Figure 5.
A flow diagram illustrating textile waste processing steps, including sorting, cutting, shredding, carding, melting, and spinning, with pathways for mechanical and thermomechanical recycling indicated.The diagram presents the processing steps for textile waste. It begins with sorting followed by cutting, shredding, carding, and continues to melting, leading to either spinning or resulting in short fibres. The flow indicates two recycling pathways, a solid line for mechanical recycling and a dashed line for thermomechanical recycling. At the beginning, there is an icon showing a person handling textile waste, and at the end, there are icons representing short fibres and continuous filament, providing visual context for the output of the process.
