Abstract


This study developed an insulation structure using waste from apparel cutting and examined its sound insulation capabilities. Shredded polyester apparel cuttings served as the primary material for this structure. Results indicate that the insulation made from apparel waste exhibits superior sound absorption properties compared to conventional sound and thermal insulators. The average sound absorption ranged from 54.7% to 74.7% across frequencies from 250 to 2000 Hz. This research proposes a method to reduce environmental pollution by repurposing polyester apparel waste for insulation in roofs and internal walls.
