Abstract
In modern society, clothing waste made from mixed materials is being generated, contributing to environmental pollution due to limitations in recycling and reusing such mixed materials. Through our study, we confirmed that the use of biodegradable fibers can assist in addressing the challenges of waste management and recycling. Biodegradable fibers, compared to non-biodegradable materials, exhibit the potential for environmentally friendly circulation through natural decomposition processes. Particularly, biobased materials demonstrate notably high decomposition rates in composting processes. The utilization of fibers possessing post-disposal biodegradability emerges as a potential solution to complement clothing waste management practices.
