Energy-Efficiency Improvement Opportunities for the Textile Industry Ali Hasanbeigi China Energy Group, Energy Analysis Department Environmental Energy Technologies Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ABSTRACT The textile industry is one of the most complicated manufacturing industries because it is a fragmented and heterogeneous sector dominated by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Energy is one of the main cost factors in the textile industry. Especially in times of high energy price volatility, improving energy efficiency should be a primary concern for textile plants. There are various energy-efficiency opportunities that exist in every textile plant, many of which are cost-effective. However, even cost-effective options often are not implemented in textile plants mostly because of limited information on how to implement energy-efficiency measures, especially given the fact that a majority of textile plants are categorized as SMEs and hence they have limited resources to acquire this information. Know-how on energy-efficiency technologies and practices should, therefore, be prepared and disseminated to textile plants. This guidebook provides information on energy-efficiency technologies and measures applicable to the textile industry. The guidebook includes case studies from textile plants around the world and includes energy savings and cost information when available. First, the guidebook gives a brief overview of the textile industry around the world, with an explanation of major textile processes. An analysis of the type and the share of energy used in different textile processes is also included in the guidebook. Subsequently, energy-efficiency improvement opportunities available within some of the major textile sub-sectors are given with a brief explanation of each measure. The conclusion includes a short section dedicated to highlighting a few emerging technologies in the textile industry as well as the potential for the use of renewable energy in the textile industry.

The Relationship Between Cultural Heritage Tourism and Historic Crafting & Textile Communities Abstract The tourism industry continues to grow exponentially each year as many First and developing nations utilize its many subsets to generate commerce. Of the many types of tourism, arguably all countries employ heritage tourism as a method to protect their varying forms of cultural heritage , to establish national identities and grow their economies. As it is understood, to create a national identity a group of people will first identify what they consider to be the culturally significant eaturf es of their society that embodies their heritage. Heritage is a legacy that will be passed onto future generations that encompasses customs, expressions artifacts structures etc. This thesis will focus on the production of crafts and textiles as material culture for heritage tourism markets as a segment of cultural heritage. It will examine how the production of material culture is affected when it intersects with large scale heritage tourism.

    ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY SARITA SHARMA Department of fashion Technology, International College for Girls, Jaipur, India E-mail : [email protected] Abstract- Energy is one of the most important ingredients in any industrial activity. The availability is not infinite however. Energy crisis globally, as well as high cost of fuels resulted in more activities to conserve energy to maximum extent. Energy crisis globally, as well as high cost of fuels resulted in more activities to conserve energy to maximum extent. The textile industry is one of the major energy consuming industries and retains a record of the lowest efficiency in energy utilization. About 23% energy is consumed in weaving, 34% in spinning, 38% in chemical processing and another 5% for miscellaneous purposes. In general, energy in the textile industry is mostly used in the form of: electricity, as a common power source for machinery, cooling & temperature control system, lighting, equipment etc.; oil as a full for boilers which generate steam, liquefied petroleum gas, coal. And this has made pathway to conservation of energy which can be affected through process and machinery modifications and implementation of technological advancements relating to process optimization as well as development of newer methods to meet the challenge of substantial energy saving in textile wet processing. Keywords– Textile industry, spinning, electricity, wet processing. I. INTRODUCTION II. TYPES OF ENERGY USED IN THE The conservation of energy is an essential step we TEXTILE INDUSTRY can all take towards overcoming the mounting problems of the worldwide energy crisis and In general, energy in the textile industry is mostly environmental degradation.

  • Heat Setting, Yarn Cone, Cotton Yarn, Unevenness, Yarn Strength
    Frontiers in Science 2017, 7(3): 46-49 DOI: 10.5923/j.fs.20170703.03 Effect of Heat Setting Conditions on the Quality of Yarn Md. Rokonuzzaman, Md. Abdullah Al Mamun, A. K. M. Ayatullah Hosne Asif* Department of Textile Engineering, Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University, Tangail, Bangladesh Abstract In order to study the effects of heat setting conditions on the properties of 100% cotton yarn, 30/1 Ne combed ring yarn cones were heat setting in a XORELLA CONTEXXOR (yarn conditioning and steaming system). The quality parameters such as unevenness (Um% and CVm%), imperfections/km (thick places/km, thin places/km and neps/km), yarn hairiness, yarn strength (count strength product), moisture% and yarn cone weight were measured before heat setting and after heat setting (after 2 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours and 24 hours of heat setting) by using Uster evenness tester, yarn strength tester, moisture regain tester and electronics balance. Yarn quality was deteriorated after 2 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours and 24 hours of heat setting compared to before heat setting yarn. But count strength product, moisture% and yarn cone weight was found satisfactory level after 2 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours and 24 hours of heat setting compared to before heat setting yarn. As a result finished yarn should be delivered to the knitting and woven industry after 8 hours of heat setting due to better yarn quality. Keywords Heat setting, Yarn cone, Cotton yarn, Unevenness, Yarn strength Kinking and snarling during the unwinding process lead to 1. Introduction yarn breaks and loss of quality.

  • The Apparel Industry in West Europe
    Creativity at Work: The apparel industry in West Europe By: Jan Hilger November 2008 P Side 1 of 22 Creative Encounters Working Papers #22 Abstract The Apparel Industry was one of the first globally operating industries. Already in the early 1970ies did European fashion companies extend their manufacturing workbenches into lower cost neighbouring countries, making it one of the first industries to have a globally distributed network. In the first decade of the 21st century, the conditions for clothes manufacturing has changed considerably. The Sourcing Share of Asia increased dramatically especially since Chinas participation in the WTO in 2005 which led to the abolition of quotas. India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Malaysia and the Philippines also play a major role in the Asian Textile and Garment Market. But even so, West Europe, the Mediterranean Rim and the East European Countries still play an important role on the global textile and apparel market, maybe no longer from the volume perspective but in terms of variety, complexity and product quality, particularly for the more demanding markets. Latin America has seen a significant decline over the last decade but is developing similar strategies like Europe to compete through quality and specialty niche rather than volume. Does this mean that the West European Apparel Industry is dead? The European Textile and Garment industry has undergone a severe decline since 1970 which nearly made it extinct in some of the EU founding economies. The labour intensive manufacturing segment which is almost not existent in Western Europe today particularly suffered. The only uncritical area where specifically one country in Western Europe is still defending its share, possibly due to changed sourcing practices and a recently increased presence on the global marketplace is the textile sector in Italy, which has even seen a rise in both volumes and employees over the last decade.

  • Social Innovation Offers Five Golden Opportunities to the Apparel Industry
    Social Innovation Offers Five Golden Opportunities to the Apparel Industry The global apparel industry has grown significantly in the past decade, but at a heavy environmental and social cost. Social innovation can bring healthier, more holistic future growth. Social Innovation Offers Five Golden Opportunities to the Apparel Industry 1 Clothing transcended its function as a basic need centuries ago. Today, the global textile industry is one of the most influential sectors in terms of financial power and how it shapes wider trends, attitudes, behaviors, identity, and culture. Valued at up to $3 trillion, the global textile market accounts for 3 percent of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP). If the textile industry were a country, it would be the seventh-largest based on GDP. Yet success has come at a high environmental and social cost. Water pollution, high use of pesticides and insecticides, and labor abuses, among other negative practices, will increase as the industry grows. At the same time, even as consumers enjoy “fast fashion,” they are becoming aware of fashion’s impact on the world. There is a multitude of social enterprises in the apparel industry helping to solve its complex issues. We look at some of the forward-thinking companies and social movements that are poised to take advantage of consumers’ growing social awareness as they strengthen their businesses through social innovation. We believe there are five particularly crucial social innovation opportunities for apparel and textile companies to consider as they plan their short- and long-term growth strategy. We will examine each of these opportunities and provide successful real-life examples, after taking a closer look at the industry itself.
