An Overview on the Fate of Fast Fashion and Nanoparticle Treated Textiles

This paper reviews studies of nanoparticles treated textiles in term of its disposal fate, to provide an overview of current knowledge and potential points for further research. The reviewed literature provide strong evidence that nanoparticles are essential for their promising uses in textiles, and information is available for the manufacturing of nanoparticles and their incorporation to textiles. Major concern is the missing knowledge to fill in the gaps for the primary inventory data and their potential future research needs.
