Recycling of Textiles

摘要

The increase in demand and consumption for textiles is a result for global population growth and the living standards improvement. Most of the solid recyclable wastes in the textile industry refer to natural and synthetic fiber materials, in addition to fabric wastes upon the manufacturing process. Textile manufacturers undertake a range of waste-generating activities such as washing, drying, warp preparation, weaving, dyeing, printing, finishing, quality and process control, and warehousing, in addition to garment making. The major wastes generated by this sector are fiber wastes, scraps, hard fibers, beaming wastes, off-cuts, packaging, and spools and Dyeing, printing and finishing processes use up to 200 | of water per kilogram of fiber, making waste water the largest waste in this sector by volume.
