20.500.12556/RUL-170147 Oblikovanje kot okvir za preizpraševanje tekstilnega odpadka Design as Framework for Re-Evaluating Textile Waste Diplomsko delo je bilo usmerjeno v raziskovanje možnosti ponovne uporabe post-potrošniškega tekstilnega odpadka kot oblikovalske surovine v kontekstu trajnostnega in kritičnega oblikovanja. Glavni namen raziskave je bil razviti tekstilno-bioplastični kompozit iz lokalno pridobljenega odpadnega tekstila in naravnega veziva ter s tem preizprašati potencial tovrstnega materiala za estetsko, funkcionalno in simbolno relevantne oblikovalske aplikacije. V ospredje je bilo postavljeno vprašanje, kako lahko oblikovanje kot interdisciplinarna in kritična praksa prispeva k razmisleku o novih načinih ravnanja z odpadnimi materiali ter s tem presega zgolj funkcionalne in estetske vidike oblikovalskega procesa. V teoretičnem delu naloga obravnava tekstilni odpadek kot posledico sistemov hitre mode in potrošniške kulture ter preizprašuje njegovo vlogo znotraj sodobnih trajnostnih in regenerativnih oblikovalskih pristopov. Eksperimentalni del je vključeval zbiranje in analizo tekstilnega odpadka, kjer se je izkazalo, da je barvno razvrščanje ključno za vzpostavitev vizualne homogenosti končnega materiala. Razvito bio-vezivo na osnovi koruznega škroba je bilo v kombinaciji s tekstilnimi vlakni uporabljeno za sintezo kompozitnega materiala, ki je bil testiran v ploskovnih in volumenskih aplikacijah. Rezultati so pokazali, da dodatek vlaken bistveno poveča mehansko stabilnost materiala. Oblikovani prototipi so potrdili praktično vrednost in estetski potencial razvitega materiala, obenem pa nakazali možnosti za njegovo nadaljnjo konceptualno nadgradnjo. Raziskava prepoznava oblikovanje kot sredstvo za ponovno ovrednotenje tekstilnega odpada ter odpira prostor za nadaljnji razvoj kompozita, zlasti v smeri izboljšanja materialnih lastnosti, razširjenih možnosti tehnične obdelave ter vključujočega razvoja v sodelovanju s končnimi uporabniki. This diploma thesis investigated the potential of post-consumer textile waste as a viable design material within the framework of sustainable and critical design practices. The primary aim was to develop a textile-bioplastic composite from locally sourced discarded textiles and a natural binder, while simultaneously questioning how such a material might attain functional, aesthetic, and symbolic relevance within contemporary design discourse. The central research question addressed how design—as an interdisciplinary and critically engaged practice—can contribute to rethinking material value systems and offer alternative approaches to managing textile waste. The theoretical component examined textile waste as a by-product of fast fashion and consumerist culture, positioning it within broader discussions on circular economy principles, regenerative design strategies, and material semiotics. The experimental segment of the study entailed the systematic collection, classification, and analysis of textile waste, with findings indicating that colour-sorting played a pivotal role in achieving visual coherence in the final material. A corn starch based bioplastic binder, was synthesised and combined with mechanically processed textile fibres to create a composite material, which was subsequently evaluated through both planar and volumetric applications. The results demonstrated that the integration of fibres significantly improved the mechanical cohesion and structural integrity of the composite. The development of design prototypes—including a lampshade and a stool—confirmed the practical usability and aesthetic potential of the material while also highlighting opportunities for its conceptual evolution. Ultimately, the research positions design as a medium capable of challenging prevailing perceptions of waste, advocating for its recontextualisation as a resource endowed with both material and symbolic value. Furthermore, it outlines pathways for future exploration, particularly in enhancing physical properties, expanding manufacturing capabilities, and supporting user-informed design that responds to perceptions of textile waste. trajnostno oblikovanje tekstilni odpadek krožno gospodarstvo tekstilni kompozit bio-plastika sustainable design textile waste circular economy textile composite bioplastic true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Diplomsko delo/naloga 2025-07-02 13:31:07 2025-07-02 13:31:12 2025-07-03 04:43:23 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1970-01-01 105203 25266.pdf 25266.pdf 1 725C1172051EED104FBA4D9D06DEB992 1a4df7d3236a8e5411a82aa371c8a9b7856443febb5309a15115332f828eccef 29408d5c-5736-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=212079 Naravoslovnotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
