  1. 1. Development and Optimization of Near-infrared spectroscopy

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Amanda Hahlin; [2023]
    Keywords : Near-infrared spectroscopy; NIRS; Textile sorting; Principal component analysis; PCA; Post-consumer end-of-life textiles;

    Abstract : With the growing demand for sustainable options, the existing sorting capacities are limiting the potential for fiber-to-fiber recycling. With the help of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), automated sorting of textiles with high accuracy is possible due to the easy access for polymer identification. READ MORE

  3. 2. A novel and feasible material recycling technique for end-of-life textiles as All-Cellulose Composites (ACCs)

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Belinda Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : all-cellulose composites; end-of-life textiles; denim fabrics; ionic liquid; mechanical properties; sustainability;

    Abstract : Today’s consumption of textiles generates a large volume of textile waste. Therefore, it is needed to find solutions to re-use the textile waste rather recycling fibers into new fibers. Research using pre- and post-consumer textiles in composites is ongoing and an interesting direction. READ MORE

    Keywords : Business Model Experimentation; Business Model Innovation; Circularity; Remanufacturing; Value Theory;

    Abstract : Adapting a circular system through business model experimentation can generate profit and sustainable growth for fashion firms. Business model experimentation explores novel opportunities to be at the forefront of transforming existing markets. READ MORE

  5. 4. Environmental Assessment of Textile Material Recovery Techniques : Examining Textile Flows in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Author : Lena Youhanan; [2013]
    Keywords : Recycling; recovery; textiles; fibers; cotton; polyester; Re:newcell; biogas; insulation; Sweden;

    Abstract : The production of textiles, focusing on cotton and polyester, carries with it major environmental concerns such as significant water and chemical use as well as the use of non-renewable resources. Measures need to be taken to decrease those environmental burdens. READ MORE

  6. 5. End-of-life implications of electronic textiles - Assessment of a converging technology

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Andreas Köhler; [2008]
    Keywords : Electronic textiles; end of life; LCA; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Contemporary innovation in the converging technology sectors of electronics and textile aims at augmenting functionality of textiles, making them “smart”. That is, integrating electronic functions such as sensing, data processing, and networking into wearable products. READ MORE
