Value Addition to Leather Industry Wastes and By-Products: Hydrolyzed Collagen and Collagen Peptides *by Ali Yorgancioglu, Bahri Başaran and Aykut Sancakli*


Preface

Changing lifestyles and living conditions has caused increases in industrial and domestic waste since the industrial revolution. Therefore, human and environmental health is one of the most critical problems humanity faces today. Industrial waste from the textile and leather industry can be studied under four classes: air, water, solid waste pollution, and noise. Textile and leather products are part of our daily life. If they fall into disfavor, textile and leather products will be a domestic waste. Waste management for solving environmental problems is realized by reduction of waste, reuse, material recycling, material and energy recovery, storage without

In this book, the relationship between the textile/leather materials and waste is

The first chapter is about antimicrobial finishing. The objective of this work is to synthesize modified silica by including Ag and C and then adding antimicrobial additives to obtain antimicrobial fabrics. Disused batteries are used as the C source. A waste product that does not originate from the textile industry is evaluated using antimicrobial textile finishing. The authors suggest that the method is applied to the treatment of waste with high metal contents such as batteries, computer waste,

The second chapter is about the waste problem around antimicrobial finishing. Antimicrobial agents ensure hygienic conditions and prevent the spread of diseases, especially in crowded places such as hospitals, baby nurseries, and barracks. On the other hand, antimicrobial finishing has adverse effects such as being toxic, allergycausing, and carcinogenic on the wearer and all the living organisms during the antimicrobial textile product's production and serving life. In the second chapter, the author mainly discusses metal-based antimicrobial finishing and triclosan-based

The third chapter is about textile waste recycling. The authors present a general evaluation of the management of textile wastes in terms of ensuring sustainability

In the sixth chapter, the authors focus on the potential for reusing natural by-products from different sources such as the dairy industry, agriculture, and leather industry. In this context, they present a case study about the new generation of coated textile solutions that can be used as an alternative to natural and/or

The fifth chapter is about the recycling of textile waste and the use of them as a sound absorber. The authors compare conventional polyester and polypropylene nonwoven insulation materials with the nonwoven fabrics produced from recycled materials.
