Description
Summary:Circular economy and recycling of post-consumer textile waste is gaining momentum. Its major obstacle is low-quality recycled products. This review article analyses commercial post-consumer textile materials, their recycling and applications. Modernization of fibre processing and recycling technology has assumed an indispensable role in the quality enhancement of post-consumer products. A futuristic overview of fabric materials, their processing, recycling and applications is presented by the example of commercial polymers. Different types of recycling â primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, and biological â used with ultramodern compatibilization and cross-linking are explored. Additionally, the conventional and proposed âJust-in-Timeâ (JIT) remanufacturing and recycling technologies for enhancing circular economy are demonstrated.
