Abstract

The textile industry faces growing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to environmental concerns and resource limitations. In response, researchers and industries are exploring innovative solutions, one of which involves integrating algae into textile production processes. Algae, a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms, offer a plethora of benefits including rapid growth rates, minimal land and water requirements, and the ability to sequester carbon dioxide. This abstract highlights the potential of algae as a renewable resource for textile fibers, dyes, and finishes, thus contributing to the development of eco-friendly and biodegradable textiles. Furthermore, the utilization of algae in textiles has the potential to mitigate pollution by reducing reliance on synthetic materials and harmful chemical dyes. This paper provides an overview of the current research and applications of algae in textile production, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges associated with this emerging field. Additionally, it discusses the environmental and economic implications of adopting algae-based textiles and outlines future directions for research and industrial implementation. Overall, integrating algae into textile manufacturing processes presents a promising avenue for achieving sustainability in the textile industry while fostering innovation and environmental stewardship.
