| Résumé : |
The global textile fiber market is enormous. The latest full market info dating from 2019 confirms the global textile fiber production to have been a staggering 111 million tons business. Of that total vast number, polyester (PET) fibers represented a share of 52.20/0, or 57.7 million tons. The next biggest category is then claimed by cotton fibers with a share of 23.2% or 25.7 million tons. Fiber production has more than doubled in the last 20 years and is expected to increase by another 30% by 2030 to 146 million tons if business as usual continues. It is impossible with the current technological and economical situation to find suitable and more sustainable alternative fibers to substitute these >50 million tons of PET fibers. A solution to substitute such vast volumes will also not be found within the foreseeable future. Therefore, there is no other choice than to try to cope with the use of PET, and try to find more sustainable ways of dealing with it. |
