Abstract:
Textile industry consumes huge amount of natural resources and produces waste enormously. The industry needs to move towards circularity. Therefore, there is a need to have better understanding of the physio-mechanical properties of circular textile materials. The article describes the properties of 20 different bio-based and circular textile materials and compares these results in the properties of non-circular materials, thus identifies the differences and similarities in the physio-mechanical characteristics. The publication consists the results of the testing of 20 different innovative and reformed bio-based and circular materials. The results are compared to the non-circular similar materials, so called control samples. The testing pattern covers several material property tests: tensile properties (breaking strength, ultimate elongation, tensile breaking force), folding, creasing and dimensional changes due to washing and drying as well as resistance to surface wetting, drying properties and burning behavior.
