Recycling of Spandex: Broadening the Way for a Complete Cycle of Textile Waste

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(8), P. 3319 - 3319

Published: April 8, 2025

With the continuous growth of global textile and apparel industry, coupled with increasing demand for comfort in clothing, use spandex blended fabrics has become increasingly widespread. Spandex, a high-elasticity synthetic fiber, is extensively applied medical products. However, due to its typically low content textiles complex blending other fibers, recycling process becomes significantly more challenging. This review focuses on utilization waste fabrics, analyzing importance recovery from fabrics. It provides an overview existing technologies textiles, discussing advantages disadvantages physical, chemical, combined methods. emphasizes that physical dissolution method, simplicity, efficiency, cost, currently preferred strategy spandex-blended Finally, this outlines pathways reusing after dissolution, offering new insights enhancing added value regenerated materials promoting green
