We live in a knowledge-based society, which is facing an increasing impact of science andtechnology on all aspects of life through products, services and consumer needs. In the future, society will beoriented towards the individual and his needs, which will be more and more complex and varied. The presentpaper comparatively presents a series of variants of cotton fibre yarns: made of blended cotton fibres withultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres; yarns of cotton fibres blended with regenerated cellulosefibres, that were functionalized with Ag ions and yarns obtained from fibre blends of recycled organic cotton,virgin cotton with recovered cotton fibres in order to observe their mechanical potential. The built-infunctionalities allow their use in areas such as healthcare and hygiene, sports and leisure activities. Therecovery of textile waste in a circular approach and the transition to a circular economy is an importantdirection for research. The repercussions that the consumption of raw materials in the textile industry has, onthe environment, as well as on sustainability, determine us to reason in a judicious way when we select thedifferent materials that we use in making the products.
