Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to survey first the sources, quantities and types of textile wastes produced in Egypt; secondly to find the suitable technology for recycling these wastes and converting it to fibres, and thirdly to select the suitable technology for producing nonwoven fabric according to the properties of resulted fibres. The rag waste has been opened using "CGC" processes to be used in the production of shade and soil felts for agriculture; filter felts for dust col lector and water for civil engineering; as a building insulation material; a externally reinforced for concrete beams against impact loadings; and producing a shoulder pads and interlining paddings for garment industry. In this way, we shall help to place nonwoven fabrics out of textile waste on a firm basis of physical engineering design. It is clear that recycling of textile wastes will be held also in the field of environmental protection.
