Navigating sustainability in textile production
Summary
This is a duplicate entry for the Bangshi River microplastic study (same as ID 2849) — the abstract content is identical.
In an effort to minimize its carbon footprint and protect the environment, the textile industry is shifting towards more sustainable approaches. Sustainable textile innovations are gaining popularity. Significant sustainability-related issues, such as excessive water and energy use and chemical waste production, are also plaguing the textile and apparel industries. In order to reduce its environmental effect and promote sustainable practices, the industry must address these concerns. This article provides instances of how the textile industry may make strategic changes to enhance the use and production of environmentally friendly textile products. The textile industry can enhance consumer satisfaction and protect the environment by prioritizing the development of safer and more sustainable textiles.

This is a policy and sustainability study reviewing the challenges and opportunities for environmentally sustainable textile manufacturing in India; it is not a microplastics research paper, though synthetic textile production is indirectly linked to microfiber pollution.
Addressing the Impacts of Textile Industries on Environment and Socio- Economic Condition of Bank Town and Baraigram Area: a Management Perspective
Not a microplastics paper — this study documents the environmental and public health impacts of textile industry effluents on communities and waterways near factories in Bangladesh, focusing on toxic chemical discharge, worker health risks, and the inadequate use of wastewater treatment infrastructure.
Sustainable Textile Industry: An Overview
This review examines the environmental sustainability challenges of the textile industry, covering chemical pollution, high water and energy consumption, and solid waste generation at every production stage, while discussing strategies such as sustainable materials, cleaner processing, and circular economy approaches.
Towards Sustainable Textiles for a Safer Planet: Main Topics
This review critically examines sustainability claims in the textile industry, arguing that despite advances in fiber development and recycling, true sustainability requires addressing microplastic shedding, energy use, and resource depletion throughout the full textile lifecycle. The authors distinguish between genuine sustainability and greenwashing.
