Eco-Friendly Knit Garments Washing Implementation and Its Impact

Abstract

Environment pollution is one of the major threats to today’s world and researchers say most of the pollution comes from the washing industry. So, the study aims to find out an alternative way to the existing chemical wash process of the washing industry to save the environment. To conduct this study, one knit washing factory has been selected that has eco-friendly wash facilities. The eco-friendly wash process samples have been developed and finally show the comparison in respect of time, per day production and test result to the conventional chemical wash processes along with the impact of production cost on the garment. For all eco-friendly process, it has been found that water consumptions are too less in comparison with conventional process potentials which is partially related to Sustainable Development Goals 13 (Climate Action). This study might help to find out a new era of doing washed knitted product business without polluting the environment.
