Researchers developed an alternative method to reduce energy costs and waste in the textile industry's moonwash process for knitted fabrics.
The study aimed to improve the moonwash method used on knitted fabrics by testing a new bleaching agent, AKR001. The goal was to reduce energy costs, working hours, and textile waste. The results showed that this alternative method has several advantages over the traditional moonwash method, contributing to a more sustainable textile industry.
Abstract
The textile industry is a sector that is constantly alive and growing, and the technologies and designs used in the sector are constantly developing. In recent years, there has been a great demand for products that look worn and faded paint. (Hacı et al., 2015) In order to obtain this image, bleaching techniques and washing techniques are used. This technique is extensively used on denim and knitted fabrics. (Technical Bulletin, 2000). In this study, it was aimed to reduce energy costs, working hours of workers and textile waste by testing the bleaching method with AKR001 on products made of knitted fabric, and the results were evaluated statistically. The advantages provided in this alternative study, which was developed instead of the traditional moonwash method, are interpreted in detail in the results section of the article. The current process developed will contribute to the change of the sector in terms of sustainability when considered in terms of environmental awareness and efficiency.
