Book Chapter Description

The textile industry is currently facing a significant challenge within the global shift towards the adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable products. This transition is driven by increasing environmental awareness, changing consumer preferences, and a growing recognition of the industry's impact on the planet. As consumers demand greater transparency in supply chains and environmentally responsible practices, textile manufacturers are under pressure to reevaluate their traditional methods and hold more sustainable alternatives. This challenge involves various aspects of the textile industry, including raw material sourcing, manufacturing processes, and end-of-life product disposal. Scientists are exploring recycling initiatives, encouraging product durability, and implementing responsible disposal practices to minimize the environmental impact of textile products throughout their lifecycle. Nonwoven products are directly concerned, primarily due to the challenge posed by the non-recyclable binders commonly used in their production. These non-recyclable binders contribute to environmental concerns as they may end up in landfills, adding to the overall waste generated by the textile industry. This creates a pressing need for innovation within the nonwoven sector to develop alternative binding materials that are not only effective but also environmentally friendly. In this context, we tried to suggest some new eco-friendly binders formed by crosslinked biopolymers to insure this application. Therefore, we proposed two biopolymers soluble in water for an easy implementation in the nonwoven fabric. Then, a crosslinking process was applied in order to enhance the stability and durability of the nonwoven material. This process is crucial for improving the physical properties of nonwoven fabrics, such as resistance to water.
