This is fascinating! India has been inspirational as far as using worms to deal with all sorts of environmental problems. They also have a program that has been using large quantities of red worms to clean up toxic waste sites. Within a couple of years, the sites are clean enough to grow food on. Amazing!

So it sounds like composting is only an option before the textiles are treated to become clothes, by adding dyes and other chemicals as mentioned by Navnath. Still pretty cool though.

Hi,
I am also working on recycling of textile waste.
We at our laboratories have successfully converted textile polyester waste (apparel, industrial) into textile utility chemicals such as softeners, dyes, pigments, etc.
The results are very promising..
