Disclosed is a method of producing a rigid package material from textile waste. The method comprises mechanically shredding the textile waste into fibres, the textile waste comprising synthetic textile; blending the fibres with a binder; arranging the blended fibres into a nonwoven web; needle punching the nonwoven web to form a nonwoven felt; and pressing the nonwoven felt thermomechanically to obtain the rigid package material.
