Material flow analysis of textile waste streams in the Czech Republic.
 Shtukaturova, Anastasia
Volumes of textile waste have been continuously increasing over last few decades because of the overconsumption of textile products linked to low-cost fast fashion, growing population and higher living standards. Both textile industry and waste generation contribute to environmental pollution and production of greenhouse and waste gases. In 2020, the EU adopted the new Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) for the transition to the circular economy where the waste considers to be a valuable resource. Principles of the CEAP need to be implemented into the legislation of each Member state. In the Czech Republic, a new waste treatment law based on the CEAP was adopted in 2021. The new waste treatment law determines important changes for the textile waste treatment in the country. To prepare the Czech Republic for these significant changes, a material flow analysis (MFA) was created to determine the current state with textile waste streams. The results showed that the production of industrial textile waste was 70 405 tons in the year 2010 and 87 840 tons in the year 2019, so there is no big increase for this type of textile waste. The production of textile waste from households was 37 393 tons in the year 2019 and it is almost ten times higher in a comparison with the year 2010. Moreover, the analysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) samples showed that they contained about 7% of different types of used textiles which may be suitable for recycling. Obtained results confirm that the Czech Republic is not enough prepared for meeting the objectives of the CEAP in a case of textile waste because of its constantly growing volumes and lack of recycling technologies.\n\n

Analysis of textile waste streams in the Czech Republic
 Shtukaturova, Anastasia
Our results confirm that the Czech Republic is not well prepared to fulfill the ambitious goals of the CEAP in respect to textile waste because of continually growing volumes of this type of the waste and hardly available official data about its production, lack of recycling technologies and obsolete waste collection system.\n
