The wet processing of regenerated cellulosic fabrics involves a complex interplay of chemical treatments, process control parameters, utility consumption, and associated costs. This review provides a comparative study of different regenerated cellulosic fabrics – such as viscose, lyocell, modal and Bamboo by evaluating the chemical recipes used, process control parameters employed, utility consumption patterns, and the cost per kg of fabric during the wet processing phase. The review aims to offer insights into the optimization of wet processing operations, contributing to reduced resource consumption, cost efficiency, and sustainability in the textile industry.
