The textile industry primarily generates polymeric waste from synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, and spandex, which are widely used due to their durability, low cost, and versatility. Among these, polyester is the most commonly used synthetic fiber, comprising approximately 60% of global textile production . It is favoured for its strength, resistance to shrinking, and ability to retain colour, making it popular in clothing, home textiles, and technical textiles. Similarly, nylon, another popular synthetic polymer, is used in products ranging from apparel to carpets and industrial fabrics due to its high strength and elasticity . Spandex is another widely used fiber, particularly in activewear and sportswear, due to its stretch ability and comfort. While these synthetic polymers offer functional benefits, they present significant environmental challenges. These fibers are non-biodegradable, meaning they can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, contributing to the growing problem of plastic pollution . When disposed of improperly, they accumulate in landfills or water bodies, where they break down into microplastics, posing serious threats to marine life and ecosystems .
