Trends, Problems and Prospects for Textıle Production in Future
Summary
This article reviews trends, challenges, and future prospects for the textile industry, including the environmental impact of synthetic fibers. The widespread use of synthetic textiles is a significant source of microplastic fiber pollution entering waterways through laundry washing.

Textile recycling- A review
This review examines the growing global textile waste problem and technologies for recycling synthetic and natural fibers. Synthetic textile waste is a major source of microplastic pollution because fibers shed during washing and break down into microplastic fragments in landfills.
A critical review on environmental pollution caused by the textile industry
This review examines how the textile industry contributes to environmental pollution, including the release of microplastics from synthetic fibers during washing. The study highlights that non-biodegradable materials like polyester, nylon, and acrylic shed microplastic fibers that enter water systems, potentially harming marine organisms and entering the human food chain.
Environmental Degradation due to Synthetic Fibres
This review chapter examines how synthetic textile fibres—nylon, polyester, rayon, and acrylic—contribute to microplastic pollution through their entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to washing. Because these fibres shed millions of microfibre particles into waterways with every laundry cycle and persist indefinitely in the environment, the global textile industry is identified as a major, ongoing source of plastic contamination.
A Critical Review on Environmental Pollution Causes by Textile Industry
This review covers environmental pollution caused by the textile industry, including air, water, and soil contamination from synthetic fiber production and dyeing processes, touching on microplastic shedding from synthetic fabrics as one of several pollution pathways. While relevant to microplastics as a contributing industry, the paper is a broad environmental overview rather than a focused microplastics study.
Role of Textile Industries in Microfiber Pollution
This review examines the role of textile industries in generating microfiber pollution, tracing microfiber release during fabric production, consumer use, laundering, and end-of-life disposal as synthetic textile demand grows with fast fashion. The review documents pathways by which textile microfibers enter freshwater and marine environments and accumulate in aquatic biota, linking industry growth trends to escalating environmental microfiber loads.
