Consumers are becoming conscious in regards to green and environmentally friendly consumer goods. They prefer products that have no harmful effect on the environment. The trend of green consumerism has been extended to textile and apparel products. Major European and U.S textile buyers have responded to this public awareness by viewing their textile products from an ecological standpoint and established certain requirements on textile products by undergoing certain predefined testing procedures.
