Item type:Ítem, Estrategias de diseño sustentables mediante el uso de residuos de denim para el sector del calzado artesanal en Tungurahua(UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE AMBATO; FACULTAD DE DISEÑO Y ARQUITECTURA; CARRERA DE INGENIERÍA EN DISEÑO INDUSTRIAL, 2026-01-21) ;Medina Valencia Joselyn de los Angeles ;Jessica Viviana Martínez VergaraUNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE AMBATO; FACULTAD DE DISEÑO Y ARQUITECTURA; CARRERA DE INGENIERÍA EN DISEÑO INDUSTRIALThis research focuses on the analysis and use of denim waste generated in textile workshops, with the aim of evaluating its technical and productive feasibility for the manufacture of handmade footwear in Tungurahua. Handcrafted footwear is a strategic productive sector that mainly uses leather and synthetic materials, so the incorporation of denim scraps represents a sustainable alternative that provides environmental, economic, and cultural value. The work is justified by the problem identified in textile workshops, where between 15 and 50 kilograms of denim scraps are generated each month, most of which are discarded, incinerated, or stored without sorting. This waste has a weight of between 11 and 14 ounces and technical characteristics suitable for reuse, so its use can reduce environmental impact and strengthen the circular economy in the region. The methodology applied included semi-structured interviews with textile workshops, shoemakers, and experts in the field, as well as technical observation sheets. The results showed that the material is available, artisans are willing to use it, and denim is compatible with artisanal processes such as patchwork, module creation, vivid textures, braiding, and mixing with other materials. Likewise, a growing market interest in sustainable products was identified. Finally, the proposal developed proposes sustainable design strategies to integrate denim waste into footwear components, reinforcing the artisanal identity and promoting production models aligned with sustainability and the circular economyItem type:Ítem, Diseño de Accesorios Masculinos a partir de Residuos Textiles generados en la Confección de Jeans(UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE AMBATO FACULTAD DE DISEÑO Y ARQUITECTURA CARRERA DE DISEÑO INDUSTRIAL, 2025-07-28) ;Morales Yagual Anthony Bryan ;Martínez Vergara Jessica VivianaUNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE AMBATO FACULTAD DE DISEÑO Y ARQUITECTURA CARRERA DE DISEÑO INDUSTRIALThis research addresses the design and development of a collection of men's accessories (watch strap, card holder and key ring) made by using denim scraps from garment workshops in San Pedro de Pelileo. The study is based on the principles of circular economy for the transformation of textile waste into commercial products, simultaneously contributing to the reduction of industrial waste and the generation of economic opportunities for local industry. The identified problem comprises two critical dimensions: the environmental impact derived from denim waste and the limited supply of sustainable accessories aimed at the male segment. This situation highlighted the need to develop solutions that integrate innovation in materials, sustainability narratives and commercial viability. The methodology used adopted a qualitative approach. The exploratory phase included structured interviews with textile entrepreneurs and owners of accessories establishments, complemented with a focus group directed to users that fit the consumer profile. At the same time, tests were carried out to evaluate the compatibility of the patches with rigid epoxy resin and flexible polyester. The process included the stages of patch selection, impregnation, three-dimensional molding, curing, laser cutting and final finishing. The results culminated in the proposal of a collection of men's accessories, establishing a short series production scheme that is adaptable to the capacities of local workshops. Future recommendations include the implementation of full life cycle analysis, experimentation with bio-based resins and the development of surplus shredding techniques to optimize the integral use of textile waste.
