摘要

Textile industry is booming all over the globe, with India ranking second and the United States coming in third in terms of textile manufacturing after China. The expansion of textile industry has repercussions on the global economy. The textile industry has become one of the foundations of the economy. Among world’s textile producers, China and India holds top positions in the list. India is the world’s second-largest supplier of textiles and apparel, accounting for 5% of global trade (Chand et al. in J Mater Cycles Waste Manag 25(6), 3132–3143, 2023). Global textile production of fiber has replicated from 58 million tons in 2000 to 109 million tons in 2020, and by 2023, the production is expected to reach 145 million tons. As the technologies that could support clothes to be recycled into virgin fibers are now emerging, only 1% of used clothes are recycled into fresh clothes (E. Union in The impact of textile production and waste on the environment (infographics), 2020). From 1960 to 2018, the total amount of textiles generated (in tons), recycled, transformed into compost, burned in energy recovery, and landfilled was recorded and represented in (United Nations Environmental Protection Agency in Textiles: material-specific data, 2024).
