Analysis of the amount of textile waste in mixed municipal waste in the Czech Republic between 2016 and 2021

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles, published in March 2022, sets out the aim topropose binding targets in preparation for the reuse and recycling of textile waste as a part of therevision of EU legislation on waste planned for 2024. However, to set such specific targets for textilereuse and recycling, including the subsequent scaling up of collection and recycling capacities, it isnecessary to know the amount of textile waste currently present in mixed municipal waste (MMW). Thisarticle thus summarises the results of the analyses of 64 MMW samples performed in the CzechRepublic. The results show that textile waste amounted to 6.16% MMW in 2016-2021. To estimate thetotal amount of textiles in MMW, the specific data between 2018 and 2020 was used (as these data areunified between the Czech Statistical Office and the Ministry of the Environment). Based on the data forthis period, the total textile volume in MMW amounted to approx. 135,989 tons.Therefore, the article summarises the current challenges for municipal textile waste managementfollowing the EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles published in March 2022 by the EuropeanCommission, defines the data gap in the knowledge of the amount of textile waste in MMW in the CzechRepublic, and analyses the possible amount of textile waste in MMW. Although the results onlyrepresent the Czech Republic, they can be a valuable input for accurate target setting and as a model forsimilar analyses performed in other EU countries. Specifically, having data describing the currentpresence of textile in MMW can form an important base for an evidence-based approach to the designand creation of a network of textile waste collection containers and services prior to the 2025 deadline, inorder for it to reflect the existing amounts of household waste. The data can also be used to set targetsfor textile waste collection, recycling and for reductions of the share of textile in MMW. At the same time,the article indicates that the absence of such data is common, and points to the need for further detailedresearch in this field.
