[0021] The present invention discloses a method for synthesizing yarn from biodegradable waste presents a comprehensive approach to sustainable textile production by transforming organic waste materials into high-quality yarn. The process begins with the collection and processing of various types of biodegradable waste.
[0022] FIG. 1 illustrates a flow chart of the method (100) for synthesizing yarn from biodegradable waste, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] At operation 102, collecting and processing different types of waste by using shredding, sorting, and treatment techniques. It involves collecting various types of waste materials, which may include agricultural waste, food waste, or plant-based by-products. The collected waste subjected to mechanical processing, such as shredding and sorting, to break down the materials into smaller, manageable pieces and to separate the usable components from non-biodegradable or unsuitable materials. Treatment techniques may include washing or drying processes to prepare the waste for fiber extraction and ensures that only biodegradable materials are retained for fiber extraction, while non-biodegradable and harmful substances are removed. Proper sorting and preparation are crucial to achieving high-quality fiber from waste materials.
[0024] At operation 104, treating sorted waste with different microbial cultures, mechanical methods, and enzymatic methods to extract fiber. A combination of biological, mechanical, and chemical methods may be used. Microbial cultures and enzymatic treatments play a key role in breaking down the waste materials into fibers by accelerating the decomposition of organic matter while preserving the fibrous structure. Mechanical methods, such as grinding or sieving, may also be employed to separate and extract the fibers from the decomposed waste.
[0025] At operation 106, treating the extracted fiber using biodegradable binding agents to enhance strength and durability. After extracting the fibers, treating with biodegradable binding agents to improve their strength, durability, and overall quality. These binding agents, which are also eco-friendly, serve to reinforce the fibers and ensure that the resulting yarn can withstand various mechanical stresses, such as stretching or abrasion. The use of biodegradable agents ensures that the environmental sustainability of the process is maintained, as the yarn remains biodegradable throughout its lifecycle.
[0026] At operation 108, subjecting the fiber to tensile strength tests, abrasion resistance tests, and environmental degradation tests to evaluate the biodegradability of the yarn under different conditions. This involves testing the treated fibers to ensure they meet the required standards for durability and biodegradability. The fibers undergo tensile strength tests to measure how much force they can withstand before breaking, abrasion resistance tests to evaluate how well they perform under friction, and environmental degradation tests to assess how they degrade under various environmental conditions, such as exposure to sunlight, water, or soil.
[0027] At operation 110, packaging the fiber with labeling focused on the environmental benefits and sustainability of the products. The yarn may be packaged with labeling that emphasizes its environmental benefits. The labeling highlights the sustainability of the product, its biodegradable nature, and its contribution to reducing textile waste. This step ensures transparency to consumers and promotes the adoption of eco-friendly textiles by informing users about the environmental advantages of the yarn.
[0028] It should be noted that the method for synthesizing yarn from biodegradable waste thereof in any case could undergo numerous modifications and variants, all of which are covered by the same innovative concept; moreover, all of the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements. In practice, the components used, as well as the numbers, shapes, and sizes of the components can be of any kind according to the technical requirements. The scope of protection of the invention is therefore defined by the attached claims. , Claims:WE CLAIM:
