Protective Clothing Recyclability

Although textile recycling is known from an ancient time, today it still manages to capture our attention, especially in the area of protective and smart textiles. Last decade we are witnessing a great increase in the production and utilization of such textiles, and as can be expected the amount of this purposefully targeted textile that has to be safety disposed is growing endangering in that way environmental capacity of Earth. Having all that in mind as well as a fact that most protective and smart textiles are not simple ones impelled a lot of textile scientists and engineers in the research of possible ways in which such 21st century textiles can be reused, recycled or disposed. Within this paper some possibilities of protective and smart clothing recyclability are presented. Focus is put on standard combat army uniform, chemical/biohazard hazmat suit and e-shirt that can be used by soldiers or patient.
