Abstract The global textile industry generates substantial waste across production, pre-consumer, and post-consumer stages, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, resource depletion, and pollution. Transitioning to a circular economy (CE) offers a pathway to mitigate these impacts by closing material loops, extending product lifespans, and promoting resource recovery. This study synthesises recent literature to examine waste …
