Traditionally, disposal of textile products meant sending them to landfill. However, due to scarcity of land, concerns with health and pollution, and the need to conserve resources, new ways are being found for disposal. This chapter deals with the end-of-life management of textiles and clothing products and discusses approaches to the problem.
