| Popis: | Environmental pollution threatens the life of the world nowadays. Increasing the world population, rapidly changing fashion trends, and marketing activities have caused serious increases in textile production and consumption. As the size of the production volume increases, the effects of the textile industry on the ecosystem are increased as well. Recycling is critical in textiles to use less energy, water, and chemicals and to pollute our environment less. The aim of this study to develop functional and high value-added upholstery fabrics by recycling textile wastes. In the scope of this study, the effects of wastes obtained from different sources and different recycling fiber ratios on fabric properties were investigated. Furthermore, fabrics containing recycled cotton wastes blended with polyester fiber were also included. First, the abrasion resistance test was carried out on the fabrics produced from these waste fibers, and the fabrics with the best performance for upholstery fabrics were determined, and then flame retardant, water repellency, and soil release finishing processes were applied to these fabrics. It was concluded that the flame retardant, water, and stain repellent upholstery fabrics from recycled fibers were successfully developed. Also, fabrics containing 15% recycled cotton fabrics obtained better results among the fabrics. |
