Hållbarhetsbedömning av återbruk och återvinning av textilier i och utanför Europa (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The waste hierarchy prioritises reuse over recycling, energy recovery, and disposal. However, exporting textiles for reuse in developing countries has raised concerns about factors such as waste management, challenging the hierarchy’s priorities when geographical context is considered. The aim of this study is to support European stakeholders in future textile management decisions by evaluating the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of different approaches to managing textiles collected in Sweden.

Abstract [sv]

Avfallshierarkin prioriterar återbruk framför återvinning, energiåtervinning och deponering. Viss oro har dock väckts kring utmaningar, såsom avfallshantering, i samband med export av textilier för återanvändning i utvecklingsländer. Detta har lett till att avfallshierarkins prioriteringar ifrågasätts när geografiska sammanhang beaktas. Syftet med denna studie är att stödja europeiska intressenter i framtida beslut om textilhantering genom att utvärdera den miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska hållbarheten hos olika metoder för att hantera textilier insamlade i Sverige.
