Procedures of textile waste recycling
Keywords:
textile, waste, recycling, isolationAbstract
A large amount of textile waste is produced in municipal environment and the economy each year. Although the textile waste is classified as biodegradable waste, such classification is not appropriate. A large amount of textile waste components is biologically poorly degradable (polymer fibers, wool, surface treated materials, fiber-reinforced composites, etc.). Disposal of textile waste to landfill is lately confined. If textile waste is burned for heat utilization, thereby results in environmentally hazardous gases. The application of such technology is only possible in sufficiently large waste incineration plants, which are equipped with efficient devices for flue gas purification. Therefore the use of different procedures of textile waste recycling depending on type of wastes and products that are to be produced by recycling is recommended. Possibilities for use of products made from recycled textiles are in construction industry, automotive industry, agriculture, crafts, etc.Downloads
