| Abstract | ||
| Waste is a substantial global resource that affects the environment and human health. The clothing and textile sector generates a tremendous amount of waste, ending in landfills; this significantly affects the environment and the economy due to insufficient recycling practices. Fabric scraps can be reused or recycled to produce innovative products with high-added value to promote sustainability and preserve the environment. Recycling fabric scraps is environmentally friendly and promotes social and economic development through innovative waste-handling practices. This study reduces garment waste and achieves sustainability through circular economy principles in the Department of Home Economics at the Faculty of Women, Ain Shams University. The study uses intermediate materials – Tulle, Organza, and Water-soluble stabilizers – to upcycle fabric remnants and yarn leftovers into novel recycled fabrics used in seven applications. A two-part questionnaire was utilized to gather specialist and customer feedback about the suggested applications: the first is a three-axis evaluation of recycled fabric products (economic, functional, and aesthetic aspects), and the second is a two-axis evaluation of recycled fabric method (environment and sustainable development, and economic aspect). With an average acceptance rate of at least 91.5%, the findings of the response analysis on the first part of the questionnaire indicated that the proposed strategy is economically, functionally, and aesthetically acceptable. The second part of the study, which examined the recycling process, likewise showed that 98.46% of respondents admitted it for environmental and sustainable development. The high average acceptance rate, 97.80%, reflects the economic importance of the proposed method. | ||
