Evaluation of Sustainable Washing Processes for Fashionable Effects in Denim
Abstract
Sustainability has become an important issue in every sector today. Effective use of resources is an issue that needs to be emphasized at the global level. Since denim washing processes consume a lot of water, energy, chemicals and time, sustainable processes in this area have gained importance. Various denim washing processes developed in terms of effective use of resources for sustainable methods are applied. Practices may be aimed at reducing water consumption, or may be related to more sustainable chemical consumption. In addition, situations where the process is shortened, waste is reduced or water free processes can come to the fore can also contribute to sustainability. The effects of sustainable processes on fabric properties should also be considered. In this study, denim fabrics with fashionable fading and bleaching effects by different methods were used. Abrasion resistance and bending rigidity properties of denim fabrics with effects obtained by conventional and sustainable methods were investigated comparatively. The results obtained show that among the sustainable processes in the study, there are preferable processes in terms of bending rigidty and abrasion resistance properties.
