The study’s findings suggest new applications for End-of-Life Household Materials (EoLHMs), with a focus on new materials derived from textile wastes. The aim is twofold: explore innovative methods to promote the circular economy by reusing EoLHMs in the building sector and refurbishing buildings with particular attention to home-made panels, to favour disadvantaged contexts. Three different materials were tested, and their thermal conductivity was measured according to the ISO 8301 standard. The thermal conductivity as a function of the density was also investigated for a material derived from hemp. Comparisons with other textile materials are presented as well. As a result, the thermal conductivity of the materials ranged from 0.035 to 0.049 W/(m K), typical for insulating materials used in refurbishing applications.

Abstract

The study’s findings suggest new applications for End-of-Life Household Materials (EoLHMs), with a focus on new materials derived from textile wastes. The aim is twofold: explore innovative methods to promote the circular economy by reusing EoLHMs in the building sector and refurbishing buildings with particular attention to home-made panels, to favour disadvantaged contexts. Three different materials were tested, and their thermal conductivity was measured according to the ISO 8301 standard. The thermal conductivity as a function of the density was also investigated for a material derived from hemp. Comparisons with other textile materials are presented as well. As a result, the thermal conductivity of the materials ranged from 0.035 to 0.049 W/(m K), typical for insulating materials used in refurbishing applications.
