| Sumario: | To utilize spinning wastages and convert into a value-added product, different blends of fiber reclaimed from yarn waste and rags/fabric clippers were made with different soft wastages. Theses fibers were converted into open end yarn. Fiber reclaimed from yarn waste had superior properties than fiber from rugs in term of fiber length, uniformity %age and floating fiber %age which are 8% and 8.95% and 12% respectively. Yarn produced from blended waste yarn sample have less yarn irregularities and better tensile strength properties than of rag waste blended yarn. Among, soft wastages, liker-in waste fiber in yarn showed better results as compared to card fly and ring ac fan. A cost comparison was made which showed that the cost of yarn produced from fibers extracted from rag is cheaper than yarn-waste. Statistical evaluation of fiber and yarn properties was conducted using ANOVA statistical approach. A Tukey HSD provided the level of significance of the relationship between the waste types and the fiber and yarn properties at α value of 0.05. These recycled yarns can be used for manufacturing higher quality textile products like denim, chino cloth for trousers and towel. Cost with recycled content is potentially beneficial in terms of resource depletion and waste minimization strategy. |
