Increasing sustainability in the fashion industry by using industrial textile waste in an original design fashion collection.

One way to ensure sustainability is through the creation of individualized fashion products by applying original design solutions and utilizing industrial textile waste. The aim of this project is to analyze fashion design and manufacturing technologies and select one that can be adapted for the use of industrial textile waste in the production of sustainable, high-performance fashion products. In this project, a mini-collection of dresses was developed, based on the application of bonding technology in dress design. A literature review was conducted, covering sustainability aspects of the fashion industry, garment production technologies, and the influence of various factors on the peel strength of bonded seams. In the experimental part of the work, the mechanical properties (strength, elongation, and bending stiffness) of the main fabric (A) and decorative fabrics (D1-D7) were evaluated. Additionally, the peel strength of bonded seams was analyzed before and after washing to determine the impact of fabric direction, adhesive film thickness, and washing on the peeling strength. Based on the research results, a mini-collection of dresses was created by integrating bonding technology into the design, while incorporating 2026 fashion and interior trends and the artistic principles of the 20th-century modernist artist Piet Mondrian.
