Abstract
  • This article provides an in-depth overview of current research on post-consumer textile upcycling, covering areas such as textile waste management, recycling methods, and consumer attitudes towards recycled textiles. Using bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review (SLR) with Cite Space software, it analyzes 234 documents from Web of Science and Scopus to track the evolution and future trends in textile recycling. The SLR thoroughly examines and evaluates relevant studies, focusing on topics like textile waste, recycling approaches, disposal methods, and the dynamics of post-consumer textile recycling. This comprehensive review not only deepens understanding of the field but also highlights areas for further research. The findings aim to enhance upcycling practices in post-consumer textiles and suggest directions for future sustainable textile research.
