Sustainable Fibres for Fashion and Textile Manufacturing presents
the latest technical information about innovative natural and
synthetic materials, helping the reader to understand sustainable
fibres and raw materials for fashion and textile manufacturing.
With a particular focus on apparel manufacturing, different
applications of sustainable fibres are explored along with
manufacturing techniques and details of the material properties.
New research investigating nontraditional sources of textile fibres
such as lotus, orange, milk, seaweed, corn, and mushroom are all
presented, providing a uniquely comprehensive resource. Drawing on
work by contributors from a variety of fields and roles in industry
and academia, this book shares solutions and new perspectives on

Manikins for Textile Evaluation is a key resource for all those
engaged in textile and apparel development and production, and for
academics engaged in research into textile science and technology.
Creating garments that work with the human form, both stationary
and in motion, is a complex task that requires extensive testing
and evaluation. Manikins allow for performance testing of textiles
in a safe, controlled, and appropriate environment, and are a key
element in developing new textile products. Everyday apparel needs
to be assessed for comfort, sizing and fit, and ergonomics, while
technical and protective garments require extensive safety and
performance testing. Manikins therefore range from simple
representations of the human body to complex designs that simulate
body temperature, sweating, and motion. Manikins are safe for use
in hazardous testing environments, such as fire and flame
protection, where wearer trials would be impossible. This book
provides extensive coverage of manikin-based evaluation of
protective, heat and flame resistant, medical, and automotive
textile applications. The role of manikins in the development of
day-to-day garments is also discussed, including fit, comfort, and
ergonomics. The book is a key resource for all those engaged in
textile and apparel development and production, and for academics
engaged in research into textile science and technology.
This book examines the extent to which social media marketing
influences the customer-based brand equity of higher education
institutes. Higher education institutions operate in a strong
competitive environment due to the homogenous nature of their
services and always look for new marketing strategies to be
competitive in the marketplace. Therefore, building customer-based
brand equity has become crucial for higher education institutions
to differentiate themselves from others to attract prospective
students. Social media-based marketing facilitated prospective
students to communicate and collaborate to gather information
relevant to higher education institutions and their respective
brand equity. However, many models on customer-based brand equity
received limited support in the higher education sector,
particularly in emerging Asian countries. As such, drawing from
social information processing theory, this book empirically
investigates how higher education institutions can develop
customer-based brand equity by using social media marketing and
subjective norms mediated by brand credibility, taking
cross-country comparisons between Sri Lanka and Vietnam. The book
goes on to examine the applications and implications of the
findings for higher education institutions in developing branding
strategies through social media.
This book highlights the concepts of lean manufacturing that help
to achieve the objectives of sustainability in a global competitive
atmosphere. Lean can help to lower the manufacturing cost in the
rising labour and material cost market. Lean is based on various
fundamental concepts such as Kaizen, Kanban, Zidoka, 5S and Six
Sigma, which aim at reducing process waste for efficiency and
productivity that are discussed in this book. In addition, the
technological changes such as introduction of Internet technologies
and Industry 4.0 are taken care by the lean concepts, which are
also addressed in this book.
Waste Management in the Textiles Industry explores and explains the

industry.
Sustainable Technologies for Fashion and Textiles combines the
latest academic research and industrial practices to shed light on
a wide range of activities that influence how the textiles industry
affects the natural environment. Pressure from regulators,
customers and other stakeholders has pressed companies to translate
general sustainability concepts and ideas into business practices.
This is leading to improvements in how the industry consumes water,
electricity and chemicals, and to a reduction in the amount of
waste generated by textile processes. This book groups approaches
to these topics under four themes, fiber, yarn and fabric
production, chemical processing, garment manufacturing and
recycling.
