Conventionally, old textiles are recycled again to fit into some household activities as a mop or wash cloth, but with the current invasion of disposable textiles, the use and throw approach is quite popular so old textiles are thrown away.

Post-consumer textile waste: These are household articles or garments that the owner does not require any more and discards. Synthetic textiles can be upcycled into composites and building blocks to be used in construction or sound proofing applications. The fabrics that are made from 100 per cent degradable material like cotton, linen, silk, hemp are recycled into a compost, or upcycled into a value-added product. On an average, about 15 per cent of fabric used in garment production is cut, discarded and wasted. It includes scraps, damaged or defective material samples, fabric selvages and leftover fabric from the cutting process.

Pre-consumer textiles waste: It is also called production waste and is generated from the first phase of the supply chain.
