Abstract
The textile manufacturing process is one of the leading causes of water pollution in the world today, and most consumers are unaware of the adverse effects of textile dye processes on water consumption and pollution. Educating consumers on the current state of water usage within the industry, and the newfound developments within the cotton dyeing process, will fast-track the integration of new cotton dyeing processes into everyday textile production.Through research, the analysis of 70 consumer comments, and surveys, results from this study shows that consumers are willing to learn more about sustainability in the fashion industry and make purchase decision based off of their new knowledge.
