Textiles Industry & Economy - Standards & Benchmarks Chemical residue issue haunts fabric exporters G. Gurumurthy
Coimbatore , Aug.9 OF late, the cotton fabric producers in the country are being pressured by the overseas buying firms to ensure that their fabrics are free from chemical residues, including the presence of pesticides. The growing incidents of such demands have created concern among major powerloom fabric exporters who have drawn the attention of the Union Textile Ministry in this regard, powerloom industry sources said. The powerloom fabric exporters, in a communication to the Textile Ministry, have stated that they have been posted with intimations from the buyers asking the fabric suppliers to ensure that the loom-state fabrics supplied do not contain chemical substances including pesticides to meet the ecological requirements. The powerloom fabric exporters have stated that it would be difficult for the manufacturers or the suppliers to monitor whether the fabrics supplied contains chemical substances/residues or not because the chemicals are being used right from the production of raw cotton in the form of pesticides or at several stages of textile processing.
