Clothes / Textiles Waste

Clothes and textiles waste is rapidly increasing, primarily due to fast fashion. Millions of garments are discarded each year, adding to environmental challenges. At Alfa Therm Limited, we provide sustainable solutions to manage textile waste, diverting it from landfills through recycling, upcycling, and resource recovery. Textile waste includes discarded clothing, linens, upholstery, and other materials that are no longer reusable. Improper disposal of textiles, especially those with synthetic fibers, leads to long decomposition times and environmental harm. With effective management, textiles can be recycled or repurposed, reducing waste and conserving resources.

Types of Clothes / Textiles Waste

  •   Used Clothing: Garments that are no longer wearable or have been replaced with new ones.
  •   Textile Scraps: Off-cuts from the clothing manufacturing process.
  •   Industrial Textiles: Materials used in industries such as automotive or manufacturing that are no longer needed.
  •   Worn-Out Upholstery: Furniture coverings that have reached the end of their useful life.
  •   Linens and Bedding: Old sheets, towels, and other household textiles.

Importance of Clothes / Textiles Waste Management

  • Environmental Protection: Proper management reduces the impact of textiles on landfills, where they contribute to soil and water contamination.
  • Resource Conservation: Recycling textiles helps conserve natural resources, such as cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers, which require significant energy and water to produce.
  • Energy Recovery: Textile waste can be converted into energy through waste-to-energy technologies, helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
  • Waste Reduction: Reduces the amount of textiles that end up in landfills, contributing to a more sustainable, circular economy.
  • Sustainable Fashion: Promotes the reuse and upcycling of old clothes, encouraging a move toward more sustainable practices in the fashion industry.
