Textile production and consumption are continually increasing. The different textile processes create a lot of natural (cotton, flax, wool etc.) and man-made (rayon, polyamide, polyester etc.) textile waste, which usually is destroyed by fire or buried underground. Natural fiber waste can be used for biodegradable composite materials processing. Recyclability is the major attraction of composites with both thermoplastic matrix and reinforcement 1.As environment protection and waste recycling have become important, the research of possibility to use the textile waste for composite materials processing is urgant.
