-Meet the need of present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
-world is connected
-brand can't be entirely being sustainable, can do one but unable to do another
Considerate design
-life cycle of fashion product
-customisation of product
-minimising of waste
-decrease labour cost
-localised on demand production
-longevity of product
TED 10 principle
Current Environment
-retailers pressure on manufactures and supplies
-> lower cost, customer demand cheaper prise
-WTO has changed
-Manufactures face
-> great style variation but small quantities
-spread to market increase the flexibility
-buyer -> selling close to trend to lower risk
-Company is judged by the sustainability performance
-increasingly obsolete, disposable -> more waste
-manufacturing in china for lower cost not in EU
-profit margin reduced
Green Peace (Dirty Laundry)
-clothing and global toxic cycle
Industrial
-toxic chemical in water to create yarn, fibre,fabric
(harmful the final user e allergic, babies)
-EU has law, but developing to protect users
Brand should monitor of the supply chain (transparence)
because lower the cost so they need to find a way to lower cost, can't monitor company
Energy and Effluent
-water untreated
->effluent contaminate and release toxic pollution
-Energy -> mill, heat, lighting
solution solar heating
-Ethical Production (Fair Trade)
-Econ benefit, but still need to reduce pollution, ethical
Production
-localise manufacture (save money)
eg seamless products, knitwear, accessories
bonding and laser cutting
Enzyme in dyeing fabric and garment wet treatment
3D print
Raw materials (Ingeo)
-potatoes, corn, contain starch
->turn into polymer (polyester)
-biodegrade, UV protection, elastic
-Radici use bean, castor oil plant to manufacture
-> raw material for nylon materials
Spider silk - 5 times stronger
Bio Processing
-Carole colette by bio lace
-By exploring the cellular DNA programming of plant
-> create lace samples + strawberry lace
Vegetable colouring
-no standard of colour, colour fade, easy out with use
Inbuilt color
-feed silkworms to create colours
-DNA of cotton plants
-not standardise the colour in large quantity
Biomimicry
-Zero waste
-same characteristic
Waste Reduction Direct Panel on Loom
-saving process (utilises a loom)
-weave made to fit garment
-suitable for small orders
-difficult to copy
Loom-state+ Parsons (minimising waste)
Extending product life
-slow consumption
-double layers
-reversible of knitted tencel
Garment Care
-less frequent laundry, hand wash, cold water, line drying
-No wash
->Jeans create personal mark
-Waterless washing machine, decrease 90% water
-more wash, more microscopic wash away
Average lifetime of garment, approximate 2 years
-Pre consumer-> before the product is made
-post consumer -> us
Recycling= delaying the arrival of landfill
"one of the best way to reduce waste is to use the thing already existing"
Polyethylene ->fishing nets (take 100 years to degrade)
"Down-cycling" secondary product, quality lower than primary
Disassembly of garment
e.g. button, zipper-> remove
eg wear2
Up-cycling fabric
-using old clothing and textile
End of life
Diana Kovacheva "Best Before"
-eating Textile (table cloth, napkin)
->from gelatine, seaweed & wine
Dr Helen Storey
-dissolve pVA & alginates by PUMA bag
Composing fabric-> final disposal
Breakdown of the material by heating
-> left for agriculture as nutritient
Cradle to Radle -> 360 life cycle
-product return to producer
