A Review on “The Sustainable Scouring Processes of Organic Cotton Fabric”

Abstract: The textile industry is focusing on consumerization in the name of adaptation of innovation and advanced technology. To meet the demand for sustainability, the incorporation of natural textiles is necessary, and the adoption of natural and less harmful processes for the finishing process of the textiles, such as scouring, bleaching, and other wet processing treatments, so that the minimum use of chemicals leads to less hazardous conditions for human beings and the environment. This study provides a broad, comprehensive overview of existing research on scouring methods for cotton fabric.
