| Abstract |
Due to the improvements in living standards and the "throw away" culture of mankind, large amount of waste textiles is constantly generated. In particular, silk is an abundant high-grade textile material with characteristics of wear comfort, high profit, and low supply with high demand, but it transforms into waste when discarded. This paper reviews the current progress of recycling and reuse of waste silk from the aspects of energy, yarn and fabric, reinforcement of composites, silk fibroin, biological tissue engineering, filtration of air and water, and electrode. The modification, optimization and application of regenerated silk fibroin extracted from waste silk arc promising to industrialization and sustainable development. Making waste silk functional and intelligently wearable arc two ways of recycling waste silk with low cost and high return value in the near future. The recovery and utilization of waste silk provide a paradigm for valorization of other fiber-based waste such as wool, cotton, bast and synthetic fibers. |
