- Abstract
Within the framework of the European Green Deal, a circular economy model was adopted. It is necessary to investigate the recycling possibilities of the wastes produced during the production of residual products. Wastes can be classified in the textile industry as fiber, yarn, fabric waste, and postconsumer waste of the product in terms of raw materials. Before consumer use, wastes produced from raw materials are known as pre-consumer wastes, and wastes produced after use are known as postconsumer wastes. Both pre-consumer and post-consumer wastes can be recycled and used at certain rates in the production of new textile products. In this way, the waste of textile products before and after use is recycled and contributes to the environmental ecology. This study covers the recycling of 100% acrylic yarn waste, which is pre-consumer waste, by mechanical method and reuse in acrylic yarn production. For this purpose, Ne 20/1 yarns were produced with the same production parameters by blending acrylic fiber recycled from waste yarn with acrylic virgin fiber at 20%, 30%, and 40% ratios. Furthermore, a sample was produced from virgin acrylic fiber for investigation. The tenacity, elongation, unevenness, IPI, and hairiness properties of these produced yarns were determined. Single jersey fabrics were produced by using these yarns in an SDL ATLAS sample knitting machine. Fabric weight, course per cm, wale per cm, air permeability, bursting strength, bursting height, and pilling properties were analyzed. Test results show that the blend ratio of recycled acrylic fiber has a significant effect on yarn properties. On the other hand, it was found that this parameter has no significant effect on fabric properties.
