“…TW short fibers from clothing waste were provided by Triturats La Canya S.A. (Girona, Spain) and consisted of almost 31% polyester and 69% cotton, two prevailing types of fiber in the global market. As reported in [61], the water retention value and moisture content of the fiber were 85 and 7%, respectively. Furthermore, the majority of these short fibers had a diameter ranging from 3.6 to 32.1 µm, while the rest was a mix of yarns and fabrics.…”

“…In view of the abovementioned, two experimental programs were carried out to evaluate the properties of engineered TW-reinforced cement composites. One involved the use of a fraction of short randomly dispersed TW fiber in contents ranging from 6 to 10% by weight in cement [61], while the other was focused on textile lamination of nonwoven fabrics, ranging from 3 to 7 layers of this fiber [62]. The goal of this scientific contribution is to analyze and compare the results obtained from these experimental programs-including flexural resistance in pre-and post-crack, toughness, stiffness, durability, and shrinkage-to identify the most suitable composite for potential application in building construction.…”

Currently, millions of tons of textile waste from the garment and textile industries are generated worldwide each year. As a promising option in terms of sustainability, textile waste fibers could be used as internal reinforcement of cement-based composites by enhancing ductility and decreasing crack propagation. To this end, two extensive experimental programs were carried out, involving the use of either fractions of short random fibers at 6–10% by weight or nonwoven fabrics in 3–7 laminate layers in the textile waste-reinforcement of cement, and the mechanical and durability properties of the resulting composites were characterized. Flexural resistance in pre- and post-crack, toughness, and stiffness of the resulting composites were assessed in addition to unrestrained drying shrinkage testing. The results obtained from those programs were analyzed and compared to identify the optimal composite and potential applications. Based on the results of experimental analysis, the feasibility of using this textile waste composite as a potential construction material in nonstructural concrete structures such as facade cladding, raised floors, and pavements was confirmed. The optimal composite was proven to be the one reinforced with six layers of nonwoven fabric, with a flexural strength of 15.5 MPa and a toughness of 9.7 kJ/m2.

“…The strength of cotton fibre-reinforced soil was found to increase compared with unreinforced soil [75]. Sadrolodabaeea, Claramunt [76] fabricated composite materials from short fibre textile materials from cotton wastes for building insulations. The compressive strength, stiffness, and durability properties were found to enhance the composite.…”

The exponential increase in textile cotton wastes generation and the ineffective processing mechanism to mitigate its environmental impact by developing functional materials with unique properties for geotechnical applications, wastewater, packaging, and biomedical engineering have become emerging global concerns among researchers. A comprehensive study of a processed cotton fibres isolation technique and their applications are highlighted in this review. Surface modification of cotton wastes fibre increases the adsorption of dyes and heavy metals removal from wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have demonstrated high adsorption capacity for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have found remarkable application in slope amendments, reinforcement of expansive soils and building materials, and a proven source for isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Several research work on the use of cotton waste for functional application rather than disposal has been done. However, no review study has discussed the potentials of cotton wastes from source (Micro-Nano) to application. This review critically analyses novel isolation techniques of CNC from cotton wastes with an in-depth study of a parameter variation effect on their yield. Different pretreatment techniques and efficiency were discussed. From the analysis, chemical pretreatment is considered the most efficient extraction of CNCs from cotton wastes. The pretreatment strategies can suffer variation in process conditions, resulting in distortion in the extracted cellulose’s crystallinity. Acid hydrolysis using sulfuric acid is the most used extraction process for cotton wastes-based CNC. A combined pretreatment process, such as sonication and hydrolysis, increases the crystallinity of cotton-based CNCs. The improvement of the reinforced matrix interface of textile fibres is required for improved packaging and biomedical applications for the sustainability of cotton-based CNCs.

“…Moreover, the industry contributes to environmental concerns such as eco-system deprivation, and water, air and soil contamination [1]. Concrete is an extensively used material in construction, and it plays a critical part in ensuring the global population's health and safety, being the second most used resource after water [52,53]. Indeed, when appropriately prepared, concrete exhibits remarkable MPs and durability properties, making it an admirably engineered material [54].…”

A Comprehensive Review on the Utilization of Recycled Waste Fibers in Cement-Based Composites

Ecological problems such as natural resource depletion and massive quantities of waste for disposal are now guiding progressive civilization towards sustainable construction. The reduction of natural resources and the discarding of debris into open landfills are the two main environmental concerns. As a result, managing these solid wastes is a major challenge worldwide. In comparison to disposal, insufficient landfills, ecological degradation and the economic load on the relevant agencies, recycling and reusing waste materials have a considerable influence. Waste fiber has been studied for use as a cement-based composite (CBC) ingredient. Recycling waste fibers not only makes the cement composite more cost-effective and long-lasting but also helps to reduce pollution. Plastics, carpets and steels are among the various types of waste fibers reviewed in this study for their applications in cement-based materials. The mechanical properties of CBCs with different kinds of recycled-waste fibers were explored, including their compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strength and durability properties. The use of recycled fibers in the construction industry can help to ensure sustainability from environmental, economic and social standpoints. As a result, additional scientific research is needed, as well as guidance for more researchers and experts in the construction sector to examine the unknown sustainability paths. The barriers to the effective implementation of waste fiber recycling techniques in the construction sector were reviewed, and various solutions were proposed to stimulate and ensure their use in CBCs. It was concluded that CBCs containing recycled fibers provide a long-term and cost-effective alternative for dealing with waste materials.
