Central Aim

Fashion is fast, linear and exploits our common resources intensively. Fashion ends up as waste and is only for about 50% re-used as clothing. The other 50% is for filling our land fills and fueling our waste furnaces. That can be changed by recycling fibres from non-wearable textile wastes, spin new yarns (enriched with local virgin fiber from wool, hemp and flax) from it and weave new textiles for high-design clothing. Art academies in the North Sea Region will create exciting opportunities!
