The consumerism in the textile sector also causes an increase in textile waste. Compared to other wastes, most of the clothing and textile waste can be recycled. In addition to producing new clothes, rugs and cleaning cloth, insulation and filling materials, tar paper and panels are also used in the utilization of these wastes.
