Figure 7.
A flowchart outlines the recycling process for textile waste. The first stage depicts an individual discarding textile waste into a bin, leading to the sorting and washing stage, represented in a box. Below it, a graphic of tangled threads visually conveys the sorting process. An arrow leads to the next stage labelled unravelling, also in a box, with an image underneath of unravelled threads. This stage culminates in the final output, a graphic illustrating a ball of yarn, highlighting the transformation from waste to usable product.Illustration of the individual process steps for unraveling knitted textile surfaces from the discarded textile to the yarn
