Sažetak

The problems of wastewater contamination with various pollutants from the textile finishing and care process require the search for a solution to this dispersed system and its complex mechanisms. In order to promote sustainability and a circular economy, environmentally friendly products are being introduced and natural products are increasingly being used in arts and crafts. In this study, a comparison was made between horse chestnut and sweet chestnut saponins as natural and green products. In the first phase of the study, an analytical evaluation of the horse chestnut and sweet chestnut was carried out based on the total active substance and pH value. In the second phase, the washing performance of domestic raw wool, the sheep breed “Lička pramenka” was tested. Finally, after the washing process, the properties of the wool fibres and the composition of the wastewater were analysed to verify the concept of functionality and sustainability.
