citric acids. Adsorbent characteristics have been analyzed through infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) while the removal of dye at various temperatures has been analyzed through Ultraviolet (UV) analysis. It was observed that the bentonite clay-treated with phosphoric acid had relatively maximum capacity to remove the dye while the clay treated with oxalic acid got minimum capacity to remove the dye from same waste water.

Fast fashion is becoming more and more popular nowadays and this industry is growing rapidly. In order to supply to the big demand of fast fashion clothing, company will need to increase the production of the clothing in shorter time frame. Besides that, to out beat the competitor, company will provide more choices of clothing in cheaper price to the customers. By practicing these actions to increase the business profits, company is behaving unethical to the manufacturer of the cloth. Most consumers are not aware of these ethical issues. This paper is will used and tested the conceptual model of fast fashion business ethics based on literature reviews. The finding from this paper will manifest the “real cost” of a cheap and branded fast fashion clothing and will be supported by real life event that happened. However, after realizing the problems, some company did make some changes and the solutions are stated in the paper as well.

Fibre Aspect Ratio

Discarded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles have damaged our ecosystem. Problems of marine fauna conservation and land fertility have been related to the disposal of these materials. Recycled fibre is an opportunity to reduce the levels of waste in the world and increase the mechanical performance of the concrete. PET as concrete reinforcement has demonstrated ductility and post-cracking strength. However, its performance could be optimized. This study considers a statistical-experimental analysis to evaluate recycled PET fibre reinforced concrete with various fibre dose and aspect ratio. 120 samples were experimented under workability, compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile tests. The results pointed out that the fibre dose has more influence on the responses than its fibre aspect ratio, with statistical relation on the tensional toughness, equivalent flexural strength ratio, volumetric weight, and the number of fibres. Moreover, the fibre aspect ratio has a statistical impact on the tensional toughness. In general, the data indicates that the optimal recycled PET fibre reinforced concrete generates a superior performance than control samples, with an improvement similar to those reinforced with virgin fibres.

Sustainable Behavior

In recent years, post-consumer textile waste has become an important issue that attracts attention from activists, scientists and the media. The production and use of clothing has more than doubled in the last fifteen years due to declining costs, streamlined operations and rising consumption under the influence of fast fashion. According to research, the average European buys as much as 26 kg of textiles each year and discards 11 kg, while a very small share of post-consumer textile waste is recycled. This article presents the findings of a study on household textile waste in the capital of Ljubljana. The research showed that despite the significant declarative environmental awareness of people for sustainable behavior in the field of textile waste, the share of those decreases with exposure to actual behavior. However, there are few people who are completely uninterested in reducing textile waste, as most people are aware of the problem and pay more and more attention to it. The authors study the management of textile waste and its creation by the inhabitants of Ljubljana in the broader context of the influences of fast fashion, as well as the cultural specifics of the Slovenian society.
