No full textOpportunities for Reusing Textile Waste in K.B Passage OÜ
No full textTekstiilitööstus on üks suurimaid tööstuseid maailmas, mis tekitab suurtes kogustes jäätmeid. Aina
rohkem pööratakse tähelepanu antud tööstusevaldkonnas just keskkonna säästmisele ja võimaluste
leidmisele, kuidas kasutada ära järgi jäävad tekstiilid. Ringmajanduse ajastul võib tekstiilijäätmeid
pidada ressursiks uute tekstiiltoodete tootmiseks, mida tehes on võimalik vähendada
keskkonnamõjusid. Kui tarbimisjärgsete jäätmete kohta on tehtud palju uuringuid, siis
tekstiilitootmise erinevatel tootmisetappidel tekkivaid tööstusjäätmete voogusid ei ole piisavalt
uuritud ning ei ole leitud lahendusi, mida nendega peale hakata. Käesoleva lõputöö eesmärgiks oli uurida, millised võimalused on rõivatootmis ettevõttel K.B Passage OÜ tekstiilijäätmete taaskasutamisel Eestis. Ettevõttel puudus ülevaade, kui palju tekib neil tekstiilijäätmeid kokku ning kui suur kahjum see neile täpsemalt oli. Uuringu käigus koostas autor detailse ülevaate järgi jäävatest tekstiilijääkidest ning kategoriseeris
need vastavalt võimalike kasutusalade järgi. Kategoriseerimise aluseks võeti järgi jäävate
tekstiilitükkide pindalad. Lõputöö uuringus selgub, et tekstiilijäätmeid on võimalik Eestis
taaskasutada, kuid antud lahendusi ei ole hetkel piisavalt palju. Vaatluse käigus selgus, et ettevõttel
K.B Passage OÜ jääb kahe kollektsiooni peale kuus kokku 32,7 kg tekstiilijäätmeid ning rahaline
kahjum on 1093 eurot kuus ja aastane summa on 13116 eurot. Materjalidest jääb kõige rohkem järgi
villa ja puuvilla tekstiilijäätmeid. Analüüsist selgus arvutuste tulemusel, et kõikide taaskasutatavate
tekstiilijäätmete materjali kulu kokku ühes kuus on 720 eurot ja aastane summa on 8640 eurot. Seda
summat on võimalik ettevõttel päästa, taaskasutades enda tekstiilijäätmeid ja nendest ise õmmeldes
lasteriideid. Autori koostatud ettepanekud ettevõttele K.B Passage OÜ tekstiilijääkide taaskasutamiseks: Kõige optimaalsem lahendus on ettevõttel hakata ise taaskasutama enda tekstiilijäätmeid,
näiteks tehes alles jäävatest jäätmetest lasterõivaid, mida oleks võimalik müüa. Teine ettepanek oleks rakendada toote disainimisel nulljäätmete disaini, et tekiks vähem tekstiiilijääke alles, ning võimalikult suur kangast oleks ära kasutatud. Kolmas ettepanek oleks tekstiilimaterjalide ümbertöötlemine, keemiliselt või mehaaniliselt. Neljas ettepanek on ettevõttel parandada enda visuaalset juhtimist, et hakata tektsiilijäätmeid eraldi kangaste järgi sorteerima. Jätkusuutlikuks jäätmete käitlemiseks, tuleb pidevalt analüüsida tekkivate jäätmete koguseid ning leida uuenduslikke lahendusiselleks, et neid võimalikult optimaalselt ettevõtte jaoks ära kasutada.The textile industry is one of the largest industries in the world, generating large amounts of waste.
Increasing attention is being paid in this industry to saving the environment and finding ways to use
leftover textiles. In the age of the circular economy, textile waste can be seen as a resource for the
production of new textile products that can reduce environmental impact. While many studies have
been carried out on post-consumer waste, the industrial waste streams generated at different stages of
textile production have not been sufficiently studied and no solutions have been found to address
them. The aim of this dissertation was to study the possibilities of the clothing production company K.B
Passage OÜ in recycling textile waste in Estonia. The company did not have an overview of how
much textile waste they generated in total and how much of a loss it was for them. In the course of the study, the author compiled a detailed overview of the remaining textile residues
and categorized them according to the possible uses. The categorization was based on the areas of the
remaining textile pieces. The study of the dissertation shows that it is possible to reuse textile waste
in Estonia, but there are not enough solutions at the moment. During the inspection, it turned out that
the company K.B Passage OÜ has a total of 32.7 kg of textile waste per month after two collections,
and the financial loss is 1093 euros per month and the annual amount is 13116 euros. The largest
types of wastes are wool and cotton. The analysis showed that the total cost of all recyclable textile
waste material in one month is 720 euros and the annual amount is 8640 euros. This amount can be
saved by the company by reusing its own textile waste and sewing children's clothes from it. Proposals prepared by the author for the company K.B Passage OÜ for the reuse of textile waste: The most optimal solution is for the company to start recycling its own textile waste, for example by making the remaining waste children's clothes that can be sold. Another proposal would be to use a zero-waste design in the design of the product, so that less textile waste is generated and as much fabric as possible is used. The third proposal would be the recycling of textiles, chemically or mechanically. The fourth proposal is for the company to improve its visual management in order to start sorting textile waste separately by fabric. For sustainable waste management, the amount of waste generated must be constantly analyzed and
innovative solutions must be found in order to make the best possible use of it for the company

Wadden Ritme: MarkenWadden Centre
No full textThe current ecological situation in the Markermeer is not optimal. The lake comprises of nontransparant water on a sludge base with a shortage of phosphates, it is enclosed as a bathtub, and has steep edges due to bordering dikes. These causes result in bad ecological conditions for algae, fish, birds and vegetation. The planned island group MarkerWadden is a project alongside the Houtribdijk, that aims for nature recovery in the Markermeer. The proposed architecture is twofold; it houses an ecological research and monitoring centre for involved institutions (i) and a visitors centre (ii). All together, the MarkenWadden Centre serves as an ecology restoration hub that brings people in direct contact with the prospective MarkenWadden project. The design concept - incorporating matters of sustainability - that are best fitted for the context, programme and location will be elaborated. The design research is based upon the best possible prediction of the future MarkenWadden realisation.Delta InterventionsArchitectureArchitecture and The Built Environmen
