Synthetics bother recyclers in United States textile waste
New York AP report quotes Richard H. Frankel of NARI on synthetic fiber mixtures complicating recycling. He notes lower recovery rates, fewer buyers, and health concerns from burning treated fabrics. He cites 1.5 billion pounds recycled last year, about 15 percent of generated waste, with a downward trend and rising synthetic share forecast for 1980.
