Abstract Waste textiles generally have various colours. The largely discarded textiles not only result in huge loss of the limited natural materials, but also waste the colour in it which had cost substantial energy consumption and risked water pollution during dyeing. This work aimed to recycle both the waste textiles and the colours in them. In this research, magenta waste cotton fabric was firstly milled into powders with different particle sizes, and then printed as ‘‘pigments’’ onto cotton fabric to achieve new magenta coloured fabrics. Properties of the powders
and corresponding printed fabrics were tested, including powder morphology, colour and fabric colour fastness. Powders with different particle sizes showed different colour depth from the K/S and L*a*b* value results. The K/S value of printed fabrics indicated that particle size did not have an apparent influence on the fabric colour. Furthermore, fabrics printed with 2, 5, 10 and 30 lm magenta cotton powders presented good fastness, among which the fabric printed with 5 lm powders possessed the best colour and rub fastness. This study demonstrated a potential new application for coloured textile waste.

At present, the society is facing a big challenge in textile waste disposal. The ever-changing fashion trends have led to the rapid increase of waste clothing (Zamani et al. 2017; Bouzon and Govindan 2015; To et al. 2019). The global production of textile fibres totaled 90.8 million tons in 2014 (Statista 2016). It was expected that the worldwide textile market will be over 100 million tons by the year 2025 (Lenzing 2016; Pensupa et al. 2017), growing at an average rate of 3.7% per year. However, the vast majority of these

textiles were eventually incinerated or landfilled (Echeverria et al. 2019; Sandin and Peters 2018; Abbaspour et al. 2019). In addition, the textile industry consumes a lot of energy, water and c
