“…Processing of cotton waste fibres for the reinforcement is of huge environmental and economic benefits. For building applications, the processing of cotton fibres to form fibre-reinforced composites has been reported by Reference [ 66 ]. Reference [ 67 ] combined cotton wastes and limestone powder wastes for the production of low-cost, lightweight composite for building applications.…”

The exponential increase in textile cotton wastes generation and the ineffective processing mechanism to mitigate its environmental impact by developing functional materials with unique properties for geotechnical applications, wastewater, packaging, and biomedical engineering have become emerging global concerns among researchers. A comprehensive study of a processed cotton fibres isolation technique and their applications are highlighted in this review. Surface modification of cotton wastes fibre increases the adsorption of dyes and heavy metals removal from wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have demonstrated high adsorption capacity for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have found remarkable application in slope amendments, reinforcement of expansive soils and building materials, and a proven source for isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Several research work on the use of cotton waste for functional application rather than disposal has been done. However, no review study has discussed the potentials of cotton wastes from source (Micro-Nano) to application. This review critically analyses novel isolation techniques of CNC from cotton wastes with an in-depth study of a parameter variation effect on their yield. Different pretreatment techniques and efficiency were discussed. From the analysis, chemical pretreatment is considered the most efficient extraction of CNCs from cotton wastes. The pretreatment strategies can suffer variation in process conditions, resulting in distortion in the extracted cellulose’s crystallinity. Acid hydrolysis using sulfuric acid is the most used extraction process for cotton wastes-based CNC. A combined pretreatment process, such as sonication and hydrolysis, increases the crystallinity of cotton-based CNCs. The improvement of the reinforced matrix interface of textile fibres is required for improved packaging and biomedical applications for the sustainability of cotton-based CNCs.

“…Always by involving the polypropylene, as matrix, but in the form of fibrillated textile waste, Echeverria et al [ 61 ] investigated assorted end-of-life textiles, as a low-carbon alternative feedstock, for realizing FRCs useful in the building applications. They promoted a cost-effective multi-stage cascading process in which additives, pretreatment, and coating were avoided for reducing the applied chemicals and the environmental impact: the post-consumer textile waste was recovered through recycling, reformed into reusable material, and transformed at the end of their life when it reached the maximum limit for the recycling.…”

This work aimed to review the recent scientific research, focused on the application of recycled fibers, taken from textile waste, in the field of composite materials to fulfill the eco-sustainability requirements of textile manufacturing, and promote actions for a circular economy. The yarns and fabric production represent one of the most polluting processes of the industrial world. The harmful environmental impact of the textile process has been described by reporting the different treatments involving the raw material and the filament fabrication, and concerning the uses of insecticides, fertilizers, and many other chemicals for improving the quality of the final products. In addition, solid textile waste constituted a further additional issue for the environmental sustainability of fabric production. Various strategies have been discussed and in part already adopted by many companies to recover waste fibers and prevent them from ending up in landfills. The alternatives of fiber recycling for composite realization have been presented by reporting several recent studies involving the uses of recycled fibers from the textile waste embedded in different matrices: thermoplastic polymer, thermosetting resins, natural constituents, and concrete in light of specific applications.

“…A indústria têxtil é o segundo setor mais poluente do mundo, respondendo por 10% do total das emissões mundiais de carbono (Echeverria, Handoko, Pahlevani, & Sahajwalla, 2019). Além disso, os estudos recentemente mostraram que a reutilização e reciclagem de têxteis em geral pode reduzir o impacto ambiental em comparação com a incineração e aterro (Sandin & Peters, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Yousef et al, 2019).…”

Os produtos têxteis são indispensáveis no cotidiano, estando presentes em diversos formatos e características. No entanto, a indústria têxtil é o segundo maior poluente do mundo devido as poucas técnicas de reutilização e reciclagem que acarretam grandes impactos ambientais. Dados mostram que a reciclagem dos resíduos têxteis não chega a 25% do que é gerado, assim, produzindo cerca de 1,2 bilhões de toneladas de emissões de gases de efeito estufa por ano. A reciclagem dos resíduos têxteis é considerada de grande necessidade e viabilidade na concretização do conceito de economia circular, porém é desafiadora, especialmente porque estes resíduos geralmente são misturados com outras fibras. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho apresenta o conceito de economia circular relacionado a indústria têxtil e as formas de reciclagem de tecidos, visando a redução dos impactos ambientais. A economia circular, apresenta um modelo capaz de desvincular o crescimento econômico da geração de resíduos, transformando-os em novos produtos e materiais com a máxima eficiência objetivando chegar a um modelo econômico com desperdício zero, imprescindível para alcançar um crescimento sustentável. A transição para uma economia circular deve começar com a prevenção de resíduos e a minimização dos resíduos depositados em aterro e finalmente a implantação de processos de reciclagem. Os diferentes processos de reciclagens se apresentaram como promissores no sentido de contribuir de forma significativa com a economia circular. As principais tecnologias de reciclagem, de resíduos têxteis, compreendem o processo de moldagem por compressão a quente, o processo de reciclagem mecânica e o processo de reciclagem química.
