Abstract The increasing use of e‐textiles in healthcare, sports, and fashion has coined a new frontier scientific innovation. However, unique compositions embedded electronic elements these pose significant challenges for end‐of‐life management, markedly recycling sustainable design. This review explores the landscape design e‐textiles, underlining need innovative approaches to mitigate ecological economic impacts. By employing systematic approach, paper seeks provide comprehensive understanding current state smart textiles, technologies, shortcomings, identify challenges, propose future directions textile waste management. Starting with an overview textiles their growing applications, highlights importance industry address escalating e‐waste concerns. It evaluates consequences waste, underscoring urgency efficient systems. Current technologies are highlighted, alongside limitations associated material composition, inadequate separation techniques, quality degradation. Emerging such as advanced de‐embedding techniques processes, presented promising solutions overcome traditional difficulties. concept sustainability is explored, focusing on strategies enhance recyclability reduce environmental footprints. Additionally, identifies key barriers technological, economic, regulatory hurdles, proposes opportunities foster circular economy.
