  5. 34. Fabric conditioning for more gentle shredding : Pre-treatment for mechanical recycling of cotton and polyester

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

    Author : Therése Sjöblom; [2018]
    Keywords : Mechanical recycling; Reclaimed fibres; Shredding; Fibre length; Ring spinning; Rotor spinning; Cotton; Polyester; Sustainable development;

    Abstract : There is a growing need for fibres with increasing population. One way to solve this is to recycle the fibres from textile waste. In mechanical recycling by shredding the textiles are shredded back to fibrous form. The biggest problem with shredding is that it is a harsh process that reduces the fibre length and damages the fibre. READ MORE
