Özet:

 This study analyses the sustainability of cotton, wool and flaxhemp, which are the main natural textile materials, in the context of including ecology in modern textile technology. While the textile industry is associated with many environmental and social problems such as high-water consumption, toxic chemical use and labour exploitation, it has become a necessity to analyze natural-ecological materials on the basis of sustainability. Sustainable textile understanding is directly related not only to production processes but also to material selection, product lifetime and waste management. In this context, natural-ecological textile materials represent a concrete reflection of ecological approaches such as reduction of carbon footprint, use of renewable resources, content free from toxic substances. Together with modern textile technologies, these materials contribute to the formation of a sustainable structure in the sector by supporting innovative methods such as green chemistry applications, recycling techniques and low energy consumption. In this study, the importance of cotton, wool and flaxhemp, which are natural-ecological textile materials, in terms of sustainability has been analyzed in a multi-dimensional manner and the applicability and impact of ecological principles in modern textile technologies have been discussed through these examples. Thus, it is aimed to provide a guiding perspective for sustainable textiles at both environmental and social level. Another aim of the study is to increase the awareness of the textile industry to make it greener by touching on the current situation of the textile industry in terms of sustainability.

 Bu çalışma ile modern tekstil teknolojisinde ekolojiye yer verme bağlamında, başlıca doğal tekstil malzemeleri olan pamuk, yün ve ketenkenevirin sürdürülebilirliği analiz edilmektedir. Tekstil endüstrisi; yüksek su tüketimi, toksik kimyasal kullanımı ve iş gücü sömürüsü gibi pek çok çevresel ve sosyal sorunla ilişkilendirilirken, doğal-ekolojik malzemelerin sürdürülebilirlik temelinde analiz edilmesi artık zaruret haline gelmiştir. Sürdürülebilir tekstil anlayışı, yalnızca üretim süreçleriyle değil; aynı zamanda malzeme seçimi, ürünün kullanım ömrü ve atık yönetimiyle doğrudan ilgilidir. Bu bağlamda doğal-ekolojik tekstil malzemeleri; karbon ayak izinin azaltılması, yenilenebilir kaynakların kullanımı, toksik maddelerden arındırılmış içerik benzeri ekolojik yaklaşımların somut bir yansımasını temsil etmektedir. Modern tekstil teknolojileriyle birlikte, bu malzemeler; yeşil kimya uygulamaları, geri dönüşüm teknikleri ve düşük enerji tüketimi gibi yenilikçi yöntemlerle desteklenerek sektörde sürdürülebilir bir yapının oluşmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, doğal-ekolojik tekstil malzemelerinden pamuk, yün ve ketenkenevir in sürdürülebilirlik açısından taşıdığı önem çok boyutlu olarak ele alınarak analiz edilmiş ve bu örnekler üzerinden bunların modern tekstil teknolojilerinde ekolojik ilkelerin uygulanabilirliği ve etkisi tartışılmıştır. Böylece sürdürülebilir tekstil için hem çevresel hem de toplumsal düzeyde yol gösterici bir perspektif sunulması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmanın bir amacı da tekstil sanayinin mevcut durumuna sürdürülebilirlik yönüyle temas ederek onu daha yeşil hale getirmeye yönelik farkındalığı artırmaktır.
