Comprehensive assessment of fragmented fiber shedding from recycled cotton textiles. Part III integrated qualitative and quantitative assessment of released fib... (opens in new tab)

Fragmented fiber release from textiles represents a growing environmental concern, particularly for systems containing recycled cotton. This study presents the third integrative stage of a systematic investigation linking fiber quality, yarn parameters, and woven fabric construction to the emission of fiber fragments and particulate matter during repeated laundering. Three mechanically recycled cotton blends (B, C, D) were processed into 29.5 tex rotor-spun weft yarns and woven with high-qual...
