Biodegradable fibers have the advantage of sustainable development from the source. Realizing the sustainable development of the whole life cycle of clothing is the future trend. Nowadays, with increasingly high requirements for an ecological environment, the development of biodegradable fiber will become the mainstream of fiber research and development. However, there are many barriers preventing the total degradation of biodegradable fabrics. This paper explores recycling barriers of biodegradable textiles in the clothing industry, discusses the recycling barriers from four aspects: technical, economic, environmental and social, and analyzes the development direction of biodegradable fabric recycling in the future and puts forward some suggestions, including developing advanced biodegradable fabric recycling technologies; creating economic models conducive to recycling; providing suitable degradation sites; strengthening institutional cooperation and improving consumer recycling behavior. This paper is conducive to promoting the development and application of biodegradable textile in clothing industry, and proposes further research for the widespread and high-quality use of biodegradable fabrics.

“…Enzymes can be used to depolymerize end-of-life textiles into their monomeric building blocks, which can be used in the production of value-added products such as sugars (glucose) and bioethanol. 147,148 The advantage of biological processes is that they typically have a low energy demand, use benign solvents and chemicals, and are based on renewables rather than fossil carbon. Furthermore, this process is highly selective, making them a good option for separating blended textile waste.…”

The fast fashion trends in the textile industry have resulted in high consumption of fiber with concomitant generation of waste. Awareness of environmental pollution resulting from textile production and disposal has increased significantly. This increase has pushed research activities toward more sustainable recycling alternatives to properly handle the end-of-life of textiles. This review provides an overview of existing technologies, the latest developments, and research studies on the recycling technologies employed in the textile industry. Different types of recycling—mechanical, chemical, and biochemical recycling of standard fabrics used in garments, cotton, wool, polyester, polyamide 6 6, and acrylic—are explored. Recent advances in recycling technologies such as advanced sorting techniques, innovative chemical processing, and emerging biochemical processes are revealed. The review also highlights efforts being made by various agencies and companies in facilitating and employing the technologies on a commercial scale. Various methods for efficient textile waste sorting and identification are also discussed. The reviewed studies revealed that most recycling technologies were conducted on post-industrial textile waste, which tends to be homogenous in the types of dyes and fibers present in the waste. It also suggested that post-consumer textiles could be recycled using chemical and biological options that have the potential to valorize the waste into high-value products.

“…The biodestruction of wool is caused by both bacteria and mushrooms [8]. However, the latter play a dual role in the biodestruction of wool: firstly, using grease-sweat as a nutrient medium, they create conditions for further bacterial activity; secondly, some mushrooms, due to the growth of mycelial hyphae, can mechanically destroy the fiber structure [9].…”

Microbiological destruction of fibers is a common damage to sheep’s wool. Considering the defining role of internal lipids in the formation of wool fibers surface the aim of the work was to study the structure and lipid composition of the normal and damaged wool. The research was carried out on ewes of the Askanian fine-wool breed. The content of microorganisms was estimated after sowing on dense nutrient environments. Wool fibers surface was studied by scanning electron microscopy, the content of internal lipids by thin layer chromatography after preliminary alkaline hydrolysis of the fiber, and fatty acids composition by gas-liquid chromatography. Biodestructed wool was shown to contain almost three times more bacteria, as well as higher levels of actinomycetes and mushrooms compared to intact wool. The violation of the cuticular layer was detected as the result of the fleece microflora activity. In a defective wool the content of the free internal lipids and non-esterified fatty acids was increased while the content of protein-bound lipids and esterified cholesterol as well as of ceramides was decreased as compared to normal wool. The level of 18-methyleicosanoic acid in the protein-bound lipids of damaged wool was decreased, indicating the destruction of the thioester bonds by which structural lipids are covalently linked to proteins through 18-methyleicosanoic acid. Keywords: 18-methyleicosanoic acid, biodestruction, fatty acids, internal lipids, microorganisms, protein-bound lipids, sheep’s wool fiber
