Textiles Technology-2050. Circular Textiles.

India today is at the forefront of Textiles, however, the country has been lagging behind and also almost all fashion brands across the globe, in spite of its potential.
Fashion in 100 years from now might be entirely different, as factors such as COVID-19 may yet further influence society in ways we previously couldn’t have imagined. 
Masks being the new norm is something that no one would have been able to guess becoming a staple of peoples’ wardrobes worldwide.
Today our weavers are committing suicides, many are giving up weaving as means of livelihood. Our community has not able to help our weavers for the simple reason we not able to solve their problems, just as today majority of us are not weavers. By 2050 we would transform ourselves.  Unfortunately would no longer be a weaver community because we could not be able to update our clothing any time and any day? Most of us will live close to the printing house or have a 3D printer at home.  Additionally, there will be a range of fabrications. It will be easy for us to change our floor-length skirt to mid-length with the adaptability of 3D hardware.
It is a human tendency to get attracted to what other person is wearing and wishing you had the same outfit. When we fantasize about the future, we are rigid when it is about the attitude towards clothing. 
The average person has been estimated to throw away around 32 kgs of clothes every year, which is leading to a mountain of clothing and has a huge impact on the environment, so can we turn our unwanted garments into something useful?
About 60 percent of the clothing we wear contains plastic microfibers. The best-known are polyester, nylon, and acrylic. Unfortunately, these fibers don't stay in our clothing. While some of them leach out as we go about our business, taking to the air and so on, doing laundry may be a significant contributor to the 8 million tons of microplastics dumped into our oceans annually.
Such issues will change the present Indian textiles, by reducing the environmental impacts of the fashion industry.
What is Circular Textiles?
The Circular Textiles is an economic model that shows the flow of money through the economy. The most common form of this model shows the circular flow of income between the household sector and the business sector. Between the two are the product market and the resource market.
Households purchase goods and services, which businesses provide through the product market. 
Businesses meanwhile, need resources in order to produce goods and services. 
Members of households provide labor to businesses through the resource market. In turn, businesses convert those resources into goods and services.
This means designing clothes that last longer, re-use of discarded clothes and recycling of the textile fibers. 
Which means designing clothes that last longer is not a popular development. 
The development of a circular textiles industry expects to have a positive impact on employment opportunities.
In addition to ongoing efforts to find new ways of incorporating used materials in new clothing, textile-industry scientists are experimenting with a range of less environmentally damaging, more sustainable materials for us to wear.
Technology in textiles is not a new phenomenal but in 2050s the following features would be common in your daily fabrics:
1.Clothes that change color.
2.Jeans that communicate.
3.Clothes that charge your devices.
4.Jackets with body temperature controls
5.Styles that shift in shape. 
Antimicrobial silver nanoparticles that prevent smelly bacteria and therefore be mandatory to embedded in fabrics to reduce the number of washes and researchers are working on water-repelling fabrics, and nanoparticles can also make clothing less flammable.
We can only imagine what fashion trends will be going on and what our clothing will look like. We know for a fact that technology will play a role in clothing but we won’t fully be able to depict how society will be until we get there with time. Trends will constantly be changing, technology will be growing, effects of the current pandemic may be here to stay but overall, we can guarantee the fashion industry will be making an unique, bold, tech-based impact with clothing.

He invented the game in 1891 while working at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. Naismith was tasked with creating a new indoor game to keep his students physically active during the winter months. He developed the basic rules of basketball and used a soccer ball and two peach baskets as goals. The first official game of basketball was played on December 21, 1891, and it quickly gained popularity, eventually evolving into the global sport we know today. Basketball, a dynamic and fast-paced sport, was introduced to India in the early 20th century, and its journey in the country reflects a blend of cultural adaptation, steady progress, and growing popularity.
