Theme of Symposium

Textile and fibrous waste have become an increasing concern both from environmental points of view and increasing unavailability of suitable dumping grounds. Recycling is still in its infancy and much of what could be recycled or diverted into alternative applications remain unexplored or, as yet, unattractive. The objective of this Symposium is to build on the last two symposiums by providing a dynamic forum for exchange of ideas, showcasing industrial developments, exploring latest research findings and generating international cooperation and dialogue in the fibre recycling arena.
