Upcycling of cotton polyester blended textile waste to new man-made cellulose fibers

How fashion can achieve sustainable development through a circular economy and stakeholder engagement: A systematic literature review

“…• Closing resource loops: this cluster includes CF practices implemented with an aim to keep materials in the economy, Closed-loop recycling, a process where unwanted resources and products are collected, recycled, and then used again to make the same product it came from, and thus to create a circular flow of resources • Recycling for manufacturing a same product type (e.g., recycling polyester fabrics to polyester yarn for the same fashion item production) 42 (44.7%) Al Faruque et al, 2019;Bloomfield & Borstrock, 2018;Bocken et al, 2017;Bukhari et al, 2018;Cattermole, 2018;Corvellec & Stål, 2019;Daddi et al, 2019;do Amaral et al, 2018;Earley, 2017;Earley, 2019;Fischer & Pascucci, 2017;Franco, 2017;Goldsworthy & Ellams, 2019;Haslinger et al, 2019;Holtström et al, 2019;Hu et al, 2018;Hussain, 2018;Hvass & Pedersen, 2019;Karell & Niinimäki, 2019;Koszewska, 2018;Leal Filho et al, 2019;Määttänen et al, 2019;…”

Recycling of vat and reactive dyed textile waste to new colored man-made cellulose fibers

“…16,17 Besides the adjustment of macromolecular properties, the pretreatment can also involve purification steps such as bleaching and the removal of metals. 18 A bleached product has so far been more preferable on a commercial scale due to hygiene and aesthetic reasons, although it increases the consumption of chemicals and water, also demanding subsequent re-dyeing. It is evident that these approaches do not sufficiently comply with the principles of green processing.…”
