... Environmental issues in textiles Environmental effects of the textile industry:- * Processes used to produce a design can affect the environment but it is possible to assess how environmentally friendly a product is by carrying out a "cradle to the grave" analysis. * It isn't possible to extract raw materials without causing some danger to the environment. * Fabrics made from natural sources are biodegradable so waste disposal is not a problem and this causes little damage (if any) to the environment. * Synthetic fibres (made from coal or oil) are non renewable and the extraction causes significant environmental damage. They are not biodegradable. * Raw materials have to be transported to mills to be manufactured into yarns, fabrics etc. they are carried by road, rail, or ship.
