Our Solution

Read more about our approach to reducing the environmental impacts of the fast fashion industry.

What is it?

Our project aims to address the environmental challenges posed by the fast fashion industry, specifically the escalating issue of textile waste.

We plan to design a site that will transform the linear relationship between clothing and waste into a circular fashion ecosystem. It involves efficiently connecting recycling companies with manufacturers to ensure that textile materiasl are recycled or resued, thus establishing a sustainable and environmentally conscious fashion economy. The core concept is to minimize the environmental impact of fashion waste and create a transformative system that aligns with our principles of sustainability.

Who is our audience?

Our primary audience includes stakeholders and participants of the fashion industry. This encompasses:

  • Fashion Manufacturers: Companies involved in the production of clothing and fashion items.
  • Textile Recyclers: Entities specializing in recycling or repurposing of textile materials.
  • Environmental Organizations: Groups focused on sustainability and environmental conservation.
  • Consumers: Individuals who are conscious of the environmental impact of their fashion choices.

Features and benefits

Features:

  • Digital Platform: The project proposes creating a digital platform to faciliate communication and collaboration between recycling entities and manufacturers.
  • Recycler Locator: We will include a locator through the use of Google Maps API to allow individuals to locate their nearest textile recycler.
  • Examine environmental impacts: Because the platform is data driven, it allows insights into the amount of waste generated and amount of waste that has been repurposed, allowing for mathematical examination of improvement.
  • Community: The site includes a community section, to allow discourse among eco conscious individuals.
  • Education: Education will be at the forefront of our site as well, allowing visitors to explore the consequences of fast fashion and source sustainable fashion brands.

Benefits:

  • Efficient communication: The platform streamlines the process of recycling textile materials and circulating them back into the manufacturing chain by enabling effective communication.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Implementation of features that allow tracking and moitoring of environmental metrics will showcase the positive impacts of sustainble practices.
  • Waste reduction: The project contributes to reducing textile waste by promoting recycling and repurposing.
  • Resource preservation: A focus on a circular approach helps preserve resources by reusing materials within the fashion supply chain.
