Development of Bonded Fabric using Non- Biodegradable Waste for Developing Consumer Products

摘要

Plastic wastes present formidable problems as they are not biodegradable, are bulky, can resist incineration and this create environmental disasters. The study was carried development of monded fabric using non-biodegradable waste for developing consumer products. Finding of the study revealed that developed bonded fabrics of 200-300 GSM was suitable for the development of consumer products requiring more thickness, stiffness and bursting strength. On the other hand, the developed bonded fabrics of 100-200 GSM was found more suitable for developing consumer products of general use on account of less stiffness and other related properties. Majority of the respondents appreciated developed value added consumer products.
