Implementing Sustainable Thinking and Acting into Design- and Textile Education-A Holistic and Interdisciplinary Learning Model-Crimson Publishers

Implementing Sustainable Thinkingand Acting into Design- and Textile Education-A Holistic and InterdisciplinaryLearning Model by Carolin Ermer* in Trends in Textile Engineering & FashionTechnology

The textile and clothing industry in Germany is the second largest consumer goods industry after the food industry with an annual turnover of 27 billion Euros (see BMWI 2017). Germans buy an average of about 28kg of textiles per year and it gets more and more [1]. In the course of this development of the associated so- called "fast fashion", the clothing industry is increasingly becoming involved in innumerable ecological, economic and social grievances and disasters in the countries of manufacture. Such as, for example, the collapse of the Rana Plaza in 2013 in Bangladesh, which Killed over 1,000 people and injured more than 2,000 [2]. The Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) describes this event as "the worst ever industrial accident to hit the garment industry" (Ibid. 2016).

In this study, the interactive effect of twist multiplier of weft yarn, denier elastane fibre and fabric areal density on performance of denim fabric was investigated. The denier of elastane fibre used with weft yarn of three different twist multiplier- 4.9, 5.2 and 5.5, is changed as 40D, 55D and 70D. The areal density of fabric is changed through change in picks per inch as 50, 55 and 60. Performance was analysed on the basis of results of breaking streng...
