<strong>Improved</strong> <strong>waste</strong> <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>textiles</strong><br />
IVL report B1976<br />
1.2 The project<br />
The research project Environmentally <strong>Improved</strong> Recycling consists <strong>of</strong> four different case studies <strong>of</strong><br />
which this is one.<br />
The four case studies are:<br />
<strong>Improved</strong> <strong>waste</strong> <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>textiles</strong><br />
<strong>Improved</strong> recycling <strong>of</strong> plastics<br />
<strong>Improved</strong> recycling <strong>of</strong> asphalt<br />
<strong>Improved</strong> biological treatment and biogas production<br />
The research project aims at identifying and assessing options for improving the environmental<br />
performance <strong>of</strong> recycling processes. We also aim at identifying actions and decisions that are<br />
required to facilitate these improvements. The purpose is to stimulate environmentally improved<br />
recycling.<br />
However, in the beginning <strong>of</strong> this study it was found that little or no recycling <strong>of</strong> <strong>textiles</strong> occurs in<br />
Sweden. This called for a broader scope and this report therefore gives an overview <strong>of</strong> the entire<br />
<strong>waste</strong> <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>textiles</strong> in Sweden. It aims at identifying obstacles for an environmentally<br />
improved <strong>waste</strong> <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>textiles</strong> including not only recycling but also reuse.<br />
