Abstract
The present invention provides multiple processes of making fabric composites using fabric and/or fiber waste, or virgin fabric or fiber as starting material and via a needle punching process. The fabric and/or fiber waste, or virgin fabric or fiber, are regenerated to form fabric composites for reuse.
