PROPOSED PROCESS FOR MANAGEMENT OF TEXTILE WASTE FROM REDESIGNED SECONDHAND CLOTHING PRODUCTION IN HAITI: NO-WASTE, RECYCLING AND REPURPOSING
Impact/Purpose:
This project will concentrate on learning to create an effective sustainable no-waste, repurposing apparel design and production process for secondhand clothing (SHC) businesses in Haiti
Description:
Outputs of this project include a “redesign matrix” created by apparel design faculty members and graduate students and a “biodegradable/recyclable fabric matrix” created by both fiber science and apparel design students and faculty – both with the purpose of educating our industry partner (Local Buttons) and its Haitian production facilities in the optimal usage of recycled materials for different parts of garments and in minimizing wastage of recyclable textile materials.
