Figure 6.
Flowchart illustrating the recycling process of textile waste, showing steps from sorting to different chemical reactions leading to fibers and monomers.The flowchart outlines the process of recycling textile waste, starting with sorting and cutting. It includes a pretreatment stage followed by drying. Various reactions are indicated, specifically glycolysis, hydrolysis, ammoniolysis, and methanolysis, each linking to outcomes such as reusable fibres and monomers. A visual legend on the left defines terms like glycolysis and ionic liquids, aiding in understanding the process flow and the specific chemical reactions involved.
