Control of Fibre Fragments In Wastewater

The objective of this Basic level training is to understand fibre fragmentation during textile manufacturing, and the different methods of mitigating the problem.

This course consists of 4 modules:

Module 1: introduction to The Microfibre Consortium

Module 2: introduction to the fibre fragments in wastewater

Module 3: process & guidance of direct discharge effluent treatment

Module 4: sampling and testing possibilities

This specialised training course on fibre fragmentation offers numerous benefits to the textile industry manufacturers:

1. Expert Guidance: Developed with insights from industry experts, this training ensures you receive the latest in fibre fragmentation knowledge directly from those deeply immersed in the topic.
2. Real-Life Solutions: The training bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. By focusing on converting understanding into real-life solutions and effective strategies that manufacturers can implement to tackle fibre fragmentation in their facilities.
3. Science-led: Acquire knowledge rooted in scientific evidence, enabling informed decision-making to implement positive changes in your manufacturing processes.
4. Competitive Edge: Equipping your team with expertise in fibre fragmentation provides a significant edge in the competitive textile industry landscape. Manufacturers who can effectively manage and optimize their processes are better positioned to meet market demands and deliver high-quality products.

Target audience: The course is particularly designed for textile, apparel and footwear suppliers with wet processing facilities that incorporate direct discharge, indirect discharge and on-site Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) treatment plants. These include, but are not limited to: dyeing and finishing of fibres, yarns, threads, fabrics, garments, trims and laces; fabric mills; laundry, washing and finishing facilities; printing facilities; vertical finished goods manufacturing facilities where any of the above wet processes occur; facilities that process synthetic materials (synthetic fibres or textile-polymer composite microfibres), coated with PU, PVC or similar that hold the appearance of leather but is not made from animal skin or hide (mock leather).

Course price: 20 Euro

Welcome to the course Control of fibre fragments in wastewater. This course is offered by The Microfibre Consortium in collaboration with ZDHC Academy.

Microfibres, tiny fibre fragments which are lost during the textile lifecycle, have been identified as an environmental threat. This training has been designed to help companies better control fibre fragments in wastewater during the production of textiles, apparel and footwear to prevent release to the environment. The course identifies approaches and best practices that can be taken throughout the supply chain, to best support positive change within manufacturing.
