  1. 1. Greening the thread : A comparative study of design processes to reduce microplastic shedding in Swedish textile companies

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Författare :Stina Victorsson; Sonya Reynolds; [2023]
    Nyckelord :The textile industry; Sustainability; Microplastic shedding; Sustainable design processes; Triple bottom line; Circular economy; Swedish textile companies;

    Sammanfattning : Purpose – This study aims to gain an increased understanding of how textile companies perceive opportunities and challenges in reducing microplastic shedding in the design process. Specifically, the thesis compares and analyses two distinct textile companies with diverse business approaches. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Development and Optimization of Near-infrared spectroscopy

    M1-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Författare :Amanda Hahlin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Near-infrared spectroscopy; NIRS; Textile sorting; Principal component analysis; PCA; Post-consumer end-of-life textiles;

    Sammanfattning : With the growing demand for sustainable options, the existing sorting capacities are limiting the potential for fiber-to-fiber recycling. With the help of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), automated sorting of textiles with high accuracy is possible due to the easy access for polymer identification. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Towards a More Circular Post-Consumer Textile Waste Management

    Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Jeni Jasmin Särmäkari; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Circular Economy; Post-Consumer Textile Waste; Reuse; Recycling; Clothing Industry; Business and Economics;

    Sammanfattning : There has been a substantial increase in demand for textile and clothing with huge implications for post-consumer textile waste management systems. The current ‘buy-and-throw-away’ culture has led to larger quantities of textile and clothing ending up in landfills and incineration than before. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Understanding consumers’ perception of the end-of-life of a garment : Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior to consumers’ disposal intention

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Författare :Larissa Enderle; Carla Leonie Schiele; [2021]
    Nyckelord :End-of-life Phase; Theory of Planned Behavior; Consumer Behavior; Garment Disposal; Linear Value Chain;

    Sammanfattning : Purpose The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate consumers’ perceptions of the end-of-life stage of a garment. Overall, the objective is to determine influencing factors that impact consumers’ disposal decisions to conceive a better understanding of post-purchase consumer behavior and formulate implications for both business and society.

  7. 5. A novel and feasible material recycling technique for end-of-life textiles as All-Cellulose Composites (ACCs)

    Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Författare :Belinda Johansson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :all-cellulose composites; end-of-life textiles; denim fabrics; ionic liquid; mechanical properties; sustainability;

    Sammanfattning : Today’s consumption of textiles generates a large volume of textile waste. Therefore, it is needed to find solutions to re-use the textile waste rather recycling fibers into new fibers. Research using pre- and post-consumer textiles in composites is ongoing and an interesting direction. LÄS MER
