Among the other everyday goods, volume of textile waste is growing rapidly. Moreover, lot of waste comes from Latvian textile production enterprises. Management of textile waste is still not established in Latvia and there is no national system for that. Therefore, potentially useful textile materials are disposed in landfills. One of the main principles of reduction of landfills and CO2 emissions and increase of the amount of textile waste recycled is “Polluter pays for the pollution." That necessitates the polluter to look for other waste management techniques instead of disposal and burning. Currently, it is topical to develop recommendations for proper management of textile waste in order to reduce waste management costs and save natural resources. Taking into account the fact that the Latvian "National Waste Management Plan 2013-2020" does not provide a separate textile waste management, but classifies them as municipal waste, the largest quantity of textiles may end up in landfills. This research concludes that there is still no textile recycling companies in Latvia and Latvian textile companies have to cooperate with recycling enterprises in Europe. Nearest partners are located in Lithuania (UAB Antriteksa) and Estonia (Toom textile, Ltd.). The second and less environment friendly way of Latvian textile companies to get rid of textile waste is delivering them for burning to the company Maltas apartments – public utility, located in Latvia, Malta. Before textile waste is sent to a recycling company, they should be prepared as required by the recycling company. The waste must be clean, dry, packaged without cutting paper and film. Within this research textile waste management stages are identified and a rational management recommendation algorithm is designed.
