- The applications of fibers belong to one of three broad categories:
apparel, home furnishings, and industrial
- Much of the fibrous waste is composed of synthetic and natural
materials such as polypropylene, nylon, polyester and cotton.
- Nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 account for 65% of the face fiber used in
carpet
- The complexities involved are to be considered in the
logistics of carpet and other wastes collection and transport to the
recycling facilities
- The many collection schemes and recycling
technologies should work in a concerted fashion to have an impact on
waste recycling
- Recycled nylon comes from
post‐industrial waste fiber and
yarn collected from spinning and
processed into reusable nylon fiber. -
The benefits of recycling nylon come
from the reduced energy needed
to produce the final fiber, reduced dependence on oil, and the
diversion of waste from landfills. -
The final product can be recycled
again at the end of its life. |
