Textile recycling is a sustainable process that involves collecting, reusing, or repurposing textile products to extend their lifecycle and minimize environmental impact. It encompasses various activities aimed at diverting textiles, such as clothing, fabric scraps, and other textile materials, from landfills and incinerators. The primary goal of textile recycling is to reduce waste, conserve valuable resources, and decrease the carbon footprint associated with textile production. This process typically begins with the collection of discarded textiles, which can be sourced from individual donations, clothing banks, or even post-consumer waste. Once collected, these textiles undergo sorting and cleaning processes to separate items that are suitable for reuse from those that require further processing. Reusable items may be resold or donated, while damaged or unsuitable textiles can be broken down into fibers for use in manufacturing new textile products or for other applications like insulation or padding. Textile recycling helps promote sustainability by conserving raw materials and reducing textile waste and helps address social and economic aspects by creating job opportunities and supporting charitable endeavors.
