Limitations of Textile Recycling: The Reason behind the Development of Alternative Sustainable Fibers

Abstract: The sharply increasing world population reveals the insufficiency of natural resources in meeting the needs of humanity, while creating a tendency to search for new resources. Textile products constitute one of the most basic needs of humanity and the consumption of textile products is also increasing due to the changing fashion sense, increasing population, and technology developments. Discovery of alternative or renewable energy sources, recycling of all kinds of materials, enhancing engineering methods and … Show more

“…And finally, despite the aforementioned challenges, several promising technologies are being developed to transform waste streams in secondary raw materials targeting higher-value products. Relevant examples that are reaching or have already reached a commercial stage include the following: (i) the sustainable plastic PEF (polyethylene furanoate) from plant-based sugars [103]; (ii) 100% recycled fibers from textile wastes [104]; (iii) bio-based thermoplastics from heterogeneous waste streams [105]; (iv) high-purity chemical building blocks from lignocellulosic wastes [106,107]; and (v) second-generation ethanol from vegetable wastes (notably sugarcane bagasse and straw) [108]. Based on the results and the future competition that could take place between sectors as the TRL increases, the following recommendations are made to avoid or reduce competition between sectors when incorporating biowaste as a raw material in value chains:…”

“…There are 10 principles for earning FSC forest management certification, which cover a wide range of issues from maintaining high conservation values to community relations and workers' rights, as well as monitoring environmental and social impacts of forest management. 28 According to ATKINS-SAYRE, 29 in People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), causes include working for the rights of animals, opposing research on animals, their dissection, the use of fur, and the use of animals in attractions such as circuses and rodeos, for example.…”

“…fabrication of low value-added materials (mattress llers and insulation materials). 5 As far as cellulose-based textile waste is concerned, the upcycling options considered till now have been dissolving cellulose-based waste and spinning bers or casting lms; this work is supported by research projects and exists on university laboratory scale 6,7 or performed by small companies. 8,9 In this work we focus on cellulose-based textile waste, and we demonstrate that it is possible to make various high added-value porous materials, in particular, cellulose aerogels.…”
