Therefore, most of the famous fashion and textile brands are used bio-based materials such as orange, banana, pineapple, coffee ground, etc. In this study, buttons are designed from the coffee waste collected from a local coffee house from an automatic espresso coffee machine located in Turkey for the completion of garments in the fashion industry. Coffee grounds are mixed with corn starch, glycerine, bio-epoxy resin and hardener with adequate concentrations. Bio-waste button is designed according to a mostly used circular shape. Colour fastness tests are performed to evaluate the quality of fabric such as appearance, stain release, water resistance, and colour fastness to domestic laundering and drying procedures. As a result, designed natural accessories can be adopted not only as environmentally friendly but also as cost-effective solutions for manufacturing other accessories used in the fashion industry. At the end of the domestic laundering, at the first three washing cycles, it is observed that there is no visible wear discolouration, flexibility or deformations.}, language = {English}, number = {3}, author = {{AVCIOĞLU KALEBEK NAZAN}}, month = jun, year = {2022}, pages = {282--287 }, }
