The textile industry is one of the main sources of environmental pollution. Textile industries consume large amounts of water. Textile industries consume large amounts of water. Textile chemical dyes are mixed with waste water and cause serious environmental problems. Also, due to the large-scale production of ready-made garments in factories, a lot of fabric becomes waste during the fabric cutting phase. Usually waste fabrics are removed from the production cycle and cause environmental pollution. Due to all these problems, designers and textile companies are making efforts to produce sustainable and ecological textiles. In this study, the fabrics discarded from factories and private workshops were collected and dyed with beet root in order to make them reusable, and they were brought back into the production cycle with bindle and shopping bag models. Natural colors were used instead of harmful chemical colors to dye the collected fabrics. Two different methods were compared in dyeing application. Recycling of waste fabrics and natural dyeing benefit the environment by reusing textiles. Keywords: Waste fabrics, beet root dye, ecological bag, sustainable fashion
