Description :
Textile industry has a long history of being cautious with its resources; a large proportion of
unnecessary waste is still produced each year. Commercially, textile waste generation is
influenced by the production of textile goods, higher the production, greater the amount of
waste, due to consumer demand which is influenced on the production of household textile
waste. Consumers react to changes in fashion both in clothing and household interior
designs, so seasonal changes in fashion mean that clothes can become outdated very
quickly which encourages the replacement and disposal of outdated, yet good quality
garments. Now the management of waste is an alarming problem, hence objectives of this
study is to prevent the generation of waste, promote reuse of waste, promote biological
recovery of waste and ensure the treatment and disposal of waste does not cause any
harmful impacts. Waste increases operating costs so waste minimization techniques often
considered the best tool for pollution control at source and to improve not only productive
but enhance compliance status from environmental angle. Textile recycling also resulted to
better economics since it provided job opportunities for peoples that could be created with
these recycled textiles. Also textile recycling teaches everyone to reuse, reduce and recycle
these products instead of throwing them away which cause pollution and more damage to
the air around us, so it is the time to think and make up our mind to use recycle products
to reduce the environmental pollution. Therefore, there was a need to develop the interest of
people towards reuse.
