Abstract : Any kind of production is directly related to consumption of natural resources and generating waste. From the beginning of civilization human being started consuming natural resources including forest, water, land and animal. But the world was sparsely populated then which, has become 7.9 billion today and estimated to be 11.2 billion by the end of this century, according to United Nation report. Mankind is still using resources from environment with little restrain and few concerns which leads to environmental crisis including biodiversity loss, scarcity of fresh drinking water, depletion of fossil fuel, deforestation, air pollution, climate change etc. These environmental issues emerge from increasing rate of global production and over consumption and associates with high volume of waste generation. Textile industry is one of the biggest industries in the world and also considered as one of the most pollutant industries in the global environmental scenario. This paper explains the limitation of textile production in the past and the impact of Industrialization on textile industry which made it one of the biggest and earliest established industries and gradually became the top of the polluting industry too.
