Análisis del proceso de fabricación de papel utilizando telas de algodón en desuso

Abstract

Making paper from disused cotton fabric is a sustainable and ecological alternative to traditional paper production based on wood pulp. This process offers several advantages such as reducing environmental impact, reducing tree felling, water pollution and energy consumption associated with the production of conventional paper, additionally taking advantage of waste, turning unused textiles into a valuable resource. , avoiding its accumulation in landfills, this demonstrates the potential of the circular economy to create sustainable and high-quality products from waste materials, the manufacture of paper based on recycled cotton fabric is an innovative and environmentally friendly process environment that offers a possible alternative to traditional paper products, this paper stands out for its strength, durability, unique texture and lower environmental impact. That is to say, its application is ideal when high quality and a handmade touch is required, while conventional paper offers greater versatility and is usually cheaper, but its environmental impact is greater and its durability is less. The costs associated with this process can be higher than that of conventional paper, due to the need to treat the recycled fabrics and separate the fibers, a limitation to this process is the amount of recycled cotton fabric available that can restrict production to large scale.
