Energy Recovery from Textile Waste
topic
Textile waste pressed into briquettes (600–1,200 kg/m³) has a heating value of approximately 4 kWh/kg, compared to about 12 kWh/kg for heating oil. Waste can be composted or burned. When formed into bales or briquettes, handling and transport are simplified, and the waste becomes a usable energy source rather than a disposal problem.
Role
Energy recovery from non-recyclable textile waste addresses both disposal costs and energy costs, particularly relevant for waste that has been through recycling and contains primarily contaminants with minimal recoverable fibre content.
