Well I wonder actually how if there is a recycling of fabrics ?? And how is it going?
Well, the fabric can't be eaten, it can't be drunk, can it be smoked?
Fabric
Extract from a FAQ from another site:
"What happens to the raw material for the cloth industry?
This part of used clothing is freed by hand of any hard or rigid element (cuffs, buttons, zippers, etc.), cut and used worldwide, in particular in the machinery and automobile industry.
What happens to the raw material for the frayed and nonwoven industry?
These textiles are torn and tapered mechanically. The fibers thus obtained are prepared in several operations for use in spinning and weaving. New clothing can contain up to a quarter of recycled fiber. These also make it possible to manufacture nonwoven for different uses.
What happens to the raw material for the paper and cardboard industry?
These textiles, generally of lower quality, are frayed, reduced to pulp and mixed with binders and then mechanically laminated in paper or cardboard (eg bituminized cardboard).
Are there still other technical possibilities to recycle used textiles?
Yes, some automobile parts are already made from recycled textile fibers, in particular the rear panels, the interior coverings of the fenders, etc. With textile residues we manufacture for example insulating panels. Specialists around the world are looking for possible new applications, which often fail because it is impossible to guarantee the long-term homogeneity of the raw material or because of the lack of profitability.
