Introduction
● The Indian textile industry records impressive growths with CAGR well above 15%
● At this rate, the exports are also projected to reach $100 billion by end of 2030
● To achieve this, top textile mills and spinning can industries are regularly upgrading their operations and technologies.
● However, there are still certain challenges and drawbacks which textile industries face even today.
1. Excess waste production
● 5% of the total volume of landfills worldwide are textile wastes.
● Textile industries are the second largest pollution-generator after oil industry.
● Wide range of ionic chemicals, acids, industrial enzymes, and alkaline solutions are used in the day-to-day operations of the textile industry.
● Learning how to manage waste in Spinning mills and using protective gears is absolutely essential.
2. Paucity of Quality Raw Materials
● India contributes to more than 25% of the total cotton production in the world, but the annual production is only around 8% of the global value.
● This leads to dependence on countries like Kenya, Egypt, USA, etc for cotton imports.
● Rise in pollution levels in various countries across the globe, along with unavailability of resources has led to an increase in the price of raw materials.
● The unavailability of adequate, quality raw materials is forcing many manufacturers to miss out new orders, or fail to deliver existing ones.
3. Overdependence on Manual Labour
● The textile industry has always been very labour intensive in nature.
● The overdependence on manual labour is causing mistakes, oversights and random negligence.
● As a majorly unorganised sector, the industry faces several infrastructural bottlenecks as well.
● The top spinning mills and sliver can manufacturers in India, like Jumac, are, however, realizing this and helping their clients eliminate such risks.
● Jumac has launched their all new IIOT-enabled Sliver Cans, JI+ cans, ensuring efficient sliver handling across mill floors and eliminating manual errors.
4. Noise Pollution and Health Concerns
● Daily operations and use of heavy machineries generate high amounts of unwanted sounds.
● It is a serious problem for everyone who world in the mills, especially when the volume rises above 100db
● In a bid to maximize the productivity levels, the environmental impacts and concerns are often neglected.
● Toxic wastes generated by the industries have irreversible damage to the environment.
