Abstract

This paper aims to review sustainable practices that can be implemented by textile industries, based on the extant literature with a special focus on R-principles which are considered to be important drivers towards achieving sustainable development goals. To achieve this objective, an integrative review has been done for 104 articles using scientific databases like Scopus and Science Direct. These articles were reviewed while dividing them into structural dimensions, which are basically the six set of R's (refuse and replace, rethink and redesign, reduce, reuse, remanufacturing, recycle). The review suggests that the extant literature consists of sustainable studies majorly focused on developed countries, and the ones in textile industry of developing nations were majorly from China. The findings of this study thus, provides an in-depth understanding on sustainability, different approaches of sustainability, categorisation of R-principles, and an understanding on sustainable practices prevalent or can be extended in textile industry for various developing nations. Lastly, this review illuminates few gaps and future research areas.
