Investigation of Ethiopian apparel industry's fabric waste and its management strategies

Berihun Bizuneh et al.

Summary: This paper investigates waste generation, management, and minimization approaches in the apparel industry in Ethiopia. The study finds that fabric is the major source of waste, with most companies selling their wastes to small-scale enterprises and few disposing to landfills. More than half of the companies lack waste minimization strategies, but a few employ techniques such as re-designing and minimum waste pattern cutting to increase fabric utilization.

Textile-apparel manufacturing and material waste management in the circular economy: A conceptual model to achieve sustainable development goal (SDG) 12 for Bangladesh

Maeen Md Khairul Akter et al.

Summary: The textiles and apparel manufacturing industry generates significant materials waste that needs to be effectively managed to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability. This research identifies and categorizes the waste generated, determines the economic loss, and investigates the informal trading of waste materials. It also proposes a waste management model for the industry in the context of the circular economy.

An environmentally friendly sound insulation material from post-industrial textile waste and natural rubber

D. G. K. Dissanayake et al.

Summary: The global textile production is rising rapidly, posing challenges in managing post-industrial textile waste. A novel method of developing sound insulation materials using cotton/polyester mixed wastes and natural rubber was investigated in this research. The newly developed materials showed sound insulation properties comparable to commercially available products, with insulation performance increasing with thickness.

Environmental impact of discarded apparel landfilling and recycling

Shadia Moazzem et al.

Summary: This study highlights the environmental impact and benefits of apparel recycling compared to landfilling. Results show that landfilling natural fiber apparel waste has more environmental credit than synthetic fiber apparel, credited from landfill methane gas captured. Recycling cleaning wipes has the highest impact benefits, followed by cotton fiber, insulation material, and polyester raw material recycling. Increased collection of apparel by recyclers can significantly reduce environmental impact.

Designing for circular fashion: integrating upcycling into conventional garment manufacturing processes

Reet Aus et al.

Summary: The paper summarizes a more than 5-year practice-led study on the use of upcycling design and production methods in garment mass production. It discusses the efficiency of upcycling design approach by analyzing the generation and potential use of various types of fabric leftovers from garment manufacturing. The study shows that upcycling can significantly reduce fabric waste in industrial garment production.

Design of composite insulation panels containing 100% recycled cotton fibers and polyethylene/polypropylene packaging wastes

Hande Sezgin et al.

Summary: This study aims to produce high value-added composite materials by combining waste denim fabric and polypropylene/polyethylene bottle caps for commercial support materials. The developed textile-based composite panels offer improved thermal and acoustic insulation properties, with sound transmission loss up to 8 dB and thermal resistance value up to 0.11 m(2)degrees C/W. Further research is needed to test and develop the flame retardant property for insulation applications.
