What Is Textile Recycling? Textile recycling is the process of recovering used fibres and fabrics and reusing the material to create useful products. Recycling textiles has become increasingly important as 350,000 tonnes of clothing makes its way into landfills every year. At Kinrich Ltd, we cannot stress the importance of recycling enough, and there are lots of ways to keep all textiles in use.
Recycling textiles is an excellent way to make room while doing something good for the world. Once in a landfill, textiles can take hundreds, sometimes thousands of years to decompose, and they release harmful gases into the atmosphere, accounting for 10% of global carbon emissions. Some textiles are designed not to decompose.
The process of recycling textiles is different depending if the fibres are natural or synthetic. For natural fibres, the material is sorted into fabric type and colour. Colour sorting determined whether it needs re-dyeing. It is then cleaned and mixed, then re-spun ready to be used for weaving or knitting. Some fibres are compressed so they can be used for things such as mattress filling. For synthetic fibres like polyester, they are granulated into chips. The chips are then melted to create new fibres for polyester textiles.
