The study of methods and technologies for waste management of production and consumption allows students studying in the direction 20.03.02 nature management and water use to become highly qualified specialists in the field of rational use of natural resources and engineering protection of the environment from generated waste. Recently, legislative and executive initiatives in the field of waste management are aimed at increasing the volume of utilization of secondary material resources from production and consumption waste. But mainly these initiatives are aimed at utilization of highly liquid waste, mainly in the form of a limited range of secondary material resources, which, on average, make up no more than one third of the use of all waste. Textile waste has received little attention in the large-scale processing industry, although the textile and clothing industry is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors in the global industry, driven by an increase in population, increased consumption, a variety of textile uses and greater productivity in mass production processes. Also, the textile industry is both the largest consumer of natural resources and the generator of production and consumption waste, which is practically not utilized, but goes to disposal facilities.
