Recyclability Potential Index (RPI): The concept and quantification of RPI for textile fibres

摘要: Abstract A focus on recycling is one of the key pillars in this environmentally conscious era. In recent times, situation forcing people to recycle everything that are produced due various factors such as present and future projections scarcity potential resources, limited landfill space, governmental policies, rewards terms monetary benefits given when they return product for recycling. Textile products, occupying a significant proportion one's daily activities almost every place, need be recycled. Many types fibres being used manufacture textile products use necessarily recycled at end their lives. The recyclability different varies from fibre another many play major role deciding recyclability. This study proposes concept Recyclability Potential Index (RPI) considering environmental economic gains process also attempts quantify ten common, widely fibres. According developed system, polyester polypropylene seem bestowed with higher nylon 66 appears have lowest RPI.
