| Abstract | In the textile industry, different recycling proces s are available to treat wastes. To help manufacturers to choose the most re levant solutions for their products, the Life Cycle Assessment tool can be use d. First, we study the recycling of short fibres for cotton bed sheets. Th e study shows that the recycling of short fibres in a carded process significantly r educes some impacts such as the water consumption and eutrophication potential. The n, three recycling processes are compared for the treatment of post-consumer pol yester trousers: the chemical recycling, the mechanical recycling and the energy recovery approach. In this case, the Life Cycle Assessment is used both to com pare the processes and to study the influence of the following parameters: co nsideration of waste collection, the choice of substituted virgin products and the l ocation of the recycling step. |
