World Fiber Report 2009
05 Mar, 2010, | | The US$45 billion polyester industry was no exception to this vagary. Both supply and demand declined. The polyester value chain lost almost US$0.70 billion worth of production as it ended the year at US$46.5 billion. While the loss in polyester segment was US$0.50 billion at US$16.5 billion, the filament segment was somewhat fortunate with a loss of just US$0.18 billion, now values at US$30 billion. Although polyester has been a major textile and clothing fibre, of late its use in industry, particularly in construction and automobile is remarkable. The global output of polyester was down 1.1% at 30.77 million tons and all sectors were negatively affected. Filament yarns somehow weathered the turbulences well by declining just 0.3% to 18.76 million tons while staple fibers, in line with falling cotton demand, were down 2.5% to 12 million tons Full story.. | | | Water Conservation in Textile Industry
30 Jan, 2010, | | The textile Industry is in no way different than other chemical industries, which causes pollution of one or the other type. The textile industry consumes large amount of water in its varied processing operations. In the mechanical processes of spinning and weaving, water consumed is very small as compared to textile wet processing operations, where water is used extensively. Almost all dyes, specialty chemicals, and finishing chemicals are applied to textile substrates from water baths. In addition, most fabric preparation steps, including desizing, scouring, bleaching, and mercerizing use aqueous systems. According to USEPA a unit producing 20,000 Ib / day of fabric consume 36000 liters of water. Full story.. | | |
