The textile industry is considered the most ecologically harmful industry due to toxins released during dyeing and bleaching processes. This has led to a need for more eco-friendly or "green" textiles made from organic and recycled materials. Eco-textiles, also called ecotech or oekotech textiles, refer to textile products produced and processed using environmentally sustainable methods. Examples of eco-friendly fabrics include organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, and recycled polyester. The market for technical textiles used in environmental engineering applications is growing due to increased awareness of sustainability issues and regulations regarding waste management.

3. The textile industry is considered as the most ecologically
harmful industry in the world. The Eco-problems in textile
industry occur during some production processes and are
carried forward right to the finished product. In the production
process like bleaching and then dyeing, the subsequent fabric
makes a toxin that swells into our ecosystem.Therefore the
need for eco-textiles is felt.Green textiles refer to clothing and
other accessories that are designed to use the organic and
recycled material.

4. Any textile product, which is produced in eco-friendly manner and processed under
eco-friendly limits.
1.ECO-TEXTILE is also known as Ecotech, Okeotech and Eco friendly textiles.
2.Oekotech or Ecotech segment refers to use of technical textiles in Environmental
Engineering.
3.For new clothes, if you can find clothing made out of organic cotton, hemp, bamboo,
recycled polyester, or Tencel (made from wood pulp) -- these are the more eco-
friendly fabrics.

5.  Need to believe in environmental sustainability taking
incremental steps in supply chain processes to make it happen.
 Need to be aware about the social, economical and ecological
benefits of environmentally sustainable product development
processes.

 SOY BEAN FIBERS
 PINAPPLE FIBERS
 BANANA LEAF FIBERS
 BLACK DIOMAND FIBERS
 LYOCELL

9.  Bamboo: Bamboo receives lots of eco-buzz because it’s easy to grow
without pesticides and is quick to replenish itself.
 It’s when the processing starts that it potentially loses its eco status:
“Bamboo can be beautiful, and is a very soft fabric, but there’s a
chemical component to the manufacture that’s pretty toxic,” says
Grand.

10.  Soy Fabrics: Soy fabric is made from the by products of soy oil
processing and is a good option for underwear and bras because its
long fibres make it soft and silky.
 Just make sure your soy fabric is certified organic, sustainable, and
eco-friendly. Also check you aren’t getting a less-eco “soy blend” that
includes polyester and inorganic cotton in the mix.

11.  The current market size of Oekotech segment is estimated at Rs 68
Crore. The market is expected to grow based on spends on municipal
waste disposal in accordance with Municipal Solid Wastes
(Management & Handling) Rules, 2000, as well as greater awareness
and government activity on Hazardous Waste in accordance with
Supreme Court Guidelines.
