Market Insights
Rising Concerns Related to Disposal of Textile Waste
The textile manufacturing mechanism is considered to be one of the chemical intensive processes which generate a high volume of textile waste throughout its operations. The textile waste may be segregated into two groups, pre-consumer textile waste and post-consumer textile. The rise in amount of textile waste creates a burden on environment and generates the problem of effective disposal or incineration on existing landfills. According to an estimate, approximately 10–20% of all unused textile products are considered to be wasted. For instance, according to US EPA, in 2015, a total of 15.75 million tons of textiles were generated as municipal solid waste, of which 19% were incinerated, while 65 percent, ended in landfills. Further, a report by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency suggests that production and disposal of textiles results into greenhouse gas emissions. Further, the process of incineration emits organic substances such as heavy metals, dioxins, acidic gases and dust particles, which are considered as harmful to both humans and the environment. Also, the disposing of residual ash has also become a serious issue as it also contains a high concentration of toxic material. Hence, it is quite imperative to effectively manage of textile waste through reuse or recycling methods, which could promote environment sustainability. Under such situations, recycling of textile waste is considered to be a viable alternative, which helps to reduce burden on natural resource, minimizes the need for landfill space and helps in saving energy. Moreover, the stringent government legislations regulating the effective management of textile waste are potentially aimed to promote the use of textile recycling as a sustainable alternative to treat the impending problem related to waste.
Type Insights
Based on type, the recycled textile market is segmented into recycled cotton, recycled wool, recycled polyester, recycled nylon, and others. The recycled nylon segment is expected to grow at fastest growth rate during the forecast period of 2019-2027. Recycled nylon is made from industrial plastics, waste fibers, discards from weaving mills, and post-consumer fishing nets. They are regenerated into new nylon, which has the same quality as that of virgin nylon. Nylon bags, nylon fabrics, and nylon carpets are also converted into recycled nylon for further use. A large proportion of the recycled nylon comes from the fishing nets. It acts as a great solution to divert ocean garbage. Recycling nylon is an expensive process as compared to nylon, but it offers many environmental benefits. By recycling nylon, one can eliminate discards and reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing. It lessens the dependence on petroleum as a raw material source. Using recycled nylon also helps in promoting new recycling streams for nylon products that are no longer in use. Most mechanically recycled materials are melted at high temperatures that end up destroying contaminants and transform the materials into reusable forms. Nylon melts at low temperatures while recycling, leaving the contaminants behind. Therefore, nylon requires to be carefully cleaned before recycling.
End-User Industry Insights
Based on end-user industry, the recycled market is segmented into automotive, retail, mining and others. The automotive segment is expected to grow at fastest growth rate during the forecast period of 2019-2027. Recycled textiles used in the automotive industry and have a large contribution in the production of automobile components. The use of recycled textiles in automotive applications includes visible components like floor coverings, upholstery, safety belts, and not visible to viewers recycled textiles like tubes and tapes, tyre cord, airbags components, and fibers. Recycled textiles are used in automotive industry owing to their tensile strength, abrasion, air permeability, compression resistance, elasticity, ease of cleaning, flame resistance and resistance to dynamic climatic conditions. Recycled cotton is used in seat stuffing or automotive insulation.
