Summary

This systematic review evaluated the use of textile waste in civil construction materials, finding that recycled textile fibers can improve the mechanical properties of composites like concrete and mortar. Repurposing textile waste into construction materials could help reduce the volume of synthetic fibers that otherwise degrade into microplastics in the environment.

Study Type Review

This work is a systematic review based on the PRISMA protocol, used to evaluate the use of polymeric materials with textile waste in civil construction. The research was conducted using a search strategy across three databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect), with a focus on studies published within the last 5 years. The keywords used in these searches were: “Composites AND Architecture AND textile waste.” Subsequently, screening and exclusion criteria were established and applied to the group of articles to organize and select the most relevant ones according to the theme. At the end of the analysis of the selected articles, a comparison was made regarding the uses and trends of recycled textile material as a basis for new technologies aimed at greater sustainability in civil construction.
