Textile waste

"Textile waste" as a book category covers the lifecycle and afterlife of fabrics and clothing—examining how garments and textile byproducts are produced, disposed of, recycled, repurposed or landfilled—and the environmental, social and economic consequences of those processes. Titles in this category range from investigative journalism and policy analysis of fast fashion, supply chains and landfill impacts, to practical guides on repair, upcycling and zero‑waste sewing, to technical treatments of recycling technologies and circular‑economy design. The category also includes creative and craft-focused books that transform discarded textiles into art or functional objects, as well as histories and memoirs that trace cultural attitudes toward clothing and waste. Overall it serves readers interested in sustainability, design, environmental science, public policy, activism and hands‑on solutions for reducing the textile industry’s footprint.
