Das Buch untersucht die Kreislaufwirtschaft speziell für Textilien und konzentriert sich auf innovative Recycling-Technologien, die Fasern zurück in den Produktionsprozess führen. Mit Fokus auf Cradle-to-Cradle-Prinzipien und nachhaltige Ecodesign-Strategien werden praktische Lösungen für eine ressourcenschonende Textilindustrie vermittelt. Der aktuelle politische Rahmen und konkrete Implementierungsmöglichkeiten zeigen Wege auf, wie Unternehmen Textil-zu-Textil-Recycling erfolgreich umsetzen können.

Uniquely holistic view of textile-to-textile recycling, not only focusing on fashion or carpet
Technological consideration of recycling processes and strategies
Current state of the art and well-founded outlook into the future
Easy to understand through the use of many pictures and diagrams, with in-depth practical examples
Global view from an expert international authorship from both industry and academia

In this book, the concept of the circular economy is examined from the point of view of textile-to-textile recycling, with strong consideration of the latest political objectives. Readers will gain an understanding of the basic principles and implementation possibilities, and discover which textile-to-textile recycling solutions have already been implemented in industry and which solutions are promising for the future. Thus, this work is the starting point for readers who want or need to contribute to saving our environment through concrete actions. The process chain of textile production and recycling is first presented. Based on this, concepts for textile-to-textile recycling are explained and deepened using industry examples. These concepts are further developed and finally implemented as strategies for a transformation into a circular economy. Global fiber production is growing continuously and with it its negative impact on our environment. Although the share of recycled fibers is also increasing, it is mainly linear bottle recycling; the share of pre- or post-consumer textile recycling remains less than 1% of the fiber market. With an international authorship from both industry and academia, and reader-friendly presentation including many illustrations and in-depth practical examples, this book identifies possible solutions to these challenges.
