ABSTRACT
Ready-made clothing collections are generally prepared with textile structures obtained by recycling textile waste or pet bottles. In this project, AgraloopTM life was preferred, which will create a meaningful alternative to recycled life. Apart from these materials, AgraloopTM fiber encourages the creation of a very valuable asset in terms of transforming agricultural waste used in agriculture and pharmaceutical use, which is considered as worthless waste, into valuable fiber.
The massive increase in production puts enormous pressure on the world's natural resources. While access to clean water and available water resources are decreasing day by day, the usage needs of the world's natural life such as cotton are also increasing. While responding to natural life with fibres such as cotton, linen and hemp seems to be the simplest solution, it is necessary to look for other solutions to the problems caused by water leaks.
Various fabric designs were created using AgraloopTM fiber content yarns for the fabric structures designed for this project. “AgraloopTM Fabric Collection” has been prepared with fabrics structures designed in various shapes using AgraloopTM fiber obtained by recycling agricultural waste. In the prepared collection, a total of 7 different fabric constructions, one of which was a comparison fabric, were designed with three different yarns containing AgraloopTM distributed in various proportions. The comparison fabric is produced using 100% Cotton fiber.
The softening process was carried out by applying Perrustol® MMX finishing, which is obtained from completely sustainable and bondable raw materials, without compromising the natural structure of these designed fabrics.
The degree to which the fabrics in the collection have the expected fabric properties are measured and evaluated by fastness and physical tests applied to the fabrics.
