Apparel industry industries

Most of the textured apparel and industrial yams are woven or knitted directly into fabric. The carpet BCF yams can be tufted directly off package into loop pile or velvet constmctions. For the textured saxony constmctions, the BCF and the spun staple yams must be ply-twisted and heat-set. The heat-setting temperature for nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 is 180—220°C in hot—dry atmosphere, and 120—140°C in saturated steam. The yams are twist-set in pressurized autoclaves or continuously on the Superba and Suesson machines (121). Before setting the twist, the yam is heated and relaxed for predevelopment of the bulk.

The recycling of the waste in examples 1 and 2 above can be viewed as OLR when the textile waste is used as material in other product systems. When examples 1 and 2 are recycled for use within the apparel industry, this is CLR addressed in greater detail in Section 6.4. 

There are a number of ways to define CLR practices in the apparel industry. This section describes three recycling apparel textile waste (pre- or post-consumer) in order for it to re-enter the apparel supply chain cradle-to-cradle (C2C) streams of biological and technical materials and reuse of existing garments. 

There has been considerable success with OLR in utilising the textile waste from apparel in other product systems, such as into building insulation. Similarly, in the specific case of PET bottles, the apparel industry has had success in integrating waste from another product system, the beverage industry, into textiles. 

The textile and apparel industry has been causing a number of different environmental problems like polluted air, land and water through the release of both toxic and hazardous waste. Moreover, a large amount of water, energy and other valuable resources are consumed during the production process. For conventional cotton cultivation, about 18 g pesticides are used per kg of cotton. A study showed that 1 kg of polyester fibres consume around 97.4 MJ of energy and 17.2 kg of water with 2.31 kg of CO2, 18.2 g of carbon monoxide, 39.5 g of CH emissions to air and...
