Textile recycling

Textile recycling is the process of recovering fiber, yarn, or fabric and reprocessing the material into new, useful products.^[1] Textile waste is split into pre-consumer and post-consumer waste and is sorted into five different categories derived from a pyramid model.^[2]^[3] Textiles can be either reused or mechanically/chemically recycled.^[4]^[5]

There has been a shift in recent years toward recycling textiles because of new regulations in several countries.^[6] In response, companies are developing products from both post-consumer waste and recycled materials such as plastics. Results from academic studies demonstrate that textile reuse and recycling are more advantageous than incineration and landfilling.^[7]
