摘要
Fabric waste recycling is one of the key aspects to consider in moving towards circular economy in textiles. The demand for fabric waste recycling is primarily driven by the resource recovery perspective and the detrimental environmental impact of disposal and landfilling. Despite the strong desire and demand for circularity in textiles, a holistic view of fabric waste recycling has not yet been presented. To fill this gap, this paper synthesises the literature that pertains on fabric waste recycling. In particular, the current state of fabric waste recycling technologies, emerging trends in fabric recycling applications, and associated challenges were discussed. Results demonstrate the lack of effort towards fabric-to-fabric recycling and recycling of fibre blends. Most frequently studied fabric type for recycling is unblended cotton (50%), followed by cotton/polyester blends (29%). Mechanical recycling was found to be the most studied method of recycling (43%), whereas chemical and biochemical recycling accounted for 38% and 14%, respectively. Open-loop recycling is currently the dominating form of fabric waste recycling with a major focus on the construction and building sector (34%). This paper also identifies and discusses six key challenges present in fabric recycling and provides recommendations for scaling up fabric-to-fabric recycling process. Findings of this review would provide directions and opportunities for research and policy to move towards a circular textile economy.
