Key Trends in the Market

Textile recycling refers to the process of recovering fibre, yarn, or fabric and converting the material into new and useful products. Textiles can be either reused or recycled mechanically or chemically. Textile waste can be bifurcated into pre-consumer and post-consumer waste.

 

  • The United States textile recycling market growth can be attributed to factors such as corporate social responsibility (CSR), stringent government policies, adoption of environment friendly alternatives, and advancements in technologies. Fashion brands are utilising CSR practices to reduce the negative environmental impact of their products.
  • There are different contributors to the municipal solid waste (MSW), with primary source being discarded clothing, although minor sources also include furniture, carpets, sheets, and towels, among others. As buyers are becoming more environmentally amiable, the adoption of textile recycling increases.
  • There are several agencies in the United States working towards the same goal, to achieve a sustainable and greener environment. United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is one such agency which aims to protect human health and environment. The agency works to achieve its aim through development and enforcement of regulations and by providing grants to state environmental programmes, non-profits, and educational institutions, among others, for textile recycling.

United States Textile Recycling Market Share by Waste Type

Post consumer waste is anticipated to account for a significant share of the market over the forecast period. Post consumer waste can be described as textile garments and household articles that have been disposed of by their owners. These articles are generally discarded because they are damaged, worn out, or outdated. These wastes are easily available through various channels including waste bins, donation centres, cloth collection derives, and thrift stores, among others. The rising environmental consciousness among the regional population is bolstering the adoption of recycling of post consumer wastes and propelling the United States textile recycling market demand.

 

Market Share by Material

One of the advantages of recycling cotton is that pure recycled cotton is biodegradable, which eradicates concerns about  long-term impacts on the environment, as compared to recycled polyester. When cotton is recycled, it decreases the demand for new cotton production, aiding the conservation of natural resources like water, land, and energy.

 

Cotton is a widely used textile that is ample in nature. It has always been a staple fabric choice for both conventional and contemporary fashion industry. Cotton is eminent due to numerous benefits such as comfort provision and sustainable nature, among others.

 

As per the United States textile recycling market analysis, the country is rapidly adopting initiatives that would help minimise the repercussions of textile wastes. These initiatives include organisation of clothing drive where clothes that are no longer used will be sent to developing nations for re-sale and remaining will be repurposed by converting them into materials such as car seat stuffing and insulation.

 

Competitive Landscape

Ambercycle, Inc., was founded in 2015, a material science company which aims to change humanity's relationship with materials, initiating with fashion. They believe textiles should be completely regenerative, the way any other basic materials are in nature. Cycora is a high-quality regenerated polyester, that is company’s first product that offers the same vigour and versatility as virgin polyester, at less than half the CO2 emissions linked with petroleum-based fibers.

 

Protein Evolution, Inc., is USA’s first biological recycling company which was founded in 2021. In 2023 the company entered a groundbreaking research & development collaboration with iconic fashion brand Stella McCartney, a joint effort to support the future of sustainable fashion. The company’s technology helps engineer enzymes to convert textile into valuable chemical building blocks that are used to create new textile.

 

American-Recyclers was founded in 1998 with the aim to recycle pre-owned textile materials comprising clothing, shoes, accessories, and household linens. The company achieves this by collecting pre-owned items through their collection boxes (recycling bins) in local communities. These recycling bins can be found in different U.S. States such as Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and multiple cities in Texas.

 

Other major players in the United States textile recycling market are Unifi, Inc, Circ LLC, Natural Fiber Welding, Inc., Lenzing AG, Evrnu Inc., For Days, Inc., and Martex Fiber, among others.
