Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology.-- Bachelor of Technology in Apparel and Fashion Technology: Technological University of the Philippines, Manila. 2024 Summary: The study focuses on utilizing flower waste stalks from Metro Manila's flower markets as raw materials for producing alternative leather. The process involves binding the stalks with a mixture of unflavored gelatin, pure glycerin, and vinegar to produce a material with a leather-like texture. A series of tests were conducted on the material for market viability. The tear strength test found the material could withstand forces up to 6.60 N/20 mm. In a burial test, the material was buried in soil for 30 days and observed to decompose naturally, indicating biodegradable attributes. In the exposure test, the material could withstand direct sunlight without deteriorating. The air-oven method was used for moisture analysis, and it contained 20.80% moisture. Upon storage and temperature atmosphere tests conducted, the leather can only be stored at room temperature of 30°C to 50°C. It had a tensile strength of 89.0 N/40 mm and a water-repellency rating of 98.59%. The product was evaluated at Marikina and TUP-M. The evaluation includes appearance and aesthetic appeal, receiving an overall mean of 4.33; durability and functionality, with an overall mean of 4.30; comfort and wearability, with an overall mean of 4.44; and marketability, with an overall mean of 3.90. As a result, the acceptability of flower waste stalk alternative leather was deemed "very acceptable," with an overall mean rating of 4.24. Based on the evaluation and findings, this material offers an eco-friendly solution to reduce agricultural and toxic waste and provide cruelty-free alternative leather, contributing to the textile industry. Keywords: alternative leather, flower waste stalk, binding agent, market viability, eco- friendly solution

The study focuses on utilizing flower waste stalks from Metro Manila's flower markets as
raw materials for producing alternative leather. The process involves binding the stalks
with a mixture of unflavored gelatin, pure glycerin, and vinegar to produce a material with
a leather-like texture. A series of tests were conducted on the material for market viability.
The tear strength test found the material could withstand forces up to 6.60 N/20 mm. In a
burial test, the material was buried in soil for 30 days and observed to decompose naturally,
indicating biodegradable attributes. In the exposure test, the material could withstand direct
sunlight without deteriorating. The air-oven method was used for moisture analysis, and it
contained 20.80% moisture. Upon storage and temperature atmosphere tests conducted, the
leather can only be stored at room temperature of 30°C to 50°C. It had a tensile strength of
89.0 N/40 mm and a water-repellency rating of 98.59%. The product was evaluated at
Marikina and TUP-M. The evaluation includes appearance and aesthetic appeal, receiving
an overall mean of 4.33; durability and functionality, with an overall mean of 4.30; comfort
and wearability, with an overall mean of 4.44; and marketability, with an overall mean of
3.90. As a result, the acceptability of flower waste stalk alternative leather was deemed
"very acceptable," with an overall mean rating of 4.24. Based on the evaluation and
findings, this material offers an eco-friendly solution to reduce agricultural and toxic waste
and provide cruelty-free alternative leather, contributing to the textile industry.
