Producing commodity aromatic hydrocarbons from textile waste is a promising approach to promote carbon neutrality and circular economy. Catalytic degradation of flax waste (FW) to generate furans and its subsequent Diels-Alder transformation to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons over USY zeolite were conducted. Experimental results indicated that USY catalyzed FW resulted in a 5.5-fold increase in furans production compared with the non-catalytic trial. The Si/Al molar ratio in USY played a determining role in furans formation, and a 5-fold increase was observed over USY with a Si/Al ratio of 5.3 as opposed to that with a Si/Al ratio of 11. Plastic waste, polyethylene (PE), co-fed with FW yielded 1.6 times higher aromatic hydrocarbons than polypropylene (PP). The selectivity to aromatic hydrocarbons reached 81.6% under 20% PE co-fed with 80% FW, in which benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) were predominant products with the maximum selectivity of 68%. Furthermore, this study presents a cleaner approach for value-added resource recovery and sustainable management of textile and plastic waste.
