Abstract:
Textiles are one of the largest growing waste streams in the world and are expected to continue to grow due to more frequent consumption and greater demand from fast fashion, along with this come high consumption of chemicals, energy, and water, which generate significant environmental impacts globally. 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.
