Today, promoting the use of recycled cotton in the textile industry is an important step for reducing the environmental impact of the industry and achieving a more sustainable future. On the other hand, performance properties of fabrics including recycled fibers are important in deciding the choice for use; i.e. summer clothings would show dramatic loss in terms of mechanical performance and color when prone to long hours of use under sunlight. It is known that cotton fabrics are frequently preferred as summer clothings especially in regions where the sun is effective for a long time and UV aging tests are applied to simulate the long exposure time to the sunlight. In this study, it was aimed to promote the utilization of recycled cotton fibers in woven clothing fabrics through examining their performance properties after exposing to UV aging and comparing with identical fabric of virgin fibers. For this purpose woven fabrics with same sett values and weft yarn type differing the cotton fiber content, either virgin or recycled cotton, were produced. The study showed the significant decrease observed in terms of color difference and tear strength after UV aging for all samples, however samples with recycled cotton fibers gave non-significant performance with that of virgin fibers.
