This document discusses textile recycling. It begins by defining textile recycling as the process of recovering old clothing and textiles for reuse or material recovery. It then provides details on the history of textile recycling, noting it has occurred since the 18th century, and outlines the traditional sources and process of textile recycling. Specific details are given on sorting and processing natural versus synthetic fibers for recycling. The document concludes by thanking the reader.

3. TEXTILE RECYCLING
Textile recycling is the process by which old clothing
and other textiles are recovered for reuse or material
recovery. It is the basis for the textile recycling industry.
The necessary steps in the textile recycling process
involve the donation, collection, sorting and processing
of textiles, and then subsequent transportation to end
users of used garments, rags or other recovered
materials.

4. HISTORY OF TEXTILE RECYCLING
Textile recycling is one of the oldest and most
established recycling industries in the world, yet, few
people understand the recycling industry . Textiles have
been recycled since the eighteenth century when the
Napoleonic War caused virgin wool shortages and
required that wool fibers be garneted into new yarns.
Even though the textile industry has been utilizing used
fibers for at least 150 years, the markets for recycled
textile fiber continue to evolve.

5. THE PROCESS OF TEXTILE RECYCLING
Traditional sources of textile waste come from three different sources:
1.fiber, yarn, and fabric processing
2. sewn products manufacture
3.disc Textile and cutting wastes at the manufacturing level are
considered pre-consumer waste and are easier to recycle because the
fibers, dyes, and finishes are known and in like-new condition.

8. FOR TEXTILES TO BE RECYCLED, THERE ARE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NATURAL
AND SYNTHETIC FIBERS. FOR NATURAL TEXTILES:
1.THE INCOMING UNWEARABLE MATERIAL IS SORTED BY TYPE OF MATERIAL AND COLOR
2.TEXTILES ARE THEN PULLED INTO FIBERS OR SHREDDED
3.THE YARN IS THEN CLEANED AND MIXED THROUGH A CARDING PROCESS
4.THEN THE YARN IS RE-SPUN AND READY FOR SUBSEQUENT USE IN WEAVING OR
KNITTING.
5. THEN THE YARN IS RE-SPUN AND READY FOR SUBSEQUENT USE IN WEAVING OR
KNITTING.
