Abstract

Although textile sector is one of the biggest consumer intensive sector, recycling and reclamation practices in this sector are not satisfactory. In this study, “cradle to grave” Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis is carried out for a textile product (i.e., the bathrobe). The life cycle stages of the product are explained in detail including the waste potential, energy usage and envrionmental effects of each stage. Findings of the study present that cotton fiber, which is the most commonly consumed natural fiber, is not so environmentaly friendly fiber as opposed to the expactations. Growing, manufacturing, consumer usage, and recovery stages of a 100% cotton bathrobe may cause some environmental effects. Study shows that recycling of waste generated by the production processes of a bathrobe is somewhat common; yet it cannot be said the same thing about the after use textiles

Özet

Tekstil ürünleri hayatımızın her alanında yer alması ve tüketiminin çok büyük oranlarda olmasına rağmen, tekstilde geri dönüşüm çalışmaları olması gerektiği kadar değildir. Tekstil üretiminde ortaya çıkan çevresel etkiler ve geri dönüşüm olanaklarının araştırıldığı bu çalışmada, tekstil ürünlerinden örnek olarak seçilen bornozun Yaşam Döngü Değerlendirmesi (YDD: LCA - Life Cycle Assessment) yapılarak, ürünün “doğumdan-mezara” ortaya çıkardığı atık, fire ve telefler incelenmiş, çevreyle etkileşimi incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, doğal bir elyaf olan pamuk elyafı kullanılarak yapılmış olan bir bornozun, yaşamı boyunca yarattığı çevresel etkiler değerlendirildiğinde düşünüldüğü kadar çevre dostu olmadığı görülmüştür. Pamuklu tekstil üretim sürecinde ortaya çıkan atıkların kısmen değerlendirilebildiği öte yandan kullanılmış tekstil ürünlerinin ise geri dönüşümünde daha fazla yol alınması gerektiği belirlenmiştir
