| Abstract |
The fashion industry stands as a significant contributor to environmental degradation due to its massive production volumes and subsequent waste generation. In response to this pressing concern, this review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, aiming to comprehensively address the environmental challenges inherent in the fashion sector. Focusing on the integration of green chemistry principles and engineering innovations within bio fashion, the study endeavors to explore viable solutions that mitigate the industry's detrimental environmental impact. Central to this exploration is the pursuit of material sustainability and the creation of eco-friendly, biodegradable clothing alternatives that not only diminish environmental harm but also satisfy aesthetic and functional requisites. By delving into various facets, including biomaterial development, environmentally conscious production processes, biodegradable fashion products, customization, consumer awareness, industry collaboration, and standards, this review elucidates crucial pathways for innovation, pivotal for propelling sustainable practices in the fashion realm. This comprehensive analysis incorporates a rigorous examination highlighting the vast potential of innovation to reshape the fashion landscape, steering it towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future. |
