“…From this research follow the textile powder adding practically has not influencing on the gross energetic value. The net LHV is depending on water content in specimens [33], represents correlation between moisture content and LHV, what shown in Table 3. The most higher 17.23 MJ/kg value of the LHV shown the 3rd specimen (90% pinewood chips, 5% of cotton powder, 5% of PES powder), as the optimal result of the content of additives for this particular study, despite on the middle ash content 0.71% (with comparison among of all five specimens).…”

“…The low heating value (LHV) or net heating value is the energy value of fuel combustion, obtained depending on the actual composition of the pellet material and its moisture content. The high heating value (HHV) or gross energetic value depends on fuels composition where humidity not included in calculation [33] and gross energetic value of each type of material is determined according to the tables with the standard LVS EN ISO 18125. The comparative analysis between the HHV and LHV is representing in very less difference between energetic values of the specimens, that are: 1.3% for 1st and 2nd specimens, and 1.17-1.25% for 3rd, 4th and 5th specimens.…”

The efficient waste management hierarchy is based on four priorities, reuse, recycle, energy recovery, deposit.Efficient energy recovery from non-recyclable textile materials (waste to energy) principles we study in this paper. Energy recovery from the fuel pellets consisting of waste textile materials and biomass depends on many factors. One of the main is to create a competitive form for the newly offered fuel (pellets from a mixture of biomass and textile), as well using a new generation of small-scale energy production facilities. Using already existing applications for efficient waste management is one of the circular economy aspects we lay on in this paper.Roughly estimated that the quantities of textiles separately collected will increased from 65 000 to 90 000 tons per year across the EU-27 from 2025. Reuse and recycling outlets will need to be created, as the current sorting and recycling capacities are not sufficient to process the anticipated volumes. However, it is also expected that at least half of these additional volumes will comprise non-reusable textile waste with specific flame retardant (FR) treatment. It is known that flame retardant is hazard by its adverse environmental impacts of FRs in their production and disposal phases.The objective of the paper is to review opportunities of elaboration a new type of the fuel pellets, and using them in industrial heat pellet boilers and combined heat and power CHP systems.Elaborated the new pellets from biomass (prepared by plasticization method) and chopped textile waste sized till 2-3 mm (by method separative milling) were tested in controlled combustion processes.Experiments were carried out by adding different proportions of textile waste to biomass pellets and the results obtained are summarized in the article

“…However, the diversification of low environmental impact textile fibres is a key issue to replace synthetic fibres. The most used vegetable textile fibres (VTF) are cotton, flax, hemp and jute [ [5] , [6] , [7] ]. Some banana, sisal, pineapple and coconut fibres are also used.…”

“…The dissolution of lignin is even more efficient when the NaOH solution is heated to a temperature above 75 °C [ 12 , 14 , 15 ]. This seems to be an interesting solution to produce spinnable and much less stiff textile fibres [ 5 ]. Among other things, extraction is considered efficient when significant removal of non-cellulosic material occurs without significant degradation of cellulose.…”

This review aims to provide a detailed analysis of the synthesis methods, properties, and applications of natural fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites, highlighting their potential as sustainable materials for various industries. The objective of the study is to examine how different natural fibers such as jute, flax, hemp, and sisal impact the mechanical performance of epoxy composites. The synthesis of these composites involves fiber selection, surface treatments, and epoxy matrix formulation, with processing techniques like hand lay‐up, vacuum infusion, and compression molding playing critical roles. Quantitative results show that tensile strengths of these fibers range from 12 MPa (abaca) to 1627 MPa (pineapple), and densities range from 295 kg/m3 (kenaf) to 1560 kg/m3 (pineapple), reflecting their variability and influence on composite performance. The review finds that fiber‐matrix compatibility, fiber orientation, and interfacial adhesion significantly affect the mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and thermal stability. The composites demonstrate potential applications in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries, where they can be used for interior components, structural elements, and non‐load‐bearing parts. The study concludes that natural fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites offer a promising solution for reducing environmental impact while maintaining material performance in various structural applications.Highlights Epoxy‐reinforced natural fiber composites synthesis and applications. Synthesis involves fiber selection, treatment, and epoxy matrix formulation. Natural fibers like jute, flax, hemp, and sisal used due to their renewable nature and biodegradability. Applications include automotive and furniture industries.
