The necessity of energy transition in textile industry

The textile industry should play an important role in the development of the economy, but it is limited due to the negative impact on the environment, which can be solved by switching to sustainable and renewable energy sources (RES). A successful strategy for the production of textile products includes a set of environmental, economic and energy, technological and health factors. Clothing and home textiles are the basic products of the textile industry, but with new materials and technologies, the use is expanding in the field of agrotechnical nets, applications for building structures or military materials. Textile products are created in long technological processes in production halls so that natural resources and water are used for processing, into which harmful substances flow. Following these negative sides, the textile industry has to reform in the field of application of materials on inputs to sources of electricity supply. There is a technological and energy transition that can contribute to increasing production efficiency, work effectiveness and reducing electricity consumption, sustainable use of nearby energy resources such as RES. In this way, water pollution is directly reduced, and the forced use of resources that cannot be renewed or cleaned of pollution is indirectly reduced. The advantage is that the energy transition can save materials, the aesthetic appearance of textiles and products improves, and the economic savings are significant. Funds can be invested in the replacement of acceptable materials, which are recycled and do not pollute. RES such as solar energy and wind energy can be placed on the roofs of halls, and natural fibers can be washed, bleached or thermally treated with geothermal water and thus create sustainable materials in the textile industry.
