Textile companies’ waste management : An investigation of swedish textile companies’ challenges and strategies in managing textile waste (English)
Abstract [sv]

Textilindustrin utgör en betydande resursförbrukning och genererar omfattande mängder avfall genom hela värdekedjan. Denna studie har genomfört litteratursökning och en enkätundersökning, för att analysera textilindustrins avfallshantering och de utmaningar som uppstår med EU-kommissionens förslag om ökat producentansvar och avfallskrav. Resultaten belyser textilföretagens utmaningar, inklusive administrativa och ekonomiska belastningar, infrastrukturproblem, materialåtervinningens komplexitet samt osäkerhet kring producentansvar. Studien har identifierat de övergripande strategier som svenska textilföretag använder för att hantera avfall, såsom materialbesparande tekniker, återanvändning av förpackningar och samarbete med leverantörer. Trots dessa insatser kvarstår tekniska och ekonomiska hinder. Studien föreslår förbättringar genom investeringar i infrastruktur, utveckling av innovativa tekniker såsom, samt ekonomiska incitament för att stödja hållbara processer.

Abstract [en]

The textile industry is a significant consumer of resources and generates substantial amounts of waste throughout the entire value chain. This study conducted a comprehensive literature review and survey to analyze the waste management practices in the textile industry and the challenges posed by the EU Commission's proposals for increased producer responsibility and waste regulations. The results highlight the challenges faced by textile companies, including administrative and economic burdens, infrastructure issues, the complexity of material recycling, and uncertainty regarding producer responsibility. The study identifies the strategies used by Swedish textile companies to manage waste, such as material-saving techniques, reuse of packaging, and collaboration with suppliers and manufacturers. Despite these efforts, technical and economic barriers remain. The study suggests improvements through investments in infrastructure, the development of innovative technologies, and economic incentives to support sustainable processes.
