Textile waste plays a major role in increasing environmental pollution. Increasing waste on land and growing population, decreasing land for farming and plantations, attract new methods of agriculture. Vertical farming is one of the suggested solutions for producing food for a growing population, concentrating on the cultivation of plantations and managing the textile waste in growing herbs, shrubs, and small plants. This study investigates the replacement of soil with textile waste for different plants in a vertical planting system and the suitability of textile waste as a sustainable substrate in a natural outdoor environment. It also determines if plants require specific lighting conditions or added fertilizer in this process. The study aims to investigate whether textile waste can be used as a replacement for soil for planting and examine the degradation of textile waste as a substrate for plant growth. To this end, seed germination, seedling growth, and planting of moss, herbs, shrubs, and small plants with dicot roots and monocot roots were observed on woven and nonwoven textile waste in a natural outdoor environment near a roadside with no specific lighting and no added fertilizers. The developed plants on textile waste in this ecosystem have attracted insects and become natural habitats for insects like honeybees, ants, and earthworms. The textile waste also absorbed the fine dust pollution from the open environment. This fine dust with given regular water decomposes the textile waste. To this end, the results showed that moss, herbs, shrubs, and small plants with taproots (dicot) and fibrous roots (monocot) on textile waste are indeed possible and allow for growing a platform for plant species, suggesting recycling of textile waste for growing plants to increase the green land and saving land to be filled with textile waste.
