Management and Characterization of Textile Solid Waste in a Local Productive Arrangement

Abstract

The present research has the objective of identifying the characterization and management of textile solid waste generated in clothing manufacturing within a local productive arrangement (LPA) in Brazil. The importance of this research consists in the data presentation and survey which indicate the scenario of textile solid waste, enabling the promotion of appropriate and sustainable management actions for these materials. Thus it is exploratory research with a qualitative and quantitative approach. After analysing the data, the main characteristics, dimensions and management practices of textile solid waste in these industries are presented. The research results point out a considerable amount of textile solid waste that is generated and appropriate practices for the management of such waste. Nevertheless there is a need for improvement of this process aiming at enhancement opportunities of the materials mentioned as raw material in the development of the same products or other segments, in order to promote sustainable action.

A United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals perspective for sustainable textile and apparel supply chain management

“… Wickramasinghe and Perera (2016) examine the productivity problem in the TA manufacturing and show that total productive maintenance positively affects manufacturing performances, such as reducing the costs, enhancing the product quality, and so on. Pinheiro and de Francisco (2016) study the situation of the textile solid waste produced in clothing manufacturing in Brazil. The authors suggest reusing the raw materials to promote sustainable practices.…”

Experimental Study and Effect on Recycled Fibers Blended with Rotor/OE Yarns for the Production of Handloom Fabrics and Their Properties

“…It is defined as the proportions of fibers, threads, bits, and remains of fabric in a specimen of 3-10 g of the blend of reclaimed fibers, depending on the proportion of unopened pieces (by manual separation), in units of mass per cent. e proportion of fiber and thread can be added with virgin fiber where the material is processed by means of the handloom process in order to make handloom fabrics [9]. Figures 1(a) and 1(b) show garment cutting wastes sorted by color.…”
