Techno-Economic Feasibility Analysis of Eco Product Production from Waste Fabric Materials to Support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Saepul Anwar, Sri Harini, Tini Kartini, Dwi Gemina, R. Siti Pupu Fauziah

Abstract


This study evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of producing eco-products from waste fabric materials to support sustainable development. We conducted a long-horizon feasibility assessment using commercial price data, defined production capacity and labor needs, selected appropriate machinery, and estimated cash flows to compute gross profit margin, internal rate of return, payback period, net present value, and break-even point. Results: The analysis indicated that the project is technically workable and economically attractive, with investment recovery occurring within an early operating window and profitability sustained across the planning horizon. Reasoning: These outcomes arise because waste fabric provides low-cost inputs, the process relies on simple equipment and skills, and value addition through design and quality control increases marketability. Impact: The study informs decision makers about scaling circular textile initiatives, guiding investors, producers, and local communities toward environmentally responsible enterprises while advancing sustainable consumption and responsible production in urban and rural contexts globally. This study supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
