Enzyme: A Bio Catalyst for Cleaning up Textile and Apparel Sector

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Detox Fashion

Part of the book series: Textile Science and Clothing Technology ((TSCT))

Abstract

The textile and apparel sector provides employment to huge population across the world and plays a major role in global economy. Although, various toxic chemicals start from fiber cultivation/production to apparel production are used in it. Therefore, there is dire need to replace these toxic chemicals with appropriate eco-friendly sustainable alternatives. Enzymes have great potential to detoxify the whole supply chain by replacing various harmful chemicals being used in textile and apparel sector especially in wet processing. Enzymes are biocatalyst and life cannot be thought of without them. Infact, enzymes are precious gift of nature for sustainability. Detox fashion cannot be thought of without considering the enzymes as they not only substitute various toxic chemicals but themselves are biodegradable, sustainable and work at low energy. Amylase, pectinase, lipase, catalase, cellulase, hemicellulase, protease, laccase, sericinase, etc are extensively used enzymes in textile and apparel wet processing. The foregoing chapter discusses detox fashion via applications of these enzymes in sustainable wet processing of cotton, regenerated cellulosic, bast, wool, silk, etc textile materials. Enzyme also has great potential in production and modification of manmade fiber along with waste water treatment, decolorisation, soil remediation and detoxification. Further the impact of biotechnological advancements in enzymatic application in textiles has been discussed.
