 All textile processes have an impact on the environment.
 The TEXTILE industry uses large amounts of natural resources such
as water, and many operations use chemicals and solvents.
 All TEXTILE industries use energy, produce solid waste, discharge
effluent and emit dust, fumes, etc to the atmosphere.
 Many TEXTILE industries are located in urban areas where
environmental protection is a key issue.
