Textile recycling is the process of recovering the used fabrics, yarn, fibers and reprocessing them into similar useful products. Textile recycling is one of the urgent practices to be followed in many countries as it aims to reduce the landfill. Textile products are collected from various sectors, after which they are treated according to their types, condition, composition and requirements.
Fibers take thousands of years to decompose that result in the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere. It is estimated that each year about 2, 50,000 tones go to landfills and 63,000 tones are recycled.
