Increasing textile and clothing consumption resulted not only exhaustion of natural resources and virgin raw materials but also assimilation of textile material disposal from pre-consumer waste (i.e. various textile and clothing manufacturing activities) and post-consumer waste. Many environmental problems have been created by this pre-consumer and post-consumer waste generation. Adequate amount of measures has been taken by the government and standard organization to minimise the impact on environment by the textile manufacturing activities. Now a days, textile industries are striving to achieve zero waste generation by adopting various international standards and methods. But for the post-consumer waste generation issue, it is necessary for each and every consumer needs to understand and contribute for sustainable waste disposal. Hence, it is essential for everyone to know the existing sustainable concepts available to create sustainable environment. The main objective of the study is to examine the factors influencing textile and clothing disposal behaviour. The theory of disposal behaviour is related to consumer knowledge about textile product, environmental concern and waste management technique, namely Textile reuse and Textile recycle. Primary data was collected from 150 respondents through online questionnaires for this study. Statistical analysis such as correlation and regression were used with SPSS statistics. The research suggests that Apparel and Home textile product manufacturer should focus on creating consumer awareness on the possibility of reuse and recycle of the specific products along with the care label in order to achieve sustainable environment.
