Fabric Recycling Technologies
Fabric recycling routes can be classified into open-loop recycling and closed-loop recycling, based on the end-product aimed. In open-loop recycling, properties of the recycled material are different from the original material and, therefore, the recycled material is used for a different product or purpose than the original. That means open-loop re...
Mechanical Recycling
Mechanical recycling method can be divided into two paths based on the recycling mechanism applied. First path is the melt-extrusion process where shredding, crushing, grinding of waste followed by melting, and re-extruding to obtain fibres for subsequently being re-spun into yarns or production of non-woven panels. Synthetic fabrics such as polyes...
Chemical Recycling
Chemical recycling can also be performed in two paths. First one is the depolymerisation and repolymerisation route in which the waste matter is depolymerised back into its monomer units. In the depolymerisation process, plastic polymers such as polyester can be depolymerised into monomers or oligomers and re-polymerised into new fibres or material...
Biochemical Recycling
Biochemical process of textile recycling is an environmentally friendly enzymic treatment that breaks down polymers into monomers. Enzymes are biocatalysts that increase the efficiency of chemical reactions (Piribauer and Bartl 2019). Biochemical recycling usually starts with an acid or alkali pre-treatment process which helps to breakdown the macr...
Thermal Recovery
Thermal recovery process refers to the combustion of wastes for energy production. As textile waste is composed of high amount of energy, that can be used as a raw material for energy generation (Pensupa et al. 2017). Combustion, pyrolysis gasification, and incineration are considered as main thermal recycling technologies. Combustion involves a se...
Descriptive Analysis of Fabric Waste Recycling
This section provides a descriptive analysis of 42 filtered articles that directly demonstrate fabric waste recycling methods and applications. In terms of geographical representation, it can be observed that research on fabric waste recycling is currently most frequent in Asia, followed by European countries. Out of 42 articles analysed, 19 articl...
Applications of Recycled Fabrics
This section focuses on categorising the applications of recycled textiles as identified through the literature.
What is fabric waste recycling?
Fabric waste recycling is one of the key aspects to consider in moving towards circular economy in textiles. The demand for fabric waste recycling is primarily driven by the resource recovery perspective and the detrimental environmental impact of disposal and landfilling.
What percentage of textile waste is recycled?
Europe recycles only 25% their textile waste and the rest is either landfilled or incinerated (Haslinger et al., 2019 ). In the USA, textile waste generation is 17 MT/year (EPA 2020 ); however, only around 15% of total waste is recycled (Shirvanimoghaddam et al. 2020 ).
How many tons of textiles are disposed in California landfills?
According to the 2014 Disposal-Facility-Based Characterization of Solid Waste report, more than 1.24 million tons of textiles were disposed in California landfills in 2014. Textiles are the sixth most prevalent material type in the overall disposed waste stream and comprise 4 percent of landfilled waste.
How can textile waste be diverted from landfill?
Textiles in landfill biodegrade to form methane gas which is released into the air and is not suitable for human consumption, is one of the most effects factor that recycling is addressing by diverting textile from landfill. A logical approach to diverting existing textile waste streams is the adoption of textile recycling technologies and systems.
