 PROPOSED TITLE

“DEVELOPMENT OF DIVERSIFIED PRODUCT

FROM HOUSEHOLD APPAREAL WASTE”
 INTRODUCTION
 Apparel and textile industry is a one of the most ancient and an established industry.

 Due to advancement in technologies there is huge production of textiles and production is

always associated with some form of pollution and waste.

 The fashion industry is known for its un-sustainability with rapid changing trends, high
risk and planned obsolescence, contributing millions of tons of waste clothing to landfill,
destruction and dumping.

 Fabric is a great resource and used fabric in clothing has so many possibilities for being
reused again . By saving old clothes and turning them into something else which can be
used in a different way .

 Reutilization of household apparel waste and converting them into something unique also
helps in increasing its lifespan
 Cont.
Whenever someone throws away any type of cloth it almost takes
200+ years to get decomposes in the landfill which leads in
generating of methane gases and other toxic chemicals into the
ground water and soil.

 an estimated 92 million tonnes i.e. 87% of clothing waste is dumped

into landfills globally

Hence its important for everyone to know the 3R’s which will help in
various ways .
 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

  REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The following headings have been used to present the literature review:
 Utilization of household apparel waste
 Designing of household apparel waste
 Skill development through training program.

1. UTILIZATION OF HOUSEHOLD APPAREL WASTE

 Sharma and Goel (2017) conducted a study on Development of Nonwoven Fabric from
Recycled Fibers. Recycling is a way to process, the used materials (waste) into new products to
prevent waste of potentially useful materials. Household apparel waste recycling becomes
more important phenomenon; bearing in mind the limited availability of resources to produce
natural fibers as well as fossil raw materials to make synthetic fibers. Recycled household apparel
waste can be further converted in the form of fiber for filling, recycled yarn, recycled woven
fabric, recycled nonwoven fabrics etc. Therefore the present study has been conducted to
prepare nonwoven fabric by using recycled cotton and polyester fibers.
 
 CONT.
 Sandin and Peter (2018) conducted a study on Environmental impact of textile reuse and recycling - A
review This paper reviews studies of the environmental impact of textile reuse and recycling, to provide a
summary of the current knowledge and point out areas for further research. Forty-one studies were reviewed,
whereof 85% deal with recycling and 41% with reuse (27% cover both reuse and recycling). Fibre recycling is the
most studied recycling type (57%), followed by polymer/oligomer recycling (37%), monomer recycling (29%),
and fabric recycling (14%). Cotton (76%) and polyester (63%) are the most studied materials. The reviewed
publications provide strong support for claims that textile reuse and recycling in general reduce environmental
impact compared to incineration and landfilling, and that reuse is more beneficial than recycling. In terms of
critical methodological assumptions, authors most often assume that textiles sent to recycling are wastes free of
environmental burden, and that reused products and products made from recycled materials replace products made
from virgin fibers. Examples of other content mapped in the review are: trends of publications over time, common
aims and geographical scopes, commonly included and omitted impact categories, available sources of primary
inventory data, knowledge gaps and future research needs. The latter include the need to study cascade systems, to
explore the potential of combining various reuse and recycling routes.
 2. DESIGNING OF HOUSEHOLD APPAREL WASTE

Kaur and Kaur (2015) The investigation entitled development of jewellery from solid
waste was carried out in Ludhiana city. The data was collected from 90 respondents
between the age group of 17-25 years through purposive random sampling from three
colleges of Ludhiana city. Majority of the respondents, i.e. 87.78 per cent were aware of
jewellery developed from solid waste and 64.44 per cent were interested to reusing in
whereas, 66.67 per cent of the respondents were interested in purchasing jewellery. Most
of the solid waste was collected by the investigator.

 
 CONT.

Gupta and Gupta (2016) reported a study on Development of textile products from post-consumer waste.
Indian textile industry is not only the oldest industry in the country but also one of the major industries
providing employment and fetching foreign exchange for country. It caters to the most essential consumer
needs such as draperies, carpets, rugs and other textile products. While the textile industry has a long history
of being thrifty with its resources, a large proportion of unnecessary waste is still produced each year.
Therefore research work is necessary in this field to demonstrate the potential viability of innovative
application of waste fabric for the development of textile products from post-consumer waste. For the study,
waste fabrics were collected from pilibhit, districts. Total three product were developed from waste fabric then
consumer acceptability were assessed and found that majority of the respondents preferred the developed
products.
 3. SKILL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TRAINING PROGRAMME
Verma (2015) performed research on the difficulties facing rural women entrepreneurs and skill development.
Women have traditionally been seen as the foundation of a country and the ones who shape its future. In any community,
the role and status of women serve as a barometer of civilization. In 2011, women made up 48.46% of the country's overall
population. Even though they make up half of the population in India, women's productive labour does not legally account
for one third of the labour force. Women now make up 65.46 percent of the population who are literate, up from 54.28
percent in 2001. This is encouraging for the growth of female entrepreneurship. Today's women are capable of analysing,
organising, and mobilising the environment for social change. Women are growing in their ability to lead and employ
technical abilities as a result of participating in social activities. Recently, the service sector has been very important in
giving women job options. In addition, numerous initiatives have been launched to support female entrepreneurs in urban
and semi-urban areas. However, it has been noted that women from rural backgrounds are able to launch business units in
those sectors where they excel. In order to demonstrate their competence in fields of entrepreneurship like cottage
industries, handcraft production, etc., rural women need greater opportunities for skill development. Women who do not
feel comfortable to work in their houses, uses their core competency by becoming entrepreneurs. The present study is based
on the secondary data with regard of need of women's skill development. An attempt has been made to know what are the
hurdles which rural women face to achieve skill development at all fronts.

Babel and Sharma (2016) reported a study on Impact of skill development training among rural women for
entrepreneurship development. The present study was undertaken with objective to develop an intervention package
for skill development, to impart training among rural women for entrepreneurship development and to assess the
effectiveness of training. A purposive random sample of 30 respondents was selected from Griva Tehsil of village
Badgaon, Udaipur district of Rajasthan Skill training was imparted at their own village. Majority of respondents
belonged to the age group of 20-30. The five value added jute article selected by the respondents were belt, phone
mat, book holder, photo frame and jute painting out of list of 20 jute articles for training. Eight days skill
development training programme was organized and demonstration method was used.
