While it's great that many types of paper can now be recycled, textile waste is still mostly just dumped or burned.

A new technique could change that by combining the two materials, using discarded cotton clothing to boost the strength of packaging paper.

The process is being developed at Austria's Graz University of Technology.

It is hoped that once the technology is developed further, it could divert textile waste from going to landfills, produce stronger packaging paper that lasts longer before needing to be recycled, and reduce the amount of discarded paper needed for the production of packaging paper.

What do you think, is this a good development?
