Abstract
Currently, sustainable technologies have gained much greater attention in every production sector due to their special features: eco-friendly approach and economic feasibility. Textile sectors are no exception to these features. That is why environment-friendly technology - more specifically termed sustainable technology - has become a promising candidate for textile production. Conventional technologies for textile production have been prevalent in the world since ancient times and they have the same principle in every part of textile production, such as in spinning, weaving, knitting, braiding, sewing, dyeing and some other techniques relevant to textile manufacturing. To fulfil the demand of increased population, man has concentrated on modern technologies apart from sustainable technologies. Each segment of these modern approaches has been posing greater threats to the environment day by day. This chapter incorporates the recent developments of sustainable textile technologies along with digging into the sustainability in the textile sector in developing countries.
