whyneed

Textile waste is a significant environmental problem, which is getting worse every year due to the increase in production and consumption of textile products. These wastes occur at different stages of the textile life cycle: from production to consumption and recycling. The main problem is the ineffective management of textile waste, which leads to significant losses of resources and environmental pollution.

Modern textile production is characterized by a high level of use of raw materials and energy. The mechanical processing of textile waste, including sorting, shredding, compaction and granulation, creates a large amount of waste that requires effective management. The operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) textile waste often leave behind large volumes of secondary waste that cannot be reused or recycled.

These wastes may contain synthetic fibers, dyes and other chemicals that make their further use difficult. In addition, textile waste that has not been properly treated can end up in landfills, where it decomposes over decades, releasing harmful substances into the environment.

Thanks to fast fashion and the short life cycle of many textiles, consumers often replace clothing and other textiles even if they are still usable. This creates additional pressure on waste management systems and leads to the accumulation of significant volumes of textile waste. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Textiles Code NPV 19 12 08.

A pity for the environment and people

howutilize

The environmental impact of textile waste is significant and includes soil, water and air pollution. Textile waste that ends up in landfills can release toxic substances such as dyes, heavy metals and chemical compounds that affect soil and water quality. Synthetic fibers, which are widely used in modern textiles, decompose very slowly, which contributes to the accumulation of microplastics in the natural environment.

In addition, the operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing textile waste can be accompanied by significant emissions into the atmosphere, which contribute to the formation of greenhouse gases and air pollution. All this causes the degradation of ecosystems and negatively affects biodiversity.

Also, transporting textile waste, especially over long distances, can have a significant carbon footprint. This worsens the situation with global warming and climate change, which is one of the greatest environmental threats of our time.

 

Pity for people

Textile waste poses a threat not only to the environment, but also to human health. Chemicals used in the production of textiles can be harmful to health if they enter the environment or come into direct contact with humans. In particular, dyes and other chemicals can cause allergic reactions, skin and respiratory tract irritation.

In addition, workers involved in the operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing textile waste can be exposed to harmful substances that can lead to occupational diseases. Long-term contact with textile waste can also cause chronic diseases of the respiratory system, including asthma and bronchitis.

Another aspect is the impact of textile waste on people's mental health. Massive landfills of textile waste create unattractive living conditions for people living nearby, causing stress and negative emotional reactions. The feeling of helplessness and the negative impact on the quality of life can have long-term consequences for the mental health of the population.

Ways to reduce harm

whyneed

In order to reduce the damage caused by textile waste, it is necessary to apply a comprehensive approach to the management of this waste. Methods of environmental management of textile waste include several strategies aimed at minimizing the impact on the environment and human health.

  • development and implementation of effective textile waste processing technologies;
  • creating a system for collecting and sorting textile waste at the early stages of its formation;
  • use of environmentally safe materials in textile production;
  • promotion of conscious consumption and reuse of textile products (R7);
  • support of research and development in the field of alternative methods of processing textile waste.

One ​​of the important steps is to create effective systems for collecting and processing textile waste, which will reduce the amount of it that ends up in landfills. It is also important to develop innovative technologies that will allow textile waste to be processed into new materials or products, thereby reducing the need to extract new resources.

Environmental management of textile waste also includes promoting the idea of ​​conscious consumption among the population. This involves informing consumers about the impact of their choices on the environment and health, as well as supporting initiatives aimed at the reuse and recycling of textile products.
