Abstract

Integration of sustainable textiles into aircraft design is promoted in order to increase sustainability goals of aviation industry. Textiles used for aircraft interior design not only pose threats to sustainable aims, but also create opportunities. This paper aims to draw the attention to utilize sustainable textiles for ecodesign of aircraft interiors. It also highlights the deficiency and opportunities regarding sustainable textile use for interior parts of the aircraft. The paper states that the environmental impact is created by both aviation and textile industries in a common perspective. The paper also provides examples from sustainable interior design initiatives of automotive industry. The compiled database provides general information about ecodesign approaches and integration of sustainable textiles into aircrafts. Flowingly, a brief summary of the environmental policies are referred.
