Textile recycling is a vital frontier for a more sustainable world. Clothing alone accounts for around 10 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, and much of the pre- and post-consumer waste generated by the textile industry ends up incinerated or in landfill.As part of its ESG Environment Social Governance (ESG) program, ANDRITZ is at the core of the movement to provide industrially and economically viable solutions for recycling pre- and post-consumer textile waste made from natural and synthetic fibers. The portfolio covers several segments in the textile industry value chain from textile fiber preparation, mechanical recycling by means of tearing to chemical modification to the production of yarn.
