“…Relatedly, mending clothing has transformed from necessity to option (Twigger Holroyd, 2016) as there is really no driver towards repairing items when replacements can be bought cheaply and with little effort by the consumer (Gibson & Stanes, 2011). Sending clothing for repair may also be considered too expensive, especially in comparison to the cost of buying new (Goworek, Fisher, Cooper, Woodward, & Hiller, 2012; Laitala, Austgulen, & Klepp, 2014). Furthermore, Palmsköld (2015) argues that clothing today is of such low quality that it is unsuitable for the mending required to “sustain a long life” (p. 36).…”

Clothing waste is an increasing global problem as "disposable" fashion items are consumed and discarded at rapid rates. Low-quality fashion garments are easily damaged and thrown out due to the low initial investment and replacement cost of other items. Previous research has found physical damage to be a common reason for clothing disposal; however, the degree to which damage plays a role in disposal decisions has not been studied. Therefore, using a survey-based, pre-experimental design, this research examined the extent to which varying levels of garment physical damage influences consumer disposal decisions and garment life extension practices in Edmonton, Canada. Results indicated that damage severity plays a significant role in how respondents choose to dispose, or otherwise deal with, their unwanted clothing. Garment quality and type were also shown to predict disposal method and end-oflife extension strategies.

“…Furthermore, at Textile Exchange, our objective is to assist the industry in diminishing greenhouse gas emissions from fiber and raw material production by 45% by the year 2030 . Globally, 3% of greenhouse gas emissions emanate from the production and utilization of textiles . Textiles are conjectured to constitute a modest proportion of waste, yet the potential impact on climate change per unit weight of production is remarkably substantial .…”

The deficiency in efficient and cost-effective methodologies for the dissociation of dyes from polymers and the segregation of fibers within blended textiles impedes the widespread recycling of textile materials on a grand scale. We specialize in the direct, clean, economically viable, and ecologically sound interfiber recycling of colored waste polyamide 6/polyurethane (PU) (CPA6/ PU) blended textiles. In this research, a commercially available and cost-effective alkali catalyst were utilized to illustrate a unique methodology for recovering CPA6/PU blended textiles containing a variety of dyes. The product evolution of solvent-free alkali-catalyzed closed depolymerization (SACD) of CPA6/PU blended textiles was monitored in real time at 320 °C using pyrolysis gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The solvent-free alkalicatalyzed depolymerization (SAD) of CPA6/PU blended textiles with different compositions was systematically investigated by combining various analytical tools such as liquid chromatography−MS and GC−MS. This holistic approach mitigates the ambiguity induced by a solitary testing method and elucidates the authentic depolymerization product. Additionally, preliminary verification was conducted on the factors that influence the production rate of regenerated ε-caprolactam (rCPL). The depolymerization process is distinguished by its straightforward operation, environmental friendliness, efficiency, convenient product packaging, high yield (approximately 80.2%), high purity (around 97.85%), automated decolorization, and automatic separation of PU constituents. To date, no economically sustainable and environmentally conscientious method has been demonstrated for the direct extraction of rCPL monomer from CPA6/PU blended textiles, encompassing a variety of dyes, without segregating the PU while concurrently achieving decolorization.

“…Literatürde hızlı moda akımı, sürdürülebilir bir akım olmadığı için eleştirilmektedir (Özdamar-Ertekin & Atik, 2015). Bunun yanı sıra, sürdürülebilirlik sorunlarına dair ulusal ve uluslararası çapta hukuki düzenlemelerin yetersiz oluşu, bu konudaki asıl sorumluluğun tüketicilere yüklenmesine sebep olmaktadır (Laitala et al, 2014). Tüketicilerin endüstri kaynaklı sorunları çözmede kendilerini sorumlu hissetmeleri halinde, sorunlara dair kaygılarının arttığı yönünde bulgular mevcuttur (Heo & Muralidharan, 2019).…”

Mevcut üretimin ve tüketimin sürdürülebilir olmadığına dair kamuoyu kaygısı artmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, sürdürülebilirlik sorunlarına dair küresel ölçekte düzenlemelerin yetersiz oluşu, bu konudaki sorumluluğun tüketicilere yüklenmesine sebep olmaktadır. Ancak, bazı tüketiciler kaygılarına rağmen sürdürülebilir markalardan alışveriş yapmakta zorlanmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, giyim endüstrisinin çevre ve çalışanlar üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerine yönelik tüketicilerin kaygı seviyelerini artırabilecek faktörler incelenmiştir. Online anket yöntemi ile Türkiye’de 372 hızlı moda tüketicisinden veri elde edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre tüketici kaygısı, sorunlara yönelik sosyal medya paylaşımlarına maruz kalma, sorunların varlığına dair inanç ve algılanan bilgi ile artmaktadır. Ayrıca, Türkiye’de ilerleyen yaş ile bu sorunlara yönelik kaygının azaldığı gözlenmiştir.
