Abstract In modern societies, especially in developed countries, textile waste management has become a critical issue due to overconsumption and throw-away culture. This case study aims develop comprehensive quantitative energy demand carbon footprint analysis model using CCalC2 software identify the most sustainable end-of-life practices for Australia, second-largest consumers of products. Results this showed that chemical recycling is best option from standpoint saving pulp production recycled material, while it carbon-intensive process (6401 kg CO 2 eq/1000 kg). The mechanical estimated emit around 5368 — low emitting process. Surprisingly, emissions incineration (e.g., 5897 kg) similar trend recycling, could only be pursued if (thermal) recovery electricity were considered. highlights requirement provides valuable insights policymakers industry stakeholders future policy planning technology selection with improved (secondary) material recovery.
