| Abstract: | The global textile and apparel industry generates approximately 92 million tons of waste annually, positioning it as one of the most environmentally damaging industries worldwide. This review study comprehensively examines the multidimensional challenge of textile waste and explores sustainable pathways toward circular fashion economies. Drawing from over 80 peer-reviewed studies, industry reports, and life cycle assessments published between 2010 and 2025, the study systematically evaluates the sources, classifications, and environmental impacts of textile waste at the pre-consumer and post-consumer stages. Key circular economy strategies, including mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, upcycling, fiber-to-fibre regeneration, extended producer responsibility (EPR) frameworks, and digital traceability technologies, are critically reviewed. The review highlights significant advances in enzymatic and solvent-based textile deconstruction, smart sorting via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), and blockchain-enabled material tracking. Policy developments, particularly the European Union's Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles (2022) and the revision of the Waste Framework Directive, are contextualized within global governance landscapes. Challenges including fiber blends, microplastic release, consumer behavior, and economic viability are discussed. The study concludes that transitioning from a linear take-make-dispose model to a truly circular fashion system demands integrated technological innovation, regulatory coherence, and transformative business models. This review provides researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners with a structured evidence base to inform strategic decision-making. |
