Biomaterialele – o alternativă sustenabilă în domeniul industriei textile

Abstract

The evolution of sustainable biomaterials is largely a response to the need of reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry, one of the planet's biggest polluters. It is known that the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global annual carbon emissions. Sustainable materials are mandatory if we want to turn the fashion industry into a sustainable industry. The paper presents the results of applications for obtaining biomaterials-sustainable alternative in the fashion industry. The aim of the study is determined by the excessive pollution of the environment by the garment industry. The study includes theoretical aspects, general notions, definitions, classifications, as well as applications for obtaining bioplastic samples. The purpose of the work is to find a bio alternative for the manufacture of textiles. For this purpose, I created 6 samples of bioplastic, subsequently evaluated visually and tactilely. As further directions of research it is proposed to test the samples obtained in the laboratory to determine the physical, mechanical, hygienic-functional and appearance properties.
