💨 Abstract

The apparel industry, responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions, primarily consists of clothes, household textiles, and shoes. Despite 14.8 kg per person being consumed annually in the EU, only 1% is recycled. Exported textiles often end up as waste, causing environmental harm. Recycling methods are developing but remain commercially unviable without government support.
