“…By 2050, textile production is expected to consume 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels and contribute 26% of carbon emissions. 2,3 Reducing use of new raw materials and turning these wastes into new products offer many benefits such as lower carbon dioxide emission during the landfilling, reduced natural resources consumption, reduced waste disposal, and longer product life. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The two most common forms of recycled synthetics are recycled polyester and recycled polyamide.…”

Due to the decrease in natural resources all over the world and the increase in global CO2 emissions, which make the biggest contribution to global warming and climate change, the use of recycled materials has gained great importance in the textile industry, as in other application areas. Reducing the use of new raw materials and producing products from old raw materials not only minimizes environmental impacts such as lower CO2 emissions during the landfilling, reduced consumption of natural resources, reduced waste disposal, but also reduces costs and provides a longer product life. This study investigates the effect of recycled polyester fiber on the performance/quality properties of swimwear fabrics. Swimwear fabric samples were produced from 100% recycled polyester, 50% recycled polyester/50% polyamide, 100% polyester and 100% polyamide, and tested in terms of bursting strength, seam strength, abrasion resistance, air permeability and color fastness properties.
