Abstract
As a result of global population growth and rising living standards, textile
fiber production and consumption are projected to continue to grow and global fiber
production is expected to reach 156 million tonnes by 2030. The increase in the production
and consumption of textile products causes an increase in the amount of generated textile
waste. The increasing quantities of textile waste is a significant problem, as 2 to 15 kilograms
of waste per person are generated annually in Europe. The largest producers of textile waste
in Europe are Belgium, Czech Republic, Portugal, Italy, Austria and Netherlands. Only 20%
of clothing waste is collected globally for reuse or recycling. The remaining 80% is deposited
or incinerated, resulting in a large loss of energy and raw materials.
Keywords: textile waste, recycling, landfilling, sustainability
