Environmentally-friendly thermal and acoustic insulation materials from recycled textiles

Islam, Shafiqul, Bhat, Gajanan·2019·Journal of Environmental Management

Abstract

Continuing increase in energy consumption and environmental pollution are some of the main challenges of the 21st century. One of the approaches to overcome these challenges is to increase the use of recycled materials and environmentally-friendly approaches to manufacturing. Thermal and acoustic insulation in buildings and transport vehicles from recycled textiles can play an important role in energy savings and reduction of environmental pollution. Textiles contribute a significant amount to the waste stream since most of these valuable fiber products are discarded after use. These discarded but valuable textiles can be recycled to produce several products including thermal and acoustic insulation materials. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the current state of textile waste generation and its environmental effects, and present progress of using industrial and post-consumer recycled textiles in insulation materials is provided. Mechanism of acoustic and thermal insulation materials of textile fibers are also reviewed. Existing research of some textile waste used as building insulation materials, method of conversion of textile waste into building insulation materials, comparative analysis of different insulation materials and life cycle assessment of textile fibers are assessed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
