          Description

          The concept of hydrophobic coating for textiles has been successfully floated and utilized by several organizations across the world. Nano particles are incorporated into textile fabric or sprayed on its surface to create a coating which repels water and stain producing liquids. The main focus has been to repel water, dirt and grime off textile fabrics and clothing.  However, the technology has been viewed as a short term solution for industrial applications and luxury clothing.

          Additionally, nearly 73 percent of clothing is estimated to end up in landfills which could have instead been reused or up-cycled. Clothing waste is a problem which can no longer be ignored, as most fabrics pose grave threats to human health and the environment at large.

          We propose a feasibility study for a business model which amalgamates the usage of hydrophobic ‘NanoTexto’ technology coating for mass production using recycled textiles, clothes and fabrics. The focus is to develop a low-cost and sustainable model that will enable it’s usage by the common labor force, thereby reducing the need for multiple rewashing cycles and conserving water. The target group could include kitchen and factory workers, construction workmen, hospital staff and many more. This would facilitate in the perception of nanotechnology as a tool to conserve water and promote sustainable usage of textile waste around the world.
