Waste or wastage is the term for materials that remain unutilized after a product's initial use or process completion. It is a type of substance that is worthless, ineffective, or flawed. Thus, material that loses its value or becomes unusable after the creation of any textile product has concluded is referred to as textile waste. Produce waste occurs during all phases of the textile production process, including spinning, weaving, knitting, dying, finishing, and garment making. This study examines the effects textile waste on the environment and the difficulties in recycling procedures within the industry, which is crucial for the world economy and ecosystem. It is crucial to move towards a circular economy model since the textile industry produces a lot of trash because of its fast fashion cycles and high levels of production to meet demand. This study emphasizes the textile industry's significant environmental impact. The conclusions show that although textile recycling can help lessen the industry's environmental impact, there are still a number of obstacles to overcome, including the need for low-grade materials to have commercially viable recycling processes, the high cost of recovery procedures, and the logistical and technical challenges associated with separating fiber blends. In order to deal with these issues, the study emphasizes how crucial it is to develop environmentally friendly procedures and cutting-edge recycling technologies.
