ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS OF SELECTED ENERGY CONSERVING MANUFACTURING PROCESS OPTIONS: VOLUME IX. TEXTILE INDUSTRY REPORT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-76/034i.
Description:
This study assesses the likelihood of new process technology and new practices being introduced by energy intensive industries and explores the environmental impacts of such changes. Volume 9 deals with the textile industry and examines the environmental energy and economic impacts of three model technologies: (1) integrated knit fabric mill using advanced processing of 100% polyester fiber, (2) integrated knit fabric mill using solvent processing of 100% polyester fiber, and (3) integrated woven fabric mill using advanced processing of 50/50 polyester cotton fiber mixture, all in comparison with a base line technology representing the best of present textile industry practice.
