textile waste

Textile waste refers to unused or discarded cloth and fabric materials—such as clothing, linens, and manufacturing scraps—that are thrown away instead of reused or recycled. It is a significant part of global waste, often ending up in landfills, where it contributes to environmental issues like pollution and resource depletion. Factors like fast fashion, overproduction, and consumer habits increase textile waste. Addressing this problem involves promoting recycling, sustainable fashion practices, and mindful consumption to reduce the environmental impact of textiles globally.
