Apparatus, and related method, for regenerating clothing manufacturing waste comprising synthetic fibers and membranesor filmsmade of plastic material, which includes two distinct treatments operated in sequence: a first chemical-physical treatment of the waste to be treated, to carry out the separation of the synthetic fiber fabric from the plastic material membrane, and a second physical-mechanical treatment aimed at obtaining the synthetic fiber.

A fabric for use in arc and flame protection, is made up of: more than 15% weight percent (wt %) aramids; less than 50% wt % modacrylic; less than 50% wt % cellulose; and less than 15% wt % nylon. A process for producing the fire-resistant fabric involves shredding recycled fire-resistant garments into fibers; creating yarn from the shredded fibers; weaving the yarn into fabric; and knitting the yarn to produce new garments. The fabric may be used to produce fire-resistant garments worn by workers in many industries such as the oil and gas.

An arrangement and a method for separating a woven textile into recovered fibers and textile residual. The recovered fibers can be reused in another textile at a later point in time, ensuring an environmentally friendly and energy efficient method for recycling woven textiles. The arrangement includes feeding means, a separating unit, and a fiber sorting device. The woven textile is separated into recovered fibers and textile residual by rotation of a brush roller arranged in the separating unit. Further, the fiber sorting device is arranged downstream the separating unit to collect the recovered fibers and textile residual. A sensor is arranged to monitor and determine the position of a downstream free end of the woven textile being fed to the separating unit. The arrangement further includes a control unit configured to control an operation of the feeding means, the separating unit and the fiber sorting device.

A fiber processing method includes performing defibration processing on a coarse fragment of a fabric containing a thread in which a plurality of fibers are twisted to produce a first defibrated material; and performing garnetting processing on the first defibrated material to produce a second defibrated material. The fiber processing method may further include, before performing the defibration processing, coarsely fragmenting the fabric to produce the coarse fragment.
