Abstract
Flame retardants (FRs) have been around us for decades to increase the chances of survival against fire or flame by limiting its propagation. The FR textiles, irrespective of their atmospheric presence are used in baby clothing, pushchairs, car seats, etc. The overall FR market in Asia, Europe, and the United States in 2007 was around 1.8 million metric tonnes. It is estimated that the worldwide consumption of FRs will reach 2.8 million tonnes in 2018. Unfortunately, a sustainable approach for textile waste, especially in the case of FR textiles, is absent. Incineration and landfill of FR textiles are hindered by various toxic outcomes. To address the need for sustainable methods of discarding FR textiles, the mechanical recycling of cotton curtains was evaluated.

Summary
Flame retardants (FRs) have been used to increase the chances of survival against fire or flame by limiting its propagation. FR products are the source of different environmental presences and pollution, such as air [7], useddust to bring special fire safety and healthcare to textiles have shown to health effects [8], surface water [9], drinking water [10],attributes and wastewater pollution [11]. A toxicity check involves halogens, including the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and a long procedure; in addition, banning any toxic chemical product involves various political and phosphate FRs like Tris (2,3-dibromopropyl), are banned worldwide [6,14]. Many people textile products in homes the and persistence assessment of are a FRexposed involves to theFR occurrence of chemicals that areand released every into water, air, and soil. The study investigates the proposed mechanical recycling process of FR products to assess the overall carbon footprint of the product in comparison to the incineration process at disposal
