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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The major players operating in the global recycled textile market are companies such as Gebrueder Otto Gmbh and Co. kg, Leigh Fibers Inc., Martex Fiber Southern Corp, Re NewcellAB, and Khaloom Textiles India Pvt. Ltd.
During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for the largest share in the global recycled textile market, followed by Europe. The largest market share of the Asia Pacific region is primarily attributable to the growth of recycled textile market in China and the country currently holds 28.0% market share in Asia Pacific region. Fashion is the second most polluting industry in operation internationally, and the increasing pollution concerns in China has also influenced the recycled textile industry in the country. Rapid urbanization coupled with shift in lifestyle and rise in disposable income amongst consumer have altogether driven the demand for textile, leading to rise in amount of textile waste in the region. Hence, recycling of textile waste has been adopted as a suitable alternative amongst developed and developing economies of the region to keep in line with objective of environment sustainability.
On the basis of type, the recycled textiles market is categorized into recycled cotton, recycled wool, recycled polyester, recycled nylon and others. In 2019, the recycled polyester segment dominated the market by accounting for 33.0% of the total market share. Over the period of the time, it has been observed that the consumption of polyester has been increased, which has perpetually increased the amount of waste. This propels the need to recycle polyester which helps to save energy and promote environment sustainability. Further, the textile produced from recycled polyester has the potential of being recycled repeatedly without posing any effect on the quality of the material. Also, the use of recycled polyester eliminates the dependency on petroleum as a raw material for the manufacture of fabrics. The manufactures involved in the business of recycled textiles mainly use closed-loop processes to refine old polyester into raw materials used for the production of new garments and other items.
Based on end user industry, the global recycled textiles market is segmented into automotive, retail, mining and others. The worldwide production of apparel and textile fibers has increased, owing to the tremendous rise in the global population. This has resulted in the generation of a high amount of textile wastes. In order to ensure sustainability and reduce the environmental impact, the textile and retail sectors have resorted to the recycling of textiles, which is a method of reusing and reprocessing used clothing, fibrous material, and clothing scraps from the manufacturing processes. Unwearable textiles are treated as damaged textiles and are processed in the factories as rags. The rags are collected and sent to the flocking and wiping industries.
The recycled nylon emerged as the fastest growing segment in the global market. 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.
