| Summary: | Over the last few years, various industries are adapting to sustainable transition,
and the textile industry is no exception. Through sustainable transition
development, industries are trying to address the decreasing resources issue that
does not go in line with the soaring of today’s consumer population and their
increasing purchasing power. However, the multidimensional nature of
sustainability requires an integrated endeavour to stimulate interests for economic
circumstances, environmental and social situations. Referring to the three
fundamental dimensions of sustainable performance (planet, profit, people), the
ideal sustainable transition development needs to also generate benefits for the
communities involved, both consumer and producer.
In response to the issue, this project is initiated as a strategy of the sustainable
transition by discovering the potency of resource efficiency in the weaving
industry through home-scale produced fiber waste composite. Experiments of
composite techniques were carried out to facilitate the various fiber waste
conditions and to investigate the opportunity of diversifying the economic resources
for the industry and for the workers involved, particularly home-based workers.
Through the focus of the study conducted at PT Retota Retail Indonesia, this
research also explores the fiber waste with the participation of the home-based
worker community, particularly home-based workers who involve in the chain of
production. The primary purpose of community participation is to find a proper
method of production and to investigate the opportunity for increasing the
performance of home-based workers. As result, this research project presents an
environmentally friendly fiber waste composite that shows a productive level of
efficiency to be produced by home-based workers. The outcome of this research
project is expected to offer harmonious impacts on the environment, people, and
the economy and to expand sustainable transition alternatives in design studies |
