This book highlights the concept and applications of Remanufactured Fashion. The first book on this subject, it covers reverse logistics, exemplars, and case studies of remanufactured fashion design. Textile waste is a major issue for all countries, and converting that waste into useful products offers a sensible solution. Remanufactured Fashion is one such sustainable waste management strategy. It involves the conversion of discarded garments into useful retail products, without which they would be dumped at landfills, posing a number of environmental issues. Remanufacturing recovers a product’s inherent value once that product no longer fulfills the user’s desired needs. The application and use of discarded clothing in remanufacturing processes could greatly reduce the percentage of clothing waste (and mitigate related waste management issues), while also contributing to resource conservation. There has been scant research investigating what is actually involved in the fashion remanufacturing process and how the process could be up-scaled to the mass market in order to achieve greater environmental gains. This book addresses that gap in the literature and examines all aspects pertaining to the concept and applications of Remanufactured Fashion.

This book reviews the manufacturing processes of different shopping  bags used for grocery purposes, life cycle impacts, modelling of life cycle impacts, carbon and eco-footprints in different countries, consumption of shopping bags in different countries, consumer behaviour of shopping bags in various countries and its relation to eco-impact, assessment of functionality of shopping  bags, concept and framework of eco-functional assessment of shopping bags, biodegradation of shopping bags, etc.

Exploring the intersection of biotechnology and sustainability, this book highlights the potential of bacterial cellulose in the textile and fashion industries. It shifts the focus from traditional biotechnological applications to addressing the growing demand for sustainable materials in fashion. By connecting the bioengineering properties of bacterial cellulose with contemporary sustainability challenges, it offers a unique perspective on how this innovative material can transform the industry.

This book offers insightful case studies on calculating and mitigating carbon footprints across various industries. It examines the carbon footprints of national power generation, crude glycerol production, and Brazil's highway network, emphasizing the integration of renewable energy for effective decarbonization strategies.

This volume focuses on Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for degrading toxic dyes and heavy metals in textile wastewater. It covers Fenton processes, plasma technology, and carbon tetrachloride's role in dye degradation. Additional topics include sonoenzymatic treatments, electroflocculation, photocatalysis, and enhancing anaerobic digestion.

This book explores advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for dye removal from wastewater, focusing on methods like ozone-based AOPs, UV irradiation, and catalytic AOPs. It discusses operational parameters and the role of nanoparticles, providing valuable insights for environmental engineers and chemists addressing wastewater pollution.

This book explores the water footprint concept across various industries, including leather tanning, steel, agriculture, textiles, and wine. It emphasizes the importance of assessing water use and pollution in supply chains, in line with ISO 14046, to address the growing scarcity of freshwater resources.

This book highlights the urgent need to combat microplastic pollution for a sustainable environment. It discusses the harmful effects of microplastics on oceans, aquatic life, and human health, detailing their sources and impacts. The book contains six informative chapters aimed at addressing these critical issues.

This book explores carbon footprint calculation and mitigation in manufacturing and transportation. It emphasizes the urgent need to address global warming through sector-wise assessment and remediation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The volume consists of six chapters focusing on these sectors.

This book highlights the significance of recycling for environmental sustainability, addressing its role in both postindustrial and post-consumer contexts. It emphasizes the need to assess and enhance the environmental benefits of recycled products, featuring five insightful chapters on their environmental footprints.
