Abstract:

In order to improve the recycling rate of waste natural fiber textiles and reduce environmental pollution and resource waste, the current recycling technologies of waste natural fiber textiles were reviewed from four perspectives,i.e. physical method, chemical method, biological method and energy method. The research progress and suitable types and grades of waste textiles for each method were analyzed. In view of the complex components of waste textiles, unclear structure-activity relationship, high recycling cost, low added value and poor consumer acceptance of recycling products, this review proposes to emphasize breakthroughs in sorting and identification technology of waste textiles, structure-activity relationship, low-cost recycling technology, high-value recycling strategy, policies and regulations on the promotion and use of recycling products in future studies, in order to promote the industrialization pace of waste natural fiber textiles.

Key words: waste textile, nature fiber, recycling technology, high-value recycling
