Concept, purpose
Textile industry is a group of light industries engaged in the processing of vegetable (cotton, flax, hemp, kenough, jute, ramie), animals (wool, silk of silk cocoons), artificial and synthetic fibers into yarn, threads, fabrics.

Concept, purpose
The textile industry is primarily concerned with the design, production and distribution of textiles: yarn, cloth and clothing. The raw material may be natural, or synthetic using products of the chemical industry

Ecological problems
The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution. The main problems include water and air pollution, greenhouse gases, and chemical discharge. Therefore, novel fabrics and advanced manufacturing technologies are major textile industry trends. Mass digitalization in textiles utilizes advanced tools that revolve around IoT, AI, data analytics, and 3D technologies. These technologies not only improve manufacturing performance but also comply with sustainability standards.

History
According to modern archaeological data, the origins of textile technology can be found in the most remote periods of the primitive commonwealth
Until the beginning of the 18th century, a rather labor-intensive textile industry developed mainly by artisanal methods in workshops and at home. For a long time, the leaders in the production of natural fabrics and products from them were densely populated regions of the countries of the East (Persia, China, Egypt).
A significant contribution that influenced the development of the textile industry was the discovery of the Russian chemist N. N. Zinin, who in 1842 first restored nitrobenzene to aniline - from that moment on, aniline could be obtained on an industrial scale, as well as the discoveries of a number of synthetic dyes by chemists in the 19th century.
Since the end of the XIX century, artificial (based on natural polymers) and synthetic (from hydrocarbon raw materials) fibers have become increasingly common

Immersive Fashion

The term finishing includes all the mechanical and chemical processes employed commercially to improve the acceptability of the product, except those procedures directly concerned with colouring. The objective of the various finishing processes is to make fabric from the loom or knitting frame more acceptable to the consumer. Finishing processes include preparatory treatments used before additional treatment, such as bleaching prior to dyeing; treatments, such as glazing, to enhance appearance; sizing, affecting touch; and treatments adding properties to enhance performance, such as preshrinking.
Textile finishing processes Basic methods and processes

Textile finishing processes Basic methods and processes
Newly formed cloth is generally dirty, harsh, and unattractive, requiring considerable skill for conversion into a desirable product. Before treatment, the unfinished fabrics are referred to as gray goods, or sometimes, in the case of silks, as greige goods. Finishing formerly involved a limited number of comparatively simple operations evolved over the years from hand methods. The skill of English and Scottish finishers was widely recognized, and much British cloth owed its high reputation to the expertise of the finisher. More sophisticated modern finishing methods have been achieved through intense and imaginative research.

The following standards amongst others apply to textiles: -CPSIA, e.g. Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles[35] -ASTM Textile Standards[36] -REACH Regulations for Textiles[37] -China Product Standard for Textiles[38] -In the European Union, the Textile Regulation (Regulation 1007/2011 on textile fibre names and related labelling and marking of fibre composition of textile products) applies. This replaced earlier Directives 73/44/EC, 96/73/EC and 2008/121/EC, which had required transposition into national law, with effect from 8 May 2012.
Regulatory standards
For textiles, like for many other products, there are certain national and international standards and regulations that need to be complied with to ensure quality, safety and sustainability.

Both industrialized and developing countries now have modern installations capable of highly efficient fabric production. In addition to mechanical improvements in yarn and fabric manufacture, there have been rapid advances in development of new fibres, processes to improve textile characteristics, and testing methods allowing greater quality control.
