The present paper, with the help of typical case studies, such as wool scour liquor disposal, utilization of leftover yarn in spinning and weaving departments, recycling of size, conservation of heat and water in disperse dyeing, recovery and utilization of salt in reactive dyeing, recycling of rags and used garments, and recycling of water in chemical processing, illustrates that the effective way for environment protection is to recycle waste as many times as may be practically feasible. However, the recycling methodology adopted must be economical. </span> Page(s): 223-232 2001-03-01T00:00:00Z http://nopr.niscpr.res.in/handle/123456789/24931 Title: Development of textile products for protection and enhancement of environment Authors: Banerjee, P K Abstract: Pre-seeded erosion control blanket, Coirsorb and Brecodrain, aimed respectively at arresting erosion, enhancing moisture retention capacity or soil and recovering useful land from marshy areas, have been developed from ecofriendly and biodegradable jute and coir fibres. The production processes or these three materials and their relevant properties have been discussed briefly and the scope of their application highlighted.

Majority of the techniques are not yet commercialized. However, wherever a clear economic justification and market for a particular product or process exists, progress has been rapid. It is thus expected that in future, many of the biotechnological processes would help in solving the environmental problems posed by textile industry.

It is observed that enzymes can replace harsh chemicals, catalyze reaction and operate under mild conditions. These are safe to use, easy to control and biodegradable.
