12. Will the course require any visiting faculty? (yes/no) No

13. Course objectives (about 50 words):

The increasing focus on the well-being of our planet has reinforced our concerns about
Detrimental effects of many products as well as creating new expectations with regard to
what goes into the making of those products. Green processing techniques have assumed real
significance in today’s world. This course would aim to explore the knitty gritty of
 green technologies – which go to create textile products without deleterious effects on
the environment, in their making, their use or their disposal.

14. Course contents (about 100 words) (Include laboratory/design activities):

The course would highlight the processing technologies for organic fibers and eco-friendly
lignocellulosic natural fibers. The further focus would be on new dyeing and finishing
technologies which require fewer chemicals and consume less energy and water while also
releasing cleaner effluent. Process technologies highlighted would include new enzymes and
ozone technologies that replace harsh chemicals in fabric finishing, very low-moisture foam
dyeing technologies, waste and solvent-eliminating digital printing technologies, low-salt
reactive dyes, bleaching processes that reduce water and energy use, and technologies that
combine dyeing and finishing in one step, among other technologies. Cleaner Effluent
technologies would be discussed. Biocomposites and their manufacturing techniques would be
detailed out. Effective recycling techniques would be discussed at length and the laws related to
environmental protection would be explained specially with reference to textile industry
