Research opportunities for recycling organic textile wastes
Aishwariya Sachidhanandham
Avinashilingam University for Women, India
Textile is one of the important industries to
mankind and its growth is ever increasing.
It holds a quintessential position supplying the
needs of a new born to the dead and in some
culture even the afterlife beliefs as it meets one
of the essential factors for survival. Clothing
today has extended its horizon and it extends
from protection against extreme temperatures
to establishing a social image for a person. It is
possible to reach moon and mine with the help of
clothing. It is the dark side that more production
results in more pollution. Now, wastes (pollutants)
are seen as a wealth potential. Especially the
organic waste that has less chemicals can be
recycled into a sustainable product. This paper
deals with sharing the findings of the research that
focused on bio-managing the hitherto polluting
cotton textile waste into bio-manure, handmade
paper, absorbent wipes, composites and bio-mass
briquettes. It can serve as an eye opener to the
fraternity involved in exploring green energy and
sustainable recycling technologies.
