Despite a positive outlook for technology adoption, the textile recycling market faces a major hurdle owing to the high machinery and equipment prices in textile recycling. Many developing and low-income countries hesitate to import textile recycling machines due to import duties, resulting in significantly higher textile waste. Approximately 75% of textile waste is landfilled and 25% is recycled, depicting a greater need for waste management initiatives by governments. Nonetheless, the recent transition in consumer behavior and awareness regarding carbon emissions is likely to encourage several nations to introduce zero-textile waste programs, overcoming this restraint in the future.
