  Abstract

Environmental pollution and global warming have emerged as critical challenges in contemporary society, necessitating the discovery and application of sustainable materials, the development of eco-friendly processes, the advancement of carbon reduction technologies, and the innovation of recycling and upcycling techniques. In this study, the properties of short waste polyester fibers generated during the sewing process were analyzed and mixed with virgin polyester staple fibers to produce nonwoven suitable for use in cushions, automobile interiors, and bedding. The tensile strength of the waste polyester was found to be similar to that of virgin polyester; however, due to the short average fiber length of 20 mm and low elongation, the properties of the nonwoven fabrics are expected to deteriorate at high blending ratios. Needle-punched nonwoven produced by blending waste polyester at specific ratios, and subjected to varying hot air treatment temperatures and low-melting point PET blend ratios, revealed that as the hot air treatment temperature and low melting PET ratio increased, the formation of fusion points between fibers led to localized stress, which decreased tensile strength but improved compression resistance in the thickness direction.
