The Global Textile Recycling market is expected to reach USD 6.13 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period 2021 to 2030. The rising environmental concern over garbage production and growing public awareness of textile recycling is expected to increase the development of the market for textile recycling.

Market Overview

Used clothing and textile waste are recycled to generate recycled textiles. The practice of recycling used clothing, fibrous materials, and even manufacturing waste involves employing textiles. The majority of textiles that are recyclable are created from municipal waste, including old or discarded carpets, clothing, furniture, tyres, shoes, and other non-durable items like towels and sheets. Recycling is the process of turning used materials and garments into new products. Reduced need for new materials like cotton and wool, pollution, and energy and water use are all indicators of the economic and environmental benefits of recycled fabrics. The demand for freshly created fibres can be reduced by using the fabrics and fibres already available. By conserving energy, water, chemicals, and colours, lowers pollution. By recycling, businesses can increase their profit margins by avoiding the expense of landfill disposal, while also improving the quality and value of the environment, hiring workers that haven't worked for charity, aiding in disaster relief, and transporting used clothing to areas in need. An increase in recycling operations and rising demand from a variety of industries, including the retail sector, the automotive industry, and the building and construction industry, are what is fueling the growth of the global recycled textile market. The price of recycled materials is predicted to be relatively low compared to the cost of new products, which will also help the recycled textile industry grow. However, rising processing costs and a lack of employment opportunities are expected to restrain the growth of the global market for recovered textiles. It is predicted that throughout this time, the advancement of recycling technology would present profitable expansion prospects for the recycled textile industry. Government and non-profit activities have raised consumer awareness of textile recycling. As a result of greater awareness, there has been a notable increase in waste textile donations and collections, which supports the expansion of the world's recycled textile industry. The company can get a number of cost advantages by using recovered textiles. Virgin fibres are significantly more expensive than recycled materials. It is preferable to transition to recycled textiles because virgin materials are not always readily available, which slows down production and increases the overall cost of manufacturing. Additionally, the processing of recycled materials like wool, cotton, and polyester is less complicated, which raises the need for recycled textiles.
