Recycling of used fabrics

      With the continuous strengthening of global support for textile waste recycling and the continuous expansion of the market size of textile waste recycling, more and more brand owners and retailers are deeply involved in the textile waste recycling industry. Now let's specifically discuss the ways of textile waste recycling.

      The recycling of textile waste mainly involves the following four major methods: physical recycling, mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, and energy recovery.

1. Physical recycling: Used clothes that are nearly in good condition are sorted, cleaned, disinfected, and then directly circulated through second-hand trading and other means.

2. Mechanical Recycling: The used textiles are crushed, loosened, impurities are removed, and then re-combined into fibers. These fibers are blended with new fibers to produce yarn, which is used for manufacturing recycled fabrics, carpets, etc. Nowadays, more and more brand manufacturers have joined the environmental protection industry, requiring that the textiles they produce and process must contain a certain proportion of waste textile fibers.

3. Chemical Recycling: Through chemical processes such as hydrolysis, the waste from synthetic fibers is decomposed into monomers or oligomers, which are then recombined to synthesize raw materials such as polyester and nylon.

4. Capacity Recovery: The waste materials (severely contaminated materials) obtained from non-woven physical and chemical recycling undergo harmless treatment and are then used for power generation or power supply, recovering thermal energy resources.

      The Earth on which we depend for survival is the only one. We humans should work together to care for the environment of our planet
