The Reuse Of Waste Textiles Can Be Learned From Abroad.

There are mainly 3 ways of recycling, namely physical recovery, energy recovery and chemical recovery.

Mechanics

After processing, it can be reused or get some primary raw materials recycling methods.

For example, the waste clothing can be cut into small pieces, used as a rag, and the carpet products that have been refurbished after repair process can be reused for discarded carpet with less serious damage.

Energy recovery is a method of recovering and reusing chemical fibers with high calorific value from waste textiles to be converted into heat by burning. It is suitable for energy recovery methods for waste textiles which can not be recycled.

Chemical recovery is a method of recycling and reusing polymers from waste textiles to obtain monomers and then use these monomers to produce new chemical fibers.

Consumption

Very large. Before 1990s, a large number of waste carpets produced in these countries were mostly used as landfill. Only a few of the old rugs that were not badly damaged were refurbished and reused.

In 1990, chemical fiber producers in these countries began to explore and try the recycling technology of nylon. In December 2000, the P0lyamideAG plant in Premnitzz, Germany, used Novo synthesis technology to recycle carpet waste, and processed 120 thousand tons of old carpet every year, producing 10 thousand tons of nylon and 613 thousand tons of industrial nylon.

From 2002 to 2007, the United States recovered and reused 454 thousand tons of waste carpets, of which about 125 thousand tons were recycled in 2007.

In 2010, the total amount of waste carpet recycling in the United States reached 545 thousand tons, of which 96 thousand tons were refurbished, 422 thousand tons were converted to other products, and 27 thousand tons were used for thermal power generation.

channel

Scattered around the neighborhood committees.

In contrast, the UK's recycling channels are diversified, including the adoption of door-to-door recycling by various charitable organizations, the establishment of textile recycling stations, the establishment of charity points in downtown areas and recycling boxes on the street.

The old clothes that can be sold are left in the store, and the rest are sent to professional institutions for classification, processing and sales.

The Nathan recycling company, built in 1903, is the largest company in the UK. It collects waste clothes from charity shops and sets up more than more than 1000 textile banks. It classifies and processes more than 350 thousand tons of material each week, and 98% is recycled.

In 2003, 303 thousand tons of textiles were recovered, 41 thousand tons of garments were reused for sale, and 174 thousand tons of garments were exported to overseas countries.
