can u elaborate on posture being a lie

As Beth Linker explains in her book “Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America” (Princeton), a long history of anxiety about the proximity between human and bestial nature has played out in this area of social science. Linker, a historian of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, argues that at the onset of the twentieth century the United States became gripped by what she characterizes as a poor-posture epidemic: a widespread social contagion of slumping that could, it was feared, have deleterious effects not just upon individual health but also upon the body politic. Sitting up straight would help remedy all kinds of failings, physical and moral [...] she sees the “past and present worries concerning posture as part of an enduring concern about so-called ‘diseases of civilization’ ”—grounded in a mythology of human ancestry that posits the hunter-gatherer as an ideal from which we have fallen.

[...]

In America at the turn of the twentieth century, anxieties about posture inevitably collided with anxieties not just about class but also about race. Stooping was associated with poverty and with manual, industrialized labor—the conditions of working-class immigrants from European countries who, in their physical debasement, were positioned well below the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant establishment. Linker argues that, in this environment, “posture served as a marker of social status similar to skin color.” At the same time, populations that had been colonized and enslaved were held up as posture paradigms for the élite to emulate: the American Posture League rewarded successful students with congratulatory pins that featured an image of an extremely upright Lenape man. The head-carrying customs associated with African women were also adopted as training exercises for white girls of privilege, although Linker notes that Bancroft and her peers recommended that young ladies learn to balance not baskets and basins, which signified functionality, but piles of flat, slippery books, markers of their own access to leisure and education. For Black Americans, posture was even more fraught: despite the admiration granted to the posture of African women bearing loads atop their heads, community leaders like Dr. Algernon Jackson, who helped establish the National Negro Health Movement, criticized those Black youth who “too often slump along, stoop-shouldered and walk with a careless, lazy sort of dragging gait.” If slouching among privileged white Americans could indicate an enviable carelessness, it was seen as proof of indolence when adopted by the disadvantaged.

This being America, posture panic was swiftly commercialized, with a range of products marketed to appeal to the eighty per cent of the population whose carriage had been deemed inadequate by posture surveys. The footwear industry drafted orthopedic surgeons to consult on the design of shoes that would lessen foot and back pain without the stigma of corrective footwear: one brand, Trupedic, advertised itself as “a real anatomical shoe without the freak-show look.” The indefatigable Jessie Bancroft trained her sights on children’s clothing, endorsing a company that created a “Right-Posture” jacket, whose trim cut across the upper shoulders gave its schoolboy wearer little choice but to throw his shoulders back like Jordan Baker. Bancroft’s American Posture League endorsed girdles and corsets for women; similar garments were also adopted by men, who, by the early nineteen-fifties, were purchasing abdominal “bracers” by the millions.

It was in this era that what eventually proved to be the most contentious form of posture policing reached its height, when students entering college were required to submit to mandatory posture examinations, including the taking of nude or semi-nude photographs. For decades, incoming students had been evaluated for conditions such as scoliosis by means of a medical exam, which came to incorporate photography to create a visual record. Linker writes that for many male students, particularly those who had military training, undressing for the camera was no biggie. For female students, it was often a more disquieting undertaking. Sylvia Plath, who endured it in 1950, drew upon the experience in “The Bell Jar,” whose protagonist, Esther Greenwood, discovers that undressing for her boyfriend is as uncomfortably exposing as “knowing . . . that a picture of you stark naked, both full view and side view, is going into the college gym files.” The practice of taking posture photographs was gradually abandoned by colleges, thanks in part to the rise of the women’s movement, which gave coeds a new language with which to express their discomfort. It might have been largely forgotten were it not for a 1995 article in the Times Magazine, which raised the alarming possibility that there still existed stashes of nude photographs of famous former students of the Ivy League and the Seven Sisters, such as George H. W. Bush, Bob Woodward, Meryl Streep, and Hillary Clinton. Many of the photographs in question were taken and held not by the institutions themselves but by the mid-century psychologist William Herbert Sheldon. Sheldon was best known for his later discredited theories of somatotypes, whereby he attributed personality characteristics to individuals based on whether their build was ectomorphic, endomorphic, or mesomorphic.

[...]

Today, the descendants of Jessie Bancroft are figures like Esther Gokhale, a Bay Area acupuncturist and the creator of the Gokhale Method, who teaches “primal posture” courses to tech executives and whose recommendations are consonant with other fitness trends, such as barefoot running and “paleo” eating, that romanticize an ancestral past as a remedy for the ills of the present. The compulsory mass surveillance that ended when universities ceased the practice of posture photography has been replaced by voluntary individual surveillance, with the likes of Rafi the giraffe and the Nekoze cat monitoring a user’s vulnerability to “tech neck,” a newly named complaint brought on by excessive use of the kind of devices profitably developed by those paleo-eating, barefoot-running, yoga-practicing executives. Meanwhile, Linker reports, paleoanthropologists quietly working in places other than TikTok have begun to revise the popular idea that our ancient ancestors did not get aches and pains in their backs. Analysis of fossilized spines has revealed degenerative changes suggesting that “the first upright hominids to roam the earth likely experienced back pain, or would have been predisposed to such a condition if they had lived long enough.” Slouching, far from being a disease of civilization, then, seems to be something we’ve been prone to for as long as we have stood on our own two feet.

[S]low death occurs not within the time scale of the crisis, not of the event [or singular moment] [...], but in “a zone of temporality . . . of ongoingness, getting by, and living on, where the structural inequalities are dispersed [...].” Slow death is, quite simply, “a condition of being worn out [...].” If debility is endemic to disenfranchised communities, it is doubly so because the forms of financialization that accompany [...] the privatization of services also produce debt as debility. This relationship between debt and debility can be described as a kind of “financial expropriation” [...]. Debt peonage [...] is an updated version of Marx’s critique of “choice” under capitalism. Debt as enclosure, as immobility, is what Gilles Deleuze writes of [...]: “Man is no longer man enclosed, but man in debt.” This is especially true [...] in the United States, where health care expenses are the number one cause of personal bankruptcy, a capacitation of slow death through debt undertaken to support one’s health. This theory [...] entails that [...] one is, as Geeta Patel points out, paying for one’s own slow death, through insurial and debt structures predicated on risk and insecurity, and essentially forced into agreeing to one’s own debilitation. [...] More perniciously, one could suggest [...] that finance capital enforces repeated mandatory investments in our own slow deaths [...].

In the early workers’ movement, slowdowns, sit-downs and the destruction of machinery took on the name “sabotage,” from the sabot or wooden shoe. [...] The clog was used in factories and mines as an early form of protective equipment, a sort of steel-toe boot that took on a distinctly working-class character as heavy industry proliferated across Europe. [...] It was factory-made footwear built for recently dispossessed peasants-become-workers, some of whom might, in fact, be making shoes. Altogether, it was the symbol for a complex, market-driven chain of enclosure, migration, boom and bust which, despite its complexity, really [...] comes down to the [silliest] of logical circles: make shoes for workers to wear as they make more shoes. [...] They wear the shoes even as they make them. [...] [T]he mines and factories make for lives that are little more than a slow disemboweling. [...] Made dependent on the wage, migrants newly dispossessed of any other means of subsistence crowded into the early industrial slums. [...] The industrial wasteland of [...] clanging machines creates desperate, alien conditions for those that live within it.

[W]hat France did to the Haitian people after the Haitian Revolution is a particularly notorious examples of colonial theft. France instituted slavery on the island in the 17th century, but, in the late 18th century, the enslaved population rebelled and eventually declared independence. Yet, somehow, [...] the thinking went that the former enslavers of the Haitian people needed to be compensated, rather than the other way around. [...] Haiti officially declared its independence from France in 1804. [...] On April 17, 1825, the French king [...] issued a decree stating France would recognize Haitian independence but only at the price of 150 million francs - or around 10 times the amount the U.S. had paid for the Louisiana territory. The sum was meant to compensate the French colonists for their lost revenues from slavery. Baron de Mackau, whom Charles X sent to deliver the ordinance, arrived in Haiti in July, accompanied by a squadron of 14 brigs of war carrying more than 500 cannons. Rejection of the ordinance almost certainly meant war. This was not diplomacy. It was extortion. [...] [T]he total was more than 10 times Haiti’s annual budget. The rest of the world seemed to agree that the amount was absurd. [...] Forced to borrow 30 million francs from French banks to make the first two payments, it was hardly a surprise to anyone when Haiti defaulted soon thereafter. Still, the new French king sent another expedition in 1838 with 12 warships to force the Haitian president’s hand. [...] Although the colonists claimed that the indemnity would only cover one-twelfth the value of their lost properties, including the people they claimed as their slaves, the total amount of 90 million francs was actually five times France’s annual budget. [...] [R]esearchers have found that the independence debt [...] [was] directly responsible [...] for the underfunding of education in 20th-century Haiti, [...] lack of health care and [...] public infrastructure. [...] [T]he interest from all the loans [...] were not completely paid off until 1947 [...]. France belatedly abolished slavery in 1848 in its remaining colonies of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion and French Guyana, which are still territories of France today. Afterwards, the French government demonstrated once again its understanding of slavery’s relationship to economics when it took it upon itself to financially compensate the former “owners” of enslaved people.

The Slavery Abolition Act didn’t apply to India or Ceylon, and though it technically liberated over 800,000 British slaves in the Caribbean and Africa, all of them (excepting only small children) were forced to continue to labor as unpaid “apprentices” for a further six years, on pain of punishment. Under the terms of the act, they [...] remained their [masters'] “transferable property,” subject to punishment for  “indolence,” “insolence,” or “insubordination.” So many black West Indians were jailed for resisting these outrageous terms that full   emancipation was eventually brought forward to August 1, 1838. [...] A century on, the independence of most Caribbean colonies in the 1960s was followed by decades of racist British immigration policies that not only sought to prevent black West Indians from coming to the UK but eventually, under the Conservative governments of the past decade, ended up deliberately destroying the lives of thousands of lifelong legal residents by treating them as “illegal migrants.” In the meantime, for almost two hundred years, British taxpayers funded the largest slavery-related reparations ever paid out. Under the provisions of the 1833 act, the government borrowed and then disbursed the staggering sum of £20 million (equal to 40 percent of its annual budget - the equivalent of £300 billion in today’s value). Not until 2015 that debt finally paid off. This unprecedented compensation for injustice went not to those whose lives had been spent in slavery, nor even to those descended from the millions who had died in captivity. It was all given to British slaveowners, as restitution for the loss of their human property.

FieldWork:#1 making Yeezys Unfamiliar

Founded in 2009 Kanye started to change up the sneaker designs. we all know what yeezys are and who created them. “Yeezys” are classified as adorned sneakers, but "Kanye has grown the Yeezy brand to include a clothing and accessory line, while also expanding his footwear line to include shoes like boots and heels. Beyond this, Kanye has grown the Yeezy brand through key partnerships with some of the best designers in the industry like Louis Vuitton, Nike, Adidas, and APC. His partnerships have spanned different lengths of time, with his Nike partnership lasting for five years, and his partnership with Adidas being ongoing. After a five-year collaboration, and after the release of the Yeezy I and Yeezy II sneaker designs, "Kanye ended his partnership with Nike". This came right after the release of the Air Yeezy 2s. Instead of paying royalties for Kanye’s designs, Nike decided to donate his earnings to a charity of his choice. After leaving Nike, Kanye was approached by Adidas, who, unlike Nike, offered to pay royalties for his designs (a 15% wholesale royalty). For Kanye, this felt like more of a true partnership between two brands. I’m current day after Kanye launched his Yeezy Season I clothing line, Adidas chose to end its partnership with Yeezy clothing. Adidas cited that this was because they wanted to focus entirely on their Yeezy footwear line, rather than splitting their focus. "

Where were Yeezys manufactured?

Yeezys are manufactured under Adidas in China, but Kanye West has been aiming toward moving Yeezy production to the US, Adidas makes most Yeezys in China. You will find a “Made in China” tag in most pairs of Yeezys. Nonetheless, Adidas began Yeezy production in Germany through the Yeezy 450. By 2021, Kanye West has aimed toward moving Yeezy production to the US.In 2020, Adidas earned an annual sales revenue of $1.7 billion from Yeezy. Real Yeezy are mostly made in China. After the Adidas acquisition, Yeezy are now manufactured in Germany as well.On the other hand, Kanye West proposed to make Yeezy in the United States. Consequently, Adidas makes Yeezy in the United States as well.

The impact Yeezys have one me

I’d say that Yeezys have a big impact on my life because I’ve been collecting them for a while now. I’ve become fascinated with the brand and how it’s different. Also, the vision behind them and how Kanye had an idea and turned it into reality not caring about what others had to say about it. Normally when people buy shoes they just go based off of look but when I buy Yeezys I really think about Kanye and the messages that he’s trying to put out and also they remind me to also be yourself, You never should worry about what the next person has to say about what your wearing it’s either you like it or not it doesn’t get much more simpler than that. Also, they have an impact on me in a fashion sense because I have a lot of them to put with different outfits and I can just try new combos out.

Who are the people directly involved with making or manufacturing this item? What is life like for them?

Reports of Chinese factory workers going underpaid have increased over the past few years. A consistent income is promised to many employees when they are hired as temporary or seasonal workers, especially in rural areas. However, they frequently put in long hours with little to no pay, which causes the impacted workers to live in abject poverty. In many places, there are no labor regulations or labor protections, which makes it easier for dishonest companies to take advantage of their employees. Unpaid labor in Chinese factories has its roots in a larger issue of systemic exploitation in the labor market of the nation. Many international firms have established operations in China due to the country's enormous pool of workers and affordable labor expenses.

Brazil’s footwear exports to EU offset drops in other markets

Brazil's January footwear exports totaled 14.63 million pairs with a value of US$117.9 million. Both the volume (+4.5%) and value (+16.6%) are higher compared to January last year.

According to the data, prepared by the Brazilian Association of Footwear Industries (Abicalçados),  the increase in exports to the European Union more than offset declines logged for sale to the United States and Argentina, which are historically the two main destinations for Brazilian footwear.

“The deceleration of inflation in the region tends to gradually benefit the consumption of non-essential goods, such as shoes,” says Abicalçados chief executive Haroldo Ferreira. Exports to the EU were up by 29% in revenue and 27.9% in volume. Ferreira also notes that the IMF revised upward the Euro Zone GDP growth projection, which should vary by 0.7% in 2023, compared to the earlier forecast of 0.5%.

Jelly Shoes Are a Timeless Fashion Statement

Joyful, comfy and brazenly childlike, it is undeniably fun to throw on a pair of jelly shoes. These days, designers like Carmen Sol, Tory Burch and Ferragamo have given these whimsical shoes a sophisticated upgrade. Today, the jelly shoe has made a big comeback and is available in styles ranging from the classic sandal to high-rise wedges. Jelly shoes are even vegan-friendly, offering a great alternative to shoes made from leather. 

Carmen Sol’s jelly shoes are inspired by popular runway trends, like chunky styles with ruffles and bows, traditional webbed designs, and edgy studs.  Some of the styles you'll see in Carmen Sol’s contemporary jelly footwear include the following:

Chunky wedges with studs

Embellished sandals

Gladiator sandals

Beautiful thongs

You may think you know jelly shoes as trends of the ‘80s or children's footwear, but you may be surprised to find out that they have an international history that dates back to shortly after World War II.  

The History of Jelly Shoes

The origin of jelly shoes is uncertain. Vogue Paris has revealed that jelly shoes, which they refer to as “méduse” (which means “jellyfish” in French) shoes were created in 1946 during a post-war leather shortage. Other sources assert that the budget-friendly and waterproof shoes were a product of the plastic boom of the late 1950s. 

No matter when jelly shoes were created, they only became popular in the 1980s, with the surge of neon, rainbow bright colors and synthetic fashion trends.   In 1981, a bank president named Preston Haag Sr. quit his job to find a business he could operate that would include his family.  He soon traveled to South America in order to visit with American ambassadors and discover potential products for the United States market. 

At a reception in Brazil, Haag saw many different bright shoes worn by various young women. He ended up asking them about their footwear and learned that their manufacturer was Grendene, a small company that employed 3,000 of the 10,000 people living in the town of Farroupilha, Brazil. 

In March 1981, Haag made a deal to distribute Grendene's plastic shoes in the southeastern US through a new company that he named Grendha.  He first introduced jelly shoes in America at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. 

While this launch was successful, jelly shoes only became a bonafide fashion hit in America in February 1983.   This was when Bloomingdale's, a fashionable and luxurious department store in New York City, ordered 2,400 pairs in nine different styles.  After this massive sale and resulting exposure, jelly shoes became the hottest summer sandal in the fashion world. 

Today, designers like Gucci and other big names have made luxe, high-fashion versions of jelly shoes and influencers like Alexa Chung have been spotted wearing them. 

What Are Jelly Shoes Made Of?

PVC is very flexible and resistant to abrasions at a low cost. 

Unfortunately PVC hasn’t had the best reputation, as it has been said to be toxic, constituting a health hazard during the manufacturing process.  One feature that sets Carmen Sol’s products apart from other brands is that they design and manufacture products that are Prop-65 compliant, which means they are nontoxic. 

The scented jelly material is animal cruelty-free while adding a subtle fragrance to the products that never fades away. The company sources the scent from Italy and infuses it into the material.

Advances in plastics and synthetic materials have provided for significant improvements in jelly shoes from years past. Modern materials are lightweight, offer more comfort, are sweat and odor-resistant, and are surprisingly eco-friendly. Many modern styles of these shoes, like Carmen Sol’s, are made from recycled materials, making them a choice that is environmentally responsible as well as affordable.

The jelly material Carmen Sol uses is not only 100 percent recyclable but also cruelty-free and vegan. Their jelly material is available in an assortment of different colors, providing you with many different options to choose from. The diversity of Carmen Sol's collection means every accessory that you choose from this brand is incredibly unique, stylish, and sustainable.

Modern Jelly Shoes: How to Wear

Carmen Sol’s fun sandals and slides are the perfect summer companion for shorts, tees, tank tops, casual skirts and pretty summer dresses. Color options are numerous, with options like white and baby pink and plenty of bright hues in the mix. The brighter colors work well in spring and summer with almost any casual wear. Their nude and white options match with any outfit.

Darker hues, metallic styles, and dress-up styles like their embellished wedges can work with more sophisticated outfits too. Pair pretty dresses and skirts with a metallic sandal style, or spice up your skinny jeans with a dark peep toe jelly flat.  Carmen Sol offers metallic hues that include rose gold, gunmetal, gold, and silver. Choose a fun wedge jelly style to wear with khakis, jeans, or slacks.

In addition to playful and comfy jelly shoes, did you know there are other kinds of accessories available made from PVC jelly?  Jelly bracelets and bags are becoming more and more popular because of their durability and beauty.  Like their jelly shoes, the Carmen Sol bracelets and bags are characterized by edgy studs and bold colors. 

Modern jelly shoes like those designed by Carmen Sol are a fun and functional way to incorporate playful colors and styles into your footwear.  No matter which style you select, you are bound to turn heads because of Carmen Sol jelly shoes’ striking beauty and eye-catching appearance!

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is a widely used thermoplastic material known for its versatility and applications in various industries. The EVA market is influenced by a combination of factors, including supply and demand dynamics, raw material costs, end-user industry trends, and global economic conditions. The pricing trends for EVA are a crucial aspect of the market, affecting manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users alike. Understanding these trends requires a comprehensive analysis of both macroeconomic and microeconomic factors that impact the production and consumption of EVA globally.

One of the primary determinants of EVA prices is the cost of its raw materials, particularly ethylene. Ethylene, derived from crude oil or natural gas, serves as a critical input for EVA production. Therefore, fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices directly influence ethylene costs and, consequently, EVA prices. When crude oil prices rise, the cost of ethylene typically follows suit, leading to higher production costs for EVA. Conversely, a decline in crude oil prices can provide some relief to EVA manufacturers, allowing them to offer more competitive pricing. This linkage makes the EVA market sensitive to changes in global energy markets, geopolitical tensions, and regulatory policies affecting crude oil and natural gas production.

Demand from key end-user industries also plays a significant role in shaping EVA pricing trends. The footwear industry, for instance, is one of the largest consumers of EVA, using it to manufacture soles and midsoles due to its flexibility and cushioning properties. Similarly, the solar industry relies on EVA for encapsulant films in photovoltaic panels, which protect solar cells and enhance their efficiency. The packaging, automotive, and medical sectors are other notable contributors to EVA demand. Any shifts in these industries, such as technological advancements, changing consumer preferences, or economic slowdowns, can significantly affect EVA consumption patterns and, by extension, its market prices. For example, the growing emphasis on renewable energy has spurred demand for EVA in solar applications, supporting its price stability despite fluctuations in other sectors.

Trade dynamics and regional production capacities are additional factors influencing EVA prices. Countries with abundant ethylene production capabilities, such as the United States and certain Middle Eastern nations, often have a cost advantage in manufacturing EVA. This competitive edge allows these regions to export EVA at favorable prices, impacting global pricing structures. On the other hand, countries reliant on imports for their ethylene or EVA needs may face higher costs due to transportation expenses, import duties, and exchange rate fluctuations. Trade policies, tariffs, and international agreements further complicate the pricing landscape, as they can either facilitate or hinder the flow of EVA across borders.

Environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives are increasingly shaping the EVA market. Governments and organizations worldwide are imposing stricter standards to reduce carbon emissions and promote eco-friendly practices. For EVA manufacturers, this has led to a greater focus on developing bio-based or recyclable alternatives to traditional EVA products. While these innovations cater to the growing demand for sustainable solutions, they also come with higher production costs, which may be passed on to consumers. At the same time, regulatory compliance costs for conventional EVA production can also drive up prices, particularly in regions with stringent environmental policies.

Technological advancements and innovations in EVA production processes are also influencing market dynamics. Manufacturers are investing in research and development to enhance the properties of EVA, such as its durability, transparency, and thermal resistance. These improvements not only expand the range of applications for EVA but also add value to the product, enabling producers to command premium prices. Additionally, the development of advanced copolymers and blends has allowed EVA to compete with alternative materials in various applications, further bolstering its market position.

Seasonal variations and market speculation can cause short-term fluctuations in EVA prices. For example, increased construction activities during the warmer months often lead to higher demand for EVA-based products, such as adhesives and sealants. Similarly, the holiday season typically drives up demand for EVA in packaging and footwear, contributing to temporary price hikes. Speculative activities in commodity markets can also amplify price volatility, as traders react to news and events that may impact supply and demand conditions.

In conclusion, the pricing dynamics of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate are shaped by a complex interplay of factors, including raw material costs, industry demand, trade dynamics, environmental regulations, and technological advancements. The market is further influenced by external events, such as geopolitical developments and global economic trends. For stakeholders in the EVA value chain, staying informed about these factors is essential for making strategic decisions and navigating the challenges and opportunities in this dynamic market. As the world transitions towards a more sustainable future, the EVA market is likely to witness continued innovation and adaptation, ensuring its relevance across diverse industries.

Segmentation Analysis of the Textile Recycling Market

The global textile recycling market was valued at approximately USD 4,632.4 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is largely driven by rising environmental concerns regarding textile waste and increasing social awareness about the importance of textile recycling. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), around 5% of landfill space is filled with textile waste. In the United States, an estimated 25 billion pounds of textiles are produced annually, which translates to approximately 82 pounds per person. These factors are expected to significantly boost the demand for textile recycling in the coming years.

Textile waste recycling plays a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability. One effective recycling method is upcycling, which maximizes the conservation of resources such as water, raw materials, and energy, while minimizing environmental impacts. Additionally, recycling textiles has a lower environmental footprint compared to incineration or landfill disposal. By replacing products made from virgin materials, resource recovery can yield substantial environmental benefits. All these elements are anticipated to positively influence market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, the rising global population and increasing consumer spending capacity are likely to lead to greater textile waste generation, raising concerns about effective waste management. Many government agencies and private companies are viewing textile recycling as a viable solution to address these challenges and promote a circular economy. According to a report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2022, the recycling rate for all textiles in the country stood at 14.7% in 2018, highlighting the potential for improvement in this sector.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Textile Recycling Market

Source Insights

By source, the apparel waste segment represented 28.9% of the global textile recycling revenue in 2022. This segment includes waste generated from leftover fabric during manufacturing, damaged or rejected garments, and post-consumer discarded clothing and footwear. Over the past two decades, the average lifespan of new garments has significantly decreased, leading to increased waste generation within the apparel industry. These dynamics are expected to further fuel the demand for recycling within this sector.

Home furnishing waste, which encompasses textiles generated from items such as pillows, carpets, rugs, bedsheets, curtains, and sofas, is another growing segment. Increased disposable income worldwide has led to higher spending and more frequent purchases of these products, resulting in greater home furnishing waste. Factors contributing to this trend include population growth, a wider variety of home furnishings, and improved living standards, all of which generate substantial post-industrial and post-consumer waste in this category. These elements are projected to drive demand for recycling of home furnishing textiles.

The automotive waste segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period. Textiles used in vehicles, including carpets, seat covers, cushions, roof liners, door liners, tires, filters, and airbags, contribute to automotive waste. The rise in vehicle ownership in developing countries is exacerbating the issue of automotive waste. Initiatives aimed at managing automotive textile waste are likely to positively impact market growth.

Stuffed toys also fall under the category of textiles suitable for recycling. According to the Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART), only 15% of textiles in the U.S. are donated for reuse or recycling. Annually, the average American family discards about 324 pounds of unwanted textiles, including stuffed toys. In 2021, Bank & Vogue Ltd. successfully recycled approximately 1,400,000 pounds of toys. Additionally, SK-Tex has recycled clothing into materials for car seat upholstery filling, furniture insulation, and ECO building insulation. These trends are expected to enhance the demand for recycling initiatives focused on items such as sailing and fishing nets, insulation materials, and stuffed toys.
