Zusammenfassung:
The expansion of the textile industry and consumer trends have led to a rapid global increase in textile waste in the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. Worldwide, 75% of textile waste is landfilled, while 25% is recycled or reused. Landfilling textile waste is a prevalent option that is considered unsustainable. This paper aims to present various technologies (anaerobic digestion, fermentation, composting, fiber regeneration and thermal recovery) of reuse and recycling for better waste management. Applying extended producer responsibility and a circular economy system involves a holistic consensus among major stakeholders.
