Abstract

The textile industry is one of the critical industries that fulfils one of the fundamental requirements of human beings and, subsequently, becomes an unavoidable part of human life. Furthermore, the consumption of textile products is increasing rapidly over time, both locally and globally, due to population growth. The increased consumption of textile products has been a concern regarding both increased textile waste streams and environmental impacts. It is because of harmful chemicals and high water and energy consumption. Due to the widespread use of non-biodegradable packaging materials, this industry produces significant volumes of wastewater, sludge, gaseous waste, fabric waste, yarn waste, and fiber waste. The manufacture of textiles may be well controlled while producing the least amount of waste possible. Small quantities of resources used in the textile business, such as raw materials, water, energy, chemicals, and auxiliary materials, result in environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The kinds, origins, management practices, and advantages of textile waste are covered in this chapter. Recommendations are given for efficiently handling textile waste at the chapter's conclusion.
