Chemical Valorization of Textile Waste: Advancing Sustainable Recycling for a Circular Economy.
Review in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As textile production continues to grow worldwide, managing the mounting waste generated by this industry is becoming an urgent environmental concern. Globally, over 92 million tons of textile waste are produced annually, much of which is incinerated or disposed of in landfills, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, soil and water contamination, and ecosystem harm. This review explores how chemical and biotechnological methods, such as acid hydrolysis (achieving up to 70% glucose recovery) and enzymatic recycling (reducing energy consumption by approximately 20% compared to conventional methods), can transform textile waste into valuable resources, fostering a shift toward a circular economy that minimizes reliance on virgin materials. However, the diverse nature of textile waste-particularly in mixed fibers and materials treated with various finishes and additives-adds complexity to recycling processes, often necessitating specific pretreatment steps to ensure both efficiency and economic viability. Scalable solutions such as advanced solvent recovery systems, optimized pretreatment techniques, and fluidized-bed pyrolysis (which can increase bio-oil yields by up to 25% compared to fixed-bed reactors) play crucial roles in making textile recycling more sustainable and adaptable at an industrial scale. By addressing these technical and financial challenges, the industry can improve the efficiency and sustainability of textile recycling practices, reducing waste and contributing to environmental resilience. This review also suggests several future directions to enhance scalability and compatibility with environmental goals, highlighting the potential for these technologies to create valuable secondary materials and support greener practices in textile waste management. Through continued innovation and a commitment to sustainable practices, the textile industry can better balance resource recovery with economic feasibility, unlocking substantial opportunities to mitigate environmental impact and support a more resource-efficient, sustainable future.
