Innovation Dyeing from Fruit and Vegetable Cold-pressed Dregs to Reduce Environmental Pollution: A Case Study of Healthy Juice Bar in Bangkok
Main Article Content
Abstract
Healthy wellness is a trend that is increasingly popular. Fruit and vegetable juices are examples of healthy foods and meals. Consumer desire for commodities that allow all fruit and vegetable kinds to be consumed and that give comprehensive, nutrient-dense vegetable and fruit juices is driven by the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. Throughout the manufacturing process, however, it generates "garbage," or leftover vegetable and fruit waste. Because of the aforementioned concerns, using the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) to help decrease environmental pollution also increases economic value by making unique colours from cold-pressed fruit and vegetable waste for use in textiles and other creative uses. The methods are creative: 1) investigate the qualities and methodology of collecting cold-pressed fruit and vegetable pulp from Bangkok's Healthy Juice Bar, and 2) explore innovative techniques to manufacture distinctive hues by utilizing the 3Rs method until there is no waste (Zero Waste). The study's findings are summarized below: Cold-pressed vegetable and fruit juices waste in everyday are between 10 and 50 kilograms. The experiment was performed 5 times using dyed water extracted according to the colour of the trash using a semi-industrial juice extractor. The colour value analysis found that the majority of hot dyed yarns had brightness and yellowness ratings, cold dye has a dark and a blue value. Printed dyes are made from powdered pigments and printing powder blended with adhesive agents. Heat is used to seal the colour, making it a healthy juice bar in Bangkok. There are innovative methods to repurpose garbage. Selling environmentally friendly items (eco-friendly products), establishes a brand product, and leads to a more sustainable fashion sector.
