Exploration of Wood Waste Materials for Fashion Products

Abstract

Industrial and domestic production processes generally result in the disposal or what we know as waste. Based on the activities carried out, wood waste consists of several types and characteristics. The kind of wood waste used is sawdust. Therefore, the author raises the theme of exploration of wood waste into new materials for fashion products. This study aims to increase the functional and economic value of wood sawdust into a new material that has high economic value.

In this study, the authors explored wood waste into new materials for fashion products using the assembly method. The raft design technique used is the non-woven technique. This technique has processes such as being compressed, heated, bonded, and chemically so that it can become new material. The resulting material is a material that resembles cowhide.

Key words: exploration, wood waste,  material, fashion , products.
