“…Textile recycling reuses or reprocesses used clothing, fibrous material, and clothing waste recovered from manufacturing processes [62]. It is a very important process for CE in the fashion industry and has been addressed by several studies [64][65][66][67][68][69][70].…”

Circular economy (CE) principles have gained prominence in the fashion industry since it is a highly polluting industry and requires sustainable changes. Even though there are several CE initiatives already in place within the fashion production chain, changes towards CE are still slow. This study seeks to identify the drivers, barriers, and practices that influence implementing circular economy concepts in the fashion industry production chain using a systematic literature review. The results show that some more barriers and criteria keep consumers away from circular fashion concepts than drivers. These barriers include fast fashion consumer culture, even though more consumers are environmentally conscious. This is because awareness has not reached large-scale populations, despite the world being more aware of social and environmental issues. Consumers still do not see ethical and ecological problems associated with the fashion industry and continue to be targeted for large fast fashion retailers that sell a misguided version of consumerism. This study contributes to both academia and new fashion business models that seek to become more sustainable since it presents opportunities for investments and the obstacles that must be overcome for reaching CE within this sector.

“…Although the above achievements have promoted the application and development of waste acrylic fibers in the field of energy storage, there are few reports on the direct application of waste textiles to solid electrolytes. Nevertheless, these previous reports prove that it is feasible to apply textile waste to the field of energy storage electronic devices − and show that the high-value utilization of waste textiles is possible.…”

The large amount of waste chemical fiber textiles that exists has posed pressure on the sustainable development of the natural environment and of society. Therefore, it is of great importance to increase the added value of waste chemical fiber textiles and expand their applications in other fields. Herein, acrylic yarn from waste clothing is used as the raw material to construct a three-dimensional (3D) acrylic-based ceramic composite nanofiber solid electrolyte. The electrochemical properties of batteries based on this solid electrolyte are also investigated. We found that the fabricated composite electrolyte has good performance in lithium ion conduction and electrochemical stability because of its 3D acrylic-based ceramic composite fiber framework. The introduction of this composite electrolyte to a lithium symmetric battery enabled the battery to circulate stably for 2350 h at 50 °C without short-circuiting. In addition, all-solid-state batteries using a LiFePO4 cathode exhibited high reversible capacity. Lastly, a flexible lithium metal pouch battery was able to operate safely and stably under extreme conditions. This work demonstrates a strategy for upcycling waste textiles into ion-conducting polymers for energy storage applications.
