    Can you tell me what kind of search-engines have you used (if any) and what your end-goal (purpose) is?

    No need to follow anyone, only consider broadening (y)our horizon of possibilities ...

    Here's a video I watched several years ago, I think it still holds up. It's about Monsanto and their awful practices in the food industry. It's just under 2 hours long:

    'The World According to Monsanto' is a 2008 film directed by Marie-Monique Robin. Originally released in French as Le monde selon Monsanto, the film is based on Robin's three-year long investigation into the corporate practices around the world of the multinational corporation, Monsanto.

    The film reports many controversies surrounding the use and promotion of genetically modified seeds, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Agent Orange, and bovine growth hormone. Cases in the United States (including Anniston, Alabama), Canada, India, Mexico, Paraguay, the United Kingdom (Scotland) and France, are explored, claiming that the corporation's collusion with governments, pressure tactics, suppression and manipulation of scientific data, and extra-legal practices aided the company's attempts at dominating global agriculture.



    ------------

    This next documentary isn't specifically about the textile industry, but it is part of the documentary so you may find it interesting. Here's a trailer for it:

    (2:32 in length)


    You can buy the documentary online, however I imagine you could find a torrent (free downloadable copy) as well.
    Today is victory over yourself of yesterday. Tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.

    Decades ago I got a chemical dictionary.

    At the time it would take me anything up to two hours to do what would otherwise have been a twenty minute supermarket shop. I'd be pushing my trolley around the aisles, reading many ingredients labels and consulting the dictionary to find out what was actually being put in our food and drink.

    It was a horror show. And it's only ever got worse since. A lot worse.

    At the time my general conclusion was "Kinell. We're being poisoned!"

    I discussed my findings with a number of family members and friends. For the most part they thought I was nuts and didn't want to know.

    That was a weird time.

    It's only ever got a lot weirder since then.

    It's fair to say that, as a collective, humanity wasn't too bright back then and has yet to show any discernible improvement.

    Still, there's always the last ingredient at the bottom of Pandora's box to bear in mind.

    I am using for some time an app which by scanning the product's bar-code, provide a product rating and all it's ingredients including elaborate info on questionable and hazardous ingredients:

    Hello doubleboy...

    Your request is fairly vague... What kind of information are you looking for on those topics? Vendors? The way they run? The negative side of such things? I think if you are a bit more specific, it would help others, or you could be facing millions to billions of useless documents, statements, articles, videos and books...
