Sustainable Denim Design Using Giza Cotton
Abstract
Designing denim fabrics that will have a longer wear life by combining Giza cotton, one of the best cottons in the world, with yarn technology, without using any reinforced synthetic fibers. Giza cotton will be used in the products to be developed specifically for the project. High strength yarns will be obtained with the fiber length of Giza cotton and the appropriate twist value to be applied. It is aimed that the fabrics produced from these threads will have a longer lifespan than normal cotton threads. One of the most important steps for the continuity of sustainable production will be that the produced product is recyclable and can be used for a longer time. In this way, a significant decrease in the carbon and water footprint resulting from production will be achieved. The environmental impact of production will be minimized.
