Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents a study on the development of yarn from durian rind fiber and its application in handwoven products. The research focuses on the extraction of natural fibers using local craftsmanship, along with the design and development of value-added textile products. The study is based on the concepts of the BCG Model (Bio-Circular-Green Economy) and the STAR Model, aiming to integrate sustainable resource utilization, cultural heritage preservation, and contemporary product innovation. The research findings indicate that the developed yarn exhibits a densely packed structure, high tensile strength, and durability comparable to high-quality cotton fibers, making it suitable for products requiring robustness and alignment with contemporary market demands. Furthermore, market testing conducted with 59 participants revealed that the product received a favorable evaluation, with an overall average rating of 3.86. The most positively rated factor was cost-effectiveness (4.2), followed by ease of use (3.94) and aesthetic appeal (3.54). The findings were shared with the community for their use and improvement, ensuring that the research outcomes contribute directly to the refinement and continued development of the product in alignment with local needs.
This study demonstrates that utilizing durian rind in the textile industry not only reduces biomass waste but also creates added value strengthens grassroots economies by leveraging local wisdom and traditional craftsmanship. This approach fosters employment opportunities at both household and community levels while promoting the development of market-responsive and environmentally sustainable textile products.
