Textile recycling is the process of recovering fibers, fabrics, and finished garments from post-industrial or post-consumer textile waste and reprocessing them into usable raw materials for new products. This includes mechanical recycling (e.g., shredding into fibers), chemical recycling (breaking down fibers at the molecular level), and reuse of textiles in their original form. The primary goal is to reduce landfill waste, minimize environmental impact, and promote a circular economy by extending the life cycle of textile materials through sustainable recovery and reintegration into the production chain.
