Utilizing a quantitative, experimental design, the research aimed to determine the effectiveness of these resources as substitutes for synthetic fibers by evaluating tensile strength and weather resistance. The research employed an experimental design three yarn blends were experimented with: 100% brown algae, 100% commercial sodium alginate, and a mixture with 50% of both. In determining tensile strength, every mixture was exposed to o.5 kg, 1 kg, and2 kg loads. The results attempt to help in sustainable textile production by providing alternative yarns that have a less negative impact on the environment. The research explores the potential utilization within the framework of the modernization import-dependent industrial expansion strategy of the Philippines. The study found a significant difference in tensile strength and weather resistance among the mixtures. The 100% commercialized sodium alginate and 100% brown algae were more effective than the 50/50 mixture of both, as they could support all three weights, while the 50/50 mix failed to carry the 2kg weight. Despite this, all mixtures showed minimal physical change after one week of exposure to the weather conditions but the 5o/50 mixture of both the commercialized and sodium alginate proved to be the least effective in terms of weather resistance. This suggests that 100% commercialized sodium alginate and 100% brown algae are viable alternatives to synthetic fibers for yarn production.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |

This research explored the effectiveness of brown algae (Phaeophyceae) and commercialized sodium alginate as alternatives to producing yarn, addressing both environmental issues from harmful algal blooms (HABS) and economic weaknesses of the Philippine textile industry. Utilizing a quantitative, experimental design, the research
aimed to determine the effectiveness of these resources as substitutes for synthetic fibers by evaluating tensile strength and weather resistance. The research employed an experimental design three yarn blends were experimented with: 100% brown algae, 100% commercial sodium alginate, and a mixture with 50% of both.

The results attempt to help in sustainable textile production by providing alternative yarns that have a less negative impact on the environment. The research explores the potential utilization within the framework of the modernization import-dependent industrial expansion strategy of the Philippines.
The study found a significant difference in tensile strength and weather resistance among the mixtures. The 100% commercialized sodium alginate and 100% brown algae
were more effective than the 50/50 mixture of both, as they could support all three weights, while the 50/50 mix failed to carry the 2kg weight. Despite this, all mixtures showed minimal physical change after one week of exposure to the weather conditions but the 5o/50 mixture of both the commercialized and sodium alginate proved to be the
least effective in terms of weather resistance. This suggests that 100% commercialized sodium alginate and 100% brown algae are viable alternatives to synthetic fibers for yarn
production.
