Abstract
Large amounts of textile waste are generated every year and disposed of through landfill or incineration, leading to numerous environmental and social issues. In this work from Yixiang Wang and Chufan Zhou, the dissolution of three typical waste cotton fabrics (t-shirts, bed sheets and jeans) in NaOH/urea aqueous solution, H2SO4 aqueous solution, and LiCl/DMAc solution was demonstrated. It proves the feasibility to recycle waste cotton fabrics into biodegradable cellulose films, which have potential applications in food packaging and agriculture. DOI: 10.1002/app.51255
