Recycling of textile wastes produced in a textile business by a green approach

The textile industry is one of the most important industries in the world and Turkey, energy has become one of the areas where intensive work with the intensification of environmental processes and the waste it generates. Cotton, one of the basic raw materials of textile production, is a natural fiber with significant environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle. One of the most effective methods to minimize these environmental effects is recovery. In addition to reducing the environmental impact of cotton, it has become an increasingly important fiber in terms of costs as well as being a natural and valuable raw material. In this study; the ring production processes in which 100% cotton yarn production was carried out in one operation were taken and samples were taken from the waste regions formed during the processes. Preliminary trials and characteristic fiber properties of the receiving samples were determined primarily. Experiments on production of OE-Rotor and ring spinning systems were performed and the performance characteristics of yarns were investigated. In the next step; woven fabrics were produced and the performance characteristics of the fabrics were tested. In addition, recycling yarn production processes were followed from the waste, life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis of waste recovery methods was performed and environmental impact assessments were carried out. Textile waste recovered in Turkey for many years and the infrastructure is an important information on this subject is also available. But the most important problems of the cotton sector recovery in Turkey, thick and of low qualit, added value is less than the lower yarn production and product variety. In recent years, waste/waste recovery has gained a new dimension in the world and the acquisition of high value-added products from wastes has gained importance. This study will shed light on other and development for more fine and high quality yarn and product production.
