Utilization of denim fabric waste for creating new garments, ecological and technological approach

The textile industry is one of the largest waste-generating sectors worldwide. In particular, the production of garments from denim fabric results in a significant amount of excess cuttings and unused fabric pieces. The problem of recycling such waste is relevant not only in terms of economic efficiency but also from an environmental protection perspective. This article analyzes ecological and technological approaches to creating new sewing products from denim fabric waste. During the study, the physical and mechanical properties of denim waste were examined, and experiments on recycling and practical applications were carried out. When designing and sewing new clothing models, the durability, aesthetic appearance, and market compliance of recycled fabric samples were evaluated. The results showed that garments, accessories, and decorative items made from denim waste are not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly and represent a creative design approach. The article also provides practical recommendations for the further development of this direction.
