Impact of Using Preconsumer Cotton Waste on Yarn and Fabric Quality
Original language description
This study explores and discusses the fiber quality from pre-production cotton waste, spun using rotor technology, on fabrics for use in home textiles or denim. The shortage of primary cotton on the market and changes in cotton quality due to organic farming have prompted producers to find optimal ways to recover cotton from waste. However, the reuse of cotton fibers from cotton waste is limited due to fiber quality degradation. Specific cleaning channels C and A on the Rieter R 37 were used to compare the effect of contamination on the quality of the final products. The quality of fibers, yarns, and fabrics in the gray state and after bleaching was analyzed, and the influence of fiber contamination was evaluated. The yarn spun in cleaning channel C was of comparable quality to that spun in cleaning channel A but with better fiber utilization at the expense of contamination. No significant degradation of the final treated fabric was observed. Fabric contamination, mainly due to seed coat fragments, correlated with contamination levels in yarn spun from different fiber blends and decreased as the treatment process progressed.
