The recurring theme is how engaged scholarship and practice have interacted with, modified and improved the position of informal operators and workers and contributed to positive outcomes in both service and value chains. Throughout the period covered by this retrospective, opinions and framing on all sides have shifted substantially through the years, whereas the economic activities of informal recyclers and informal waste collection service providers have remained largely unchanged.

The proper handling of healthcare waste is essential for social and environmental sustainability. Digital technologies that drive digital transformation in the healthcare sector impact the traditional way of managing healthcare waste.

This research presents a sustainable and low-cost recycling technology for conversion of post-consumer textile (denim) wastes to useful insulation materials. To accomplish the objective, nonwoven materials were produced using varying proportions of post-consumer recycled denim (r-denim) fibre and hollow polyester (PET) fibre using different punch densities in the needle punching process. Kowalski, Cornell and Vining mixture design, a special type of design of experiments, was adopted to develop the samples. Developed nonwoven materials were characterised for thermal resistance and tensile properties. The results show that nonwoven materials containing the minimum proportion (20%) of r-denim fibres exhibited the highest thermal resistance (0.131 W<sup>-1</sup>m<sup>2</sup>K). However, by adjusting the process parameter of the nonwovens, that is, the punch density, the same thermal resistance (0.131 W<sup>-1</sup>m<sup>2</sup>K) is also achieved even with 39% r-denim fibres. Additionally, the nonwovens produced from this blend proportion (r-denim:PET = 39:61) demonstrate a reasonable strength of 2.43 cN/tex. Environmental benefits of the developed r-denim/PET nonwovens have been evaluated by the life cycle assessment approach. Results show that the use of ~40% r-denim fibre has reduced the environmental burden significantly. Therefore, the nonwoven materials produced from post-consumer textile wastes hold tremendous potential as an alternative to synthetic fibres in thermal insulation applications. This recycling approach has immense potential to contribute to the efficient utilisation of post-consumer textile waste materials paving the way for environmental sustainability.</p>","PeriodicalId":23671,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management & Research","volume":" ","pages":"749-761"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142354999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
