Regenerative Textiles: A Framework for Future Materials Circularity in the Textile Value Chain

Abstract: Materials science breakthroughs have regenerated high value fibres from end-of-life cellulose-based textiles that can be introduced into existing textile fabrication processes from raw material to textile product in established textile value chains. Scientific developments with regenerated cellulose fibres obtained from waste textiles suggest their potential to replace virgin resources. The current scale-up of regeneration technologies for end-of-life cellulose-based textiles towards pilot and commercial scale… Show more

“…By utilising biomaterials' characteristics of self-assembly, the energy of manufacturing steps is reduced, thus cutting out parts of the value chain [9]. The process of co-designing with the characteristics of a material provides an opportunity to cut down on conventional manufacturing steps for different material industries.…”

“…This issue can be observed throughout the value chain of textile products. The production of raw materials is intensive in land, water, fertilizers, and pesticides consumption [12][13][14]. The processing of textile materials and the production of garments requires the use of chemicals, some of them hazardous to health or the environment [15,16].…”

“…Using biobased circular fibers and materials similar to their standard comparatives is a design must. Although scientific advances have introduced viable biobased alternatives into today's linear supply chains, these materials alone do not affect the current model of textile production and its associated environmental and social impacts [1]. This is a crucial issue for the fashion industry.…”
