NEW YORK - Discarded textiles could be used to create waterproof coatings for new clothes while also reducing the use of PFAS - the so-called 'forever chemicals', new research suggests.
The findings from a team of researchers at Cornell University in the US suggest that the use of textiles that may otherwise end up in landfill or incinerated is safer for humans and the environment than coatings that are manufactured with harsh chemicals and carcinogens.
