TEXTILE WASTE AS AN IMPROVISED SOUND INSULATING ABSORBER PANELS

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study aims to explore the potential use of textile waste as an improvised sound

Insulating absorber panel, addressing the environment concerns associated with traditional

materials while providing a cost-effective and sustainable solution to noise pollution.

By examining the acoustic properties and effectiveness of different textile waste materials,

such as discarded fabrics, clothing, non-woven fabrics, this research seeks to determine their

suitability as sound absorbers and evaluate their efficiency in reducing noise levels.

1. How can manufacturing processes be standardized to effectively convert textile waste

into functional sound insulating absorber panels?

2. What is the performance and durability of textile waste-based sound insulating absorber

panels in terms of factors like sound absorption coefficient, fire resistance, and moisture

resistance?

3. How can textile wasted-based sound insulating absorber panels be made cost-effective

and commercially competitive compared to traditional materials, considering factors like

availability of textile waste sources and scalability of the manufacturing process?

OBJECTIVES

1. Evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of utilizing textile waste as a raw material for the

production of sound insulating absorber panels.

2. Determine the optimal manufacturing process for converting textile waste into sound

insulating absorber panel, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

3. Assess the performance of textile waste-based sound insulating absorber panels in

terms of sound absorption coefficient, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and durability.

4. Analyze the cost-effectiveness of textile waste-based sound insulating absorber panels

compared to traditional materials, considering factors like material sourcing, manufacturing

scalability, and market competitiveness.

5. Develop guidelines and recommendations for the design and implementation of textile

waste-based sound insulating absorber panels in building construction and interior applications,

emphasizing sustainability and environmental considerations.
