Fibre-to-fibre recycling in textiles: strategies, limitations and industrial pe...

Textile-to-textile recycling is increasingly recognised as essential to reduce the environmental footprint of the textile sector, yet fibre-to-fibre routes remain constrained by complex composition of fibre blends, chemical finishes and the degradation of fibre quality during repeated processing. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recycling strategies for major textile fibres, cotton, polyester, v...

The development of technical yarns containing recycled textile fibres and natur...

The textile industry is one of the most polluting sectors globally. In 2023, the global production and consumption of textiles reached approximately 100 million tonnes, with most of these textiles being disposed of in landfills or incinerated. In response to the increasingly demanding EU regulations, the mitigation and valorisation of textile industry waste has become imperative. Recycling technologies can be r...

Selective elastane removal using DMSO–DBN under moderate temperatures: from pur...

Selective removal of elastane from textile blends is a critical factor for fibre-to-fibre recycling, since even low elastane content compromises the mechanical shredding efficiency, contaminates recycled streams, and limits the spinnability of recovered fibres. In this work, we investigate dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a solvent system for elastane degradation under moderate temperatures, both in the absence and...

Reinforcing cotton recycled fibers for the production of high-quality textile s...

The textile industry is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to the significant environmental impacts associated with fiber production, including high energy consumption, water usage, and substantial greenhouse gas emissions. The recycling of textile waste, particularly cotton, is a promising solution that has the potential to reduce landfill waste and decrease the demand for virgin fibe...

Technical yarns containing recycled fibers from pre-consumer textile residues

The textile industry is widely recognized as one of the world's most polluting industries. It produces a considerable amount of waste, including residual waste from the manufacturing process itself, as well as waste resulting from the utilization of products by consumers and industrial waste from production activities (i.e. post-industrial and pre- and post-consumer waste). In the specific case of the post-indu...

Transforming post-industrial textile cutting waste into circular garments: a re...

The exponential growth of global textile fibre production has intensified environmental pressures, notably through the generation of substantial volumes of waste, elevated CO₂ emissions, and widespread water pollution. In response to these challenges, this study presents a sustainable and scalable approach to textile waste management, focusing on the mechanical recycling of post-industrial cutting waste — a sig...

Production of nonwoven structures from novel natural fibers: innovation and sus...

Reinforcing cotton recycled fibers for the production of high-quality textile s...

The textile industry is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to the significant environmental impacts associated with fiber production, including high energy consumption, water usage, and substantial greenhouse gas emissions. The recycling of textile waste, particularly cotton, is a promising solution that has the potential to reduce landfill waste and decrease the demand for virgin fibe...

Alternative organic solvents for elastane removal from textile waste: a case st...

The increasing demand for sustainable textile recycling has driven the search for effective methods to separate and recover valuable materials from fabric waste. Elastane, a widely applied synthetic polymer in the textile industry due to its flexibility and durability, presents considerable environmental challenges after the material life cycle. Thus, the development of effective methods for elastane degradatio...

Development of multifunctional textiles by the incorporation of nanomaterials o...

[Except] Introduction Nowadays, the advancements in technologies led to the creation of nocive agents like biological and chemical. These agents have increased the concern of the responsible organisms like governments and society regarding the use of protective equipment. We are more and more exposed to harmful threats, namely ultraviolet (UV) radiation, pathogenic microorganisms, ionizing and nonionizing radia...
