Metal Contamination in Recycled Textile Fibres
topic
Heavy metal profiling of mechanically and chemically recycled textile fibres by ICP-MS quantifies the accumulation of dye mordants, flame retardant synergists, and pigment metals across recycling cycles, assessing whether concentration factors in recycled fibre exceed virgin fibre limits set by OEKO-TEX and REACH for skin-contact applications.
Role
Addresses the circular economy challenge of metal accumulation in recycled textile streams, providing the analytical data necessary to establish safe recycling cascade pathways and maximum acceptable contamination thresholds for recycled content in consumer textile products.
