Abstract
The textile sector is a major source of global pollution and resource depletion, generating waste at every stage of production, from spinning to garment manufacturing. This study addresses the critical need for sustainability in the textile industry by exploring the recycling of pre- and post-consumer textile waste to produce terry fabric. This research emphasizes a sustainable approach to recycling, utilizing pre-consumer waste, such as blowroom and carding waste, alongside post-consumer waste from discarded garments. These recycled fibres were spun into yarn and woven into terry fabric, and their properties compared to those of virgin cotton terry. While virgin cotton terry exhibited minor advantages in visual and tactile qualities, other properties remained consistent across all samples. A cost analysis further demonstrated the feasibility of producing medium to high-quality terry fabric from recycled yarn, providing a cost-effective alternative to virgin cotton. The research work contributes to the advancement of sustainable textile production, underscoring the potential of recycling to mitigate the environmental impact of the textile industry.

Title:Od odpadkov do tkanja : recikliranje industrijskih in potrošniških bombažnih odpadkov za trajnostno in stroškovno učinkovito proizvodnjo frotirja
Abstract:
Tekstilni sektor je z ustvarjanjem odpadkov na vseh stopnjah proizvodnje, od predenja do izdelave oblačil, velik vir globalnega onesnaževanja in izčrpavanja virov. Ta raziskava obravnava nujno potrebo po trajnosti v tekstilni industriji z vidika recikliranja industrijskih in popotrošnih odpadkov za proizvodnjo frotirja. V raziskavi je poudarjen trajnostni pristop k recikliranju industrijskih odpadkov, kot so odpadki pri rahljanju in mikanju vlaken, ter zavrženih oblačil. Reciklirana vlakna so bila predelana v prejo in frotir, ki je bil primerjan s frotirjem iz nerecikliranega bombaža. Frotir iz recikliranega bombaža je bil za malenkost slabšega videza in otipa kot frotir iz nerecikliranega bombaža, druge lastnosti pa so se pokazale kot zelo ponovljive. Analiza stroškov je potrdila izvedljivost proizvodnje srednje- do visokokakovostnega frotirja iz reciklirane preje, ki lahko zagotavlja stroškovno učinkovito zamenjavo nerecikliranega bombaža. Raziskava pripomore k napredku trajnostne proizvodnje tekstilij in poudarja potencial recikliranja za ublažitev vpliva tekstilne industrije na okolje.

Keywords:recikliranje, trajnost, bombažni odpadki, frotirna tkanina, stroškovna učinkovitost
