Abstract

The textile industry is confronted with several types of waste. Regarding this problem, waste towels made of 100 % cotton and waste shirts made of 60:40 % cotton/PES way the possibility of converting cotton and cotton-polyester blends waste into regenerated fibers was estimated. Preparation of viscose under laboratory conditions at the selected viscosity of the spinning solution was possible even if the input raw material was cotton shirts in combination with polyester which is not the case with cupro.
