Özet:

 The human population continues to increase at a rising pace each year. Consequently, technology is also changing and advancing. The growing population, developing technology, and continuous consumption have led to the depletion and insufficiency of existing natural resources. Humans are inherently consuming beings. The primary reason for the inadequacy of resources used to meet consumption needs is the continual increase in consumption itself. Ensuring the sustainability of existing resources is crucial in maintaining the continuity of the consumption and production cycle. Incorporating environmental sustainability into processes is particularly important for the textile sector, which consumes natural resources at various stages of production. This study evaluates waste products such as poultry feathers turkey and ostrich feathers, waste polyester, and original wool fibers transformed into a sandwich-structured layered textile. These are considered sustainable waste products. After converting waste materials and other textile materials into quilted layered sandwich structures, their thermal comfort properties were measured. Sandwich structures were prepared with waste polyester and original wool fibers of different thicknesses, along with waste turkey and ostrich feathers. The results indicated that the thermal comfort values of the layered quilted structures improved with increasing fiber fineness. In structures created with different fiber compositions, thermal comfort values relatively decreased, whereas structures supplemented with turkey and ostrich feathers showed improved thermal comfort values. In terms of air permeability of the layered structures, it was observed that while wool layers exhibited poor air permeability under 2kPa pressure, layers composed of mixed components demonstrated better air permeability. This study demonstrates that quilted layered structures produced from waste and recycled materials can be utilized in the production of thermal comfort-specific structures.
