Abstract

As the market demand for environmentally friendly synthetic leather products has increased, water-based synthetic leather manufacturing technology and product performance have made great progress. Along with the explosive growth of coffee grounds generated by urban consumers in their daily lives, research on the sustainable reuse of coffee grounds has gradually become a trend in the field. This study discusses the method of preparing environmentally friendly water-based synthetic leather that reuses coffee grounds and is assessed by standardized physical tests for friction color fastness, Martindale abrasion resistance, breathability and moisture permeability, softness, and peel strength. The results have indicated that sustainable coffee-ground synthetic leather fully meets the performance of aqueous synthetic leather for apparel and luggage, with even some performance indicators exceeding existing aqueous synthetic leather, which is an innovative and sustainable product that can be applied to the apparel industry in the future. Its development and application in the textile field will provide research ideas with the transformation of environmental problems into new opportunities.
