1 Introduction
Textile sector is playing one of the crucial roles in order to implicit world’s economy.
The nations such as China, India, Italy and German, etc. shares between 10 and 40%
of total global textile exports. Among them, India distinguishes itself by the handspun and hand-woven textiles and other spectrum is at capital intensive sophisticated
mills. While decentralizing power looms/hosiery and knitting sector, the ancient
culture and traditions of every nation can be integrated. However, a country’s unique
product must be suitable for a wide variety of different market segments across the
world [1].
The textile industry has spotted a spurt in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for
the process, particularly in dyeing and printing. The Directorate General of Foreign
Trade (DGFT), an automatic route that ensures a number of export promotion policies
like incentive rate under the Scheme for the textile sector. Likely, the Amended
Technology Up-gradation Fund Scheme (A-TUFS) has emerged in many countries
in order to promote textile business and achieve the vision of creating employment
and promoting exports through “Make in” with “Zero effect and Zero defect” in
manufacturing. A-TUFS is the deciding authority that links the Capital Investment
Subsidy (CIS) by 2022. The production of wool specifically is aided by the Integrated
Wool Development Programme (IWDP) and which aims to enhance the quality [2].
New skills or innovations are encouraged by the Scheme for Capacity Building in
Textile Sector (SCBTS) primarily formed by the Cabinet Committee on Economic
Affairs (CCEA). To expand the business, textile parks with a new block-level clusters
can be developed through I-ATUFS. It is a web-based claim monitoring and tracking mechanism that buoyed up strong domestic consumption and export demand.
However, a fine line between expendable retail sector and consumerism appear to be
economically declined due to the entry of international players. Lower disposable
income has raised and blatantly affects a huge domestic market.
Solid wastes from textile factories are perturbed with the following disposal techniques of textile goods such as incineration, decomposition, and accumulation. Some
of them pose serious threats to ecosystem which is very difficult to screen. Apparel
companies are in the demand to secure a certificate permitting that their products have
set the international environmental standards and impact-free for both end products
and disposable waste. Hence, apparel manufacturers adopt recycling technologies
for disposable waste or processed materials to uplift credibility of the goods and
services.
Relatively, apparel recycling is a method of reprocessing of pre-owned fabrics,
cuts down the cost of sending solid textile waste to landfill; conserves resources; creates awareness among public for participation; adapts to economic market. Textile
recycling is hitherto in practice in countries like United Kingdom, Germany, United
States and Australia except for China and India. It is to note that Malaysian textile
industries cause water pollution apparently. The recycled textile products from Germany and the United Kingdom are surprisingly popular, sustainable and cheered by
