VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is currently developing methods for handling large quantities of textile waste material. New and efficient methods will be able to recover cellulose molecules, providing one way of resolving the limitations soon to be placed on the use of landfill sites. Such methods will also serve to promote the efficient use of materials. The liquefying of textile waste offers the opportunity to return large volumes of waste to textile production.
