As a result of the destruction of buildings and structures during hostilities, acts of terrorism, sabotage or work to eliminate their consequences, a significant amount of waste is generated, among which textile materials occupy a special place. Textile waste includes remnants of fabrics, carpets, furniture upholstery, textile elements of interior decoration, etc. Given the significant amount of destruction in war zones, this waste constitutes a significant environmental and social problem.
Textile materials that end up in waste often have a complex chemical composition, including artificial fibers, dyes, chemical treatments and other components that can be harmful to the environment and human health. Their accumulation and improper handling can cause long-term negative consequences, which requires the use of specialized methods for their processing and reduction of harmful effects.
Military actions, acts of terrorism and sabotage cause mass destruction of buildings and structures, which leads to the formation of a large amount of waste of various nature, among which textile materials occupy a special place. Textile waste consists of various fabrics, textile floor coverings, furniture upholstery, which, due to their quantity and variety, create significant difficulties in handling them.

A pity for the environment and people
Textile waste has a significant negative impact on the environment. The main problem is the long period of decomposition of artificial fibers, from which a large part of modern textiles are made. For example, polyester, one of the most common materials, can take up to 200 years to decompose, contaminating soil and water resources with microplastics.
Another aspect of environmental damage is the chemicals contained in textile waste. They can be released into soil and water, polluting them and endangering ecosystems. Dyes and other chemicals used in the textile production process are especially dangerous. They may contain toxic elements such as lead, cadmium, chromium, which have a serious impact on flora and fauna.
Textile waste can also contribute to the formation of greenhouse gases if it is burned without pretreatment. This contributes to global warming and climate change. In addition, textile materials containing synthetic fibers, when burned, can emit toxic substances that enter the air and can be dangerous for people and animals.
Pity for people
The negative impact of textile waste on human health is no less significant. Chemicals contained in textile materials can cause various diseases, including respiratory and skin diseases. Particularly dangerous are toxic elements such as lead and cadmium, which can cause serious diseases, including cancer.
In addition, textile waste can contribute to the development of allergic reactions in people. Dyes and chemicals used in textile products can be allergens and cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation.
Textile materials containing synthetic fibers, when improperly stored or burned, can emit harmful substances that enter the air. This can lead to the development of respiratory diseases, including asthma, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system.
It is especially worth paying attention to the possibility of ignition of textile waste in landfills. In the event of a fire, these materials can emit toxic gases that have a harmful effect on the health of people living in the immediate vicinity.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the damage caused by textile waste, it is necessary to apply a comprehensive approach that includes the use of modern technologies and methods of waste management. First of all, it is important to ensure effective sorting of textile waste for further processing (R5) or safe storage (D15).
Methods of environmental management of textile waste include:
- introduction of textile materials processing technologies, which allows obtaining new products from secondary raw materials;
- decrease in the use of harmful chemicals in the production of textiles, which reduces the environmental impact of waste;
- creating programs for the reuse (R7) of textiles, such as charitable collections of clothes and fabrics for secondary use;
- organization of collection and transportation of textile waste for the purpose of their further safe storage or processing.
Environmental management of textile waste also includes the use of composting methods for natural fibers, which reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. For this, it is necessary to create appropriate conditions for the biological decomposition of textile materials.
An important stage in the textile waste management process is the collection, sorting, crushing and processing of textile waste. This allows you to effectively prepare waste for further processing or safe storage.
Thus, effective textile waste management requires an integrated approach that includes both technological and organizational measures. This allows not only to reduce the harmful impact of waste on the environment, but also to obtain secondary raw materials for further use.
