Every industry has an impact on our environment and the textile industry is forced to take the path of sustainability due to the high impact on environment, Sustainable home textiles, are materials which can be used, which do not harm the environment. Every input and output matters to create the final product, nothing is to be wasted and it has to be used within the industry for other products. The materials used, processes involved, quality of life led by labourers and the afterlife of the product are to be considered when we think about sustainability.
