Recycling of textiles has become very important in the recent years. The rise in living standards has caused the demand for textile and clothing to grow exceptionally. Like any other industry the textile industry also generates all types of industrial waste. Many useful materials can be recovered from these materials by using new technologies. The wastage of raw material can be reduced by improving manufacturing techniques. The wastage of raw materials at each stage can be reduced, saving major inputs. During the process of recycling certain kinds of wastes such as solid base can be recovered by adopting improved technologies, where these waste can be converted into useful materials for other applications. In environment based production strategies, environmental protection becomes an economic activity that’s means to be considered through all processes from designing to packaging. A large amount of fibrous waste is generated every year. For environmental and economic reasons, industries and scientist have been inventing various technologies to recycle this textile waste.
