Designer products from textile waste: creation & sale

Abstract

Conduct research into the prospect of creating a company that can provide upcycling of second-hand clothes & textile offcuts to create new products. As follows from statistical data, textile waste products average 7% of all waste in Ukraine. Some local solid waste recycling companies down cycle only 3%. The rest of 97% of textile waste goes to landfills and remains a source of pollution. Therefore, the conversion of textile waste to a resource can be an important part of the "circular economy" of Ukraine. The results obtained will help to organise a company for upcycling of second-hand clothes & textile offcuts to create new products.
