What is it about?

The significant financial and physical resources invested in waste recycling research need to be more productive in terms of producing the recyled product from the research results obtained. The results obtained should be useful to end up in a recycled fiber or product for the market need. For a tangible shift in making the waste- to- product cycle, the results produced in the waste recycling studies should be highly valid and effective.

Why is it important?

Waste recycling research is significantly applicable when it is supported with industry and market expertise. It should not be limited to academician only. It is important to appreciate the participation of operating system at commercial or industrial levels. In this study, therefore, two novel metrics are defined and introduced: first is the Industry Participation Index (IPI), and the second is Industrial and Commercial Rating (ICR). It is the first study that established the effectiveness of industry and commercial sector participation through the novel metrics in waste recycling.

Perspectives

Research studies in fiber waste recycling need to be significant in producing adoptable methods useful in industry particularly to local materials, machines, methods, and procedures used. Currently, smaller recycled content in textile product market indicates the lacking of industry and commercial sector participation in the design, development and execution.
