Textile fibre waste bindered with natural hydraulic lime

The reuse of waste materials can contribute to improve the sustainability of materials. In the EU, consumers discard around 5.8 million tonnes of textiles per year and only the 25% is recycled. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the research conducted to use textile fibre waste in boards. They were bindered with the minimum hydraulic lime in order to reduce its environmental impact in comparison to other boards, while preserving its mechanical and physical requirements for the purpose.
