“…The textile waste coming from the tires process has been applied, as a discontinuous phase, in two-component epoxy adhesive. The characterization of the prepared samples revealed that the addition of the recovered fibers from the tire recycling determined an increase of the impact strength, but a worsening of the tensile strength and elongation [ 56 ].…”

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.

“…Recycling also helps in greening our infrastructures by conserving natural resources, making our infrastructures more durable due to high-performance mixtures, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution and groundwater contamination [13]. Many researchers researched composite materials reinforced with different textile materials such as textile microfibers waste [14], cotton fibers waste [15], polyester fiber waste [16], woven bamboo fiber [17], rice husk, wheat husk, wood fibers and textile waste fibers [18], Maize Cob and Jute Fiber [19], polyester-cotton fabric [12], cotton, jute, and glass fabric (Masood et al 2018), banana woven fabric 8, paper/jute fabric [20], low-density polyethylene (LDPE) [21], and biodegradable textile waste [22].…”

In recent years, the garment and textile industries generate millions of tons of textile waste every year around the world. Textile wastes are one of the disposed of materials and the sum of disposed of material squander materials expanded from year to year. For this reason, regenerating and utilizing the textile waste item as resources and decreasing environmental pollution may be an extraordinary opportunity. This research is aimed at manufacturing unsaturated polyester composite reinforced with 100% cotton fabric waste for ceiling board application using a manual mixing process followed by the compression molding method. The statistical results showed that mechanical properties of the produced composite samples such as tensile, compressive, flexural, and impact strength are affected by fiber mixed ratio and matrix loading at α = 0.05 . The composite ceiling reinforced with 33 weight % cotton fabric waste and a matrix of 67 weight % unsaturated polyester had a maximum tensile strength of 198 MPa, the flexural strength of 30.1 MPa, and compressive strength of 1105.3 MPa. On the contrary, the false ceiling board made from 10% cotton fabric waste and matrix of 90% unsaturated polyester had a lower tensile strength of 112.6 MPa, flexural strength of 21.5 MPa, and compressive strength of 867.5 MPa. Generally, the manufactured composites’ mechanical behaviors were comparable to existing commercial ceiling boards and the output of this research work can protect the environmental pollution by reducing textile waste disposed to landfills.

Composite systems are materials that due to its characteristics and its achievement of synergistic effects are increasingly applied. The most frequent composites are composites mainly with long fibers. In the interaction with the polymer matrix can be used inorganic fibers, but recently there is a substitution of these fibers with organic fibers. The main advantage of using organic fibers is their low cost, low weight, and availability. The benefits can also cite environmental aspects. The disadvantage is the very nature of the organic material. The paper describes a long-fiber composite system prepared by vacuum infusion and compares the tensile strength of composites with randomly oriented and arranged sisal fibers, depending on the flow direction of the resin during vacuum infusion. Composite systems were cut from boards made by vacuum infusion using a water jet. These boards are widely used by industries such as automotive or building to where the natural fibers can create design function. The use of natural fibers in this process is inexpensive and such materials can be referenced as biocomposites, saving the primary raw material. The paper describes the tensile strength and hardness. Electron microscopy was used to evaluate fracture surfaces and the morphology of the fibers.
