“…The other novelty concerns the raw material used to produce fashion items in terms of type of fiber: polyester has scaled cotton, becoming the most used fabric since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Garments made of 100% polyester are relatively easy to reconvert into reusable materials [63]. In parallel, the use of mixed fibers, cotton-acrylic or cotton-elastane, are very difficult to recycle and therefore end up swelling the already filled undifferentiated dumps of the world [64].…”

“…Very different is the case of mixtures with natural fiber, for example, cotton and polyester. These mixes, to date, are essentially non-recyclable due to the fact that these two components cannot be separated at low cost [63]. Some countries, like the Philippines and India, have closed the imports of second-hand clothes, in order to protect the local textile industry [64].…”

The significant changes which have occurred in the competitive scenario in which fashion companies operate, combined with deep transformation in the lifestyles of final consumers, translate into the need to redefine the business models. Starting from a general overview of the emerging trends today affecting the fashion industry, the paper will devote particular attention to the analysis of the most important phenomena that are influencing this market and the drivers for long-lasting competitiveness: sustainability and attention to the so-called circular economy. According to the literature, from the consumer behavior's point of view, the younger generations are paying growing attention to these issues. In light of these considerations, this paper aimed to analyze how sustainability and circular economy principles are influencing the perception of the fashion world among the new generations of consumers. After mapping the emerging trends in the fashion industry and analyzing the role of sustainability from both the demand and supply side, this paper presents the results of a survey conducted through an anonymous questionnaire made in collaboration with Insubria University. The results of the survey describe the students' behaviour as regards fashion's emerging trends, with particular attention to sustainability issues and the application of circular economy principles. The survey results were analyzed from both a descriptive and quantitative point of view with the aim to check the different perceptions as regards sustainable fashion and circular economy in fashion, focusing mainly on the so-called Generation Z. The results of the analysis proved to be consistent with the theoretical framework and confirm the relevance of sustainability issues in the fashion industry today in driving the demand of Generation Z, by considering a gender perspective. Moreover, the circular economy is descriptively analyzed with the aim to understand the relevance of the different facets for the entire sample of respondents.

Wool geotextiles were formed from the meandrically arranged thick ropes and used as erosion control products. The geotextiles were installed in the experimental sites to protect the endangered slopes and the bank of ditches. Additionally, as a reinforcement of the soil, loose wool fibres were applied. The progress of wool biodegradation on the slope was investigated. Changes in the outer appearance, mechanical parameters, molecular structure and fibre morphology were analysed. Moreover, the nitrogen content in the soil and the effect of compounds released into soil on the grass growth were studied. The measurements revealed that the biodegradation starts at the cleavage of disulphide bonds, followed by disruption of the peptide bonds. Degradation is initiated in the outer cuticle and is followed by the decomposition of the inner cortical cells. During biodegradation, the nitrogen-rich compounds are released. The compounds act as an effective fertiliser which supports the growth of grass and significantly accelerates the greening of the slope.

“…Utilization of recycled fibers in nonwoven production technologies especially in needlepunching method has been commonly preferred by researchers for practicality and cost effectiveness. Since tensile properties of the end product is one of the major parameters for durability of the fabrics, regardless of the area in which the fabric will be used, researchers have studied on the assessment of mechanical strength and durability performances of nonwoven fabrics consisting of original and recycled fiber blends for several applications [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Radetic et al (2003) worked on needle-punched nonwovens consisting of recycled wool and polyester fibers from the second hand knitted products.…”

“…The interior of these structures is filled with wool fibers, pieces cut from woolen nonwovens and shredded textile waste. The outer surface is in the form of a knitted sheath structure and is formed by using sisal and cotton strings [19]. In their study, Fangueiro et al (2011), obtained needlepunched nonwoven fabrics using polypropylene, polyester and acrylic fibers in 5 different weights in order to examine the effect of mass per unit area on tensile and puncture strength they also realized the use of a 100% polypropylene plain woven reinforcing fabric to form a hybrid structure with nonwoven fabrics.…”

Utilization of recycled fibers in nonwovens has been an attractive issue for researchers considering environmental and economic benefits. In this study blanket trimmings and mechanically recycled fibers were blended and softly needle-punched to be used as interlayers of traditional needle-punched nonwovens. The outer layers from polypropylene (at four different mass per unit areas), from recycled polyester (at four different mass per unit areas), from mechanically recycled fibers (at three mass per unit areas) and the control groups were produced by classical needle-punching at two needle-punch densities. The recycled interlayers consisting of blanket trimmings and mechanically recycled fibers and are then fixed by needle-punching again, between the two twin layers of needle-punched nonwovens of those three types of raw materials. Control groups did not include the recycled interlayers. Hence, three layered end products were obtained. Tensile characteristics of the end products were evaluated in terms inter layer ratio of the end products, raw material type of outer layers and needle-punching density through standard test methods. The results were statistically analyzed in SPSS 23.0-One way ANOVA. In the conclusion, blanket trimmings were successfully entangled to the end products as interlayers and it was observed that the strength of the nonwovens decrease with the higher recycled interlayer ratio and increase with needle-punch density.
