Sustainable non-woven insulation made from UK fashion textile waste

全球每年约有1430万吨纺织废料被送往垃圾填埋场。这几乎是所有垃圾填埋场空间的5%。在2019年的WRAP报告中，该组织估计英国有35万吨衣服被扔进垃圾填埋场，这相当于每人每年扔掉超过5公斤的衣服。我们的项目建议使用废弃的纺织服装，通过使用完全可持续的天然粘合剂，为高性能外衣等应用创造纤维绝缘。

Globally around 14.3 million tons of textile waste is sent to landfill each year. This is nearly 5% of all landfill space. In the 2019 WRAP report, it estimates 350,000 tons of clothing goes into landfill in the UK which is the same as each person throwing away more than 5 kg of their clothing per year. Our project proposes to use waste textile garments to create fibrous insulation for applications like high performance outerwear by utilising a fully sustainable natural binder.
