Functionality
AWAIS MUSHTAQ
 Introduction

 Major necessity of human life.

 Made of threads, fibres, and natural silk.
 Synthetic fibres are also developed.
 Production of cloths.
 Daily life cloths.
 Essential for exporting goods.
 Essential for producing yarn, clothing, woollen, and threads.
 Major pillar in the economy of country.
 Advancements in textile industry

 One of the fastest growing industry.

 Starts from natural material such as silk.
 Required bulk amount of water to produce cloth.
 Varieties of cloths are introduced.
 Synthetic materials are introduced.
 Synthetic fibres are introduced.
 Using nanotechnology for production.
 Production of self-cleaning, fire-repellent, and water-repellent cloths.
 Less amount of water required.
 Quality of clothes and yarns increased.
 More production in less time.
 Sustainable growth in the textile industry

 Most harmful industry.

 Usage of various chemicals for washing purpose.
 Dyeing clothes also produce waste material.
 Reuse of water after implementing sustainable practices.
 Using less water or no water in the production
 Fashion design industry is one of the assets of
textile.
 The textile industry is growing rapidly.
 Estimated value of global fashion market is 10
billion dollars.
 Sustainable practices capturing more investors.
 Functionality of the textile industry

 Producing varieties of clothes.

 Control all the aspects of production.
 Enhance the appearance of clothes.
 Provide resistance against injuries, diseases, chemicals, and fire.
 Essential factors for the advancement in
textiles

 Produce products as per the requirement.

 Evolution of industry time to time.
 Major factors that are involved in advancements.
 Material Selection

 Selection of sustainable material.

 Production of eco-friendly materials.
 Viscose, modal, and rayon are sustainable materials.
 Natural materials are also sustainable materials.
 Organic materials are highly sustainable.
 Natural materials include wool,
leather, hemp, ramie, cotton, and
mulberry.
 Organic materials are biodegradable
and can be recycled.
 Eco-design

 Design is essential for sustainability.

 Designing includes all the environmental aspects.
 Designing is based on recyclable, ecological, environmentally friendly, and ergonomic
nature of the textile.
 Less harmful for the environment.
 Fashion industry has increased the eco-designing.
 Eco-design involves the usage of light
colours.
 Less wastage and usage of water.
 Less amount of water required for dyeing.
 Eco-friendly products

 Alternative methods for producing products such as

 Air dyeing and whitening.
 Digital printing technology.
 3D design technology and waste free designing system.
 Low-temperature dying process and chlorine free bleach.
 Ink-jet printing and waste water recycling.
 Eco-friendly packaging

 One of the major parts of sustainability.

 Packaging material must follow sustainable practices.
 Reduce the usage of carbon.
 Eco-friendly shopping bags and packing bags.
 Recycled bags.
 Reusable bags.
 Achieving sustainable packaging
functionality.
 Using recycled material in packing.
 Conclusion

 Sustainable growth is possible in textile.

 Sustainability can be achieved by implementing sustainable factors.
 All the manufactured processes must be sustainable.
