Abstract

Technological aspects regarding sustainable development concept and considerations on creating textile products with high added value from recycled fibres as combed and carded yarns, woven fabric waste, hosiery and leather waste. The paper offers some ways to reuse wastes from leather industry and presents some physical characteristics of some composite materials based on PVC mixed with different concentrations of leather wastes, before and after forced ageing.
