Turkey Textile Recycling Market

Turkey Textile Recycling Market Overview:

The Turkey textile recycling market size reached USD 70.20 Million in 2024. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach USD 104.21 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.03% during 2025-2033. The market is fueled by its leading role in world textile production, increasing environmental consciousness, and government support for circular economy activities. Recycling infrastructure concentration in areas, such as Uşak and Bursa, facilitates industrial-scale reuse of textile waste. Technological innovations, such as AI-driven sorting and traceability software, along with academic support and public-private partnerships boost sector development, further contributing toward the consistent growth of Turkey textile recycling market share.

Turkey Textile Recycling Market Trends:

Uşak: Turkey’s Textile Recycling Powerhouse

The textile recycling sector in Uşak has become firmly entrenched as the hub of textile recycling in Turkey, a regional phenomenon. This city has evolved into an extremely efficient system where domestic and imported textile waste is converted into regenerated fibers and yarn. As the pioneer in this field, Uşak's recycling plants process an enormous quantity of textile scraps daily, which are then converted into quality yarn sold to both domestic manufacturing and for exportation. Its success is the result of a strong clustering of recycling activities, complemented by university-industry collaborations driving innovation in the reuse and upcycling of materials. Notably, the majority of Turkey's textile recycling is focused on the city of Uşak, which is a living model of circular economy. The emphasis on using precision-based sorting and fiber regeneration has transformed wasted textiles into useful economic inputs, building a recyclable and scalable recycling system specific to Turkey.

Innovations in Recycled Polyester and Circular Yarns

Industry leaders in Bursa are leading the transition toward industrial-scale recycled polyester production, as part of Turkey's further penetration into textile circularity. Such prominent companies have embraced next-generation recycling technologies that use post-consumer PET flakes combined with production scrap to create high-quality polyester filament yarns. They are selling these materials under new circular economy–centered product brands highlighting both eco-responsibility and operational efficiency. The use of continuous processing lines, having capabilities that provide fine melt filtration and hassle-free working, represents a major step towards synthetic fiber greening. This is especially seen in Turkey's internationally renowned textile production hubs, where production of industrial-scale recycled yarns is now a competitive advantage. These shifts reflect an overarching industry trend: the combination of sustainable input materials with industrial-scale capacities to support both domestic and export-oriented textile industries, which also supports the Turkey textile recycling market growth.

Digitalization and AI-Based Waste Management Systems

One of the emerging trends in Turkey's textile recycling industry is adopting digitized waste management software that combines AI-based classification, real-time monitoring, and analytics. New SMEs have started to provide systems to handle textile waste with complete traceability and efficiency, by sorting to recycling statistics. These sites typically feature digital product passports to provide transparency and enable compliance with circular economy values, giving brands and producers control over their environmental footprint. This move to digital mode is more than a shift from traditional recycling paradigms, with smarter end-to-end processes and data-driven material recovery optimization enabled. Simultaneously, large-scale initiatives like marketplace platforms for excess materials and scholarly collaborations, are facilitating the expansion of these digital platforms to Turkey's textile industry as a whole. In all, AI-powered recycling systems are updating the industry, enhancing resource utilization efficiency and positioning Turkey's textile recycling market in accordance with international standards of sustainability.
