Biotechnology: An Eco-friendly Tool of Nature for Textile Industries

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Functional Finishing of Textiles

Part of the book series: Textile Science and Clothing Technology ((TSCT))

Abstract

Biotechnology has impacted the textile industry through the improvement of more proficient and eco-friendly manufacturing processes, as well as by facilitating the amended designs of textile materials. Traditionally, the growing textile industry requires harsh chemicals, a lot of costs, labor, and energy for processing. Efforts due to heavy energy costs and water deficit are being made to substitute the conventional chemical processes with eco-friendly and economically alluring bioprocesses. Applications of laccases for nape removing, fabric processing, bio bleaching, dyeing, printing, and cellulases for denim finishing are the recent commercial advancements. Latterly, tools of biotechnology also include the modification of synthetic and natural fibers. This chapter represents the application of biotechnological tools involved in the textile industry to make it more clean and global friendly. This manuscript is about to explore the design and engineering of novel enzymes for textile applications. Hopefully, this chapter will give a new guideline to the textile community, academic researchers and traders to move towards the applications of biotechnology for improvement of textile processing.
