Summary

This review examines how pre- and post-consumer textile waste can be used as a feedstock for bioethanol production, offering a way to divert growing volumes of fabric waste from landfills and incineration. Converting textile cellulose into ethanol through pre-treatment and fermentation processes could reduce both textile waste and fossil fuel dependence.

Today, the growth in textile consumption is influenced by the increasing population. This leads to the generation of a large volume of textile waste, which has a negative impact on the environment. Textile waste is mainly disposed of by landfill or incineration. To reduce the amount of textile waste disposed of, it can be recovered and transformed into valuable compounds, such as ethanol (bioethanol). This article describes how pre- and post-consumer textile waste is used as a feedstock for ethanol.
