International Collaboration for Swedish Textile Institute
Product Design Concept: Flipped Waste

Background
The background to the project is that we need to fundamentally change the way we approach design, material nature, desirability and value. The new system must consider the need to support and build local communities while at the same time reducing what is referred to as fashion imperialism, where typically western styles are promoted over local and indigenous styles.

Sustainable benefits
• Efficient use of resources
• Reduction of waste
• Sustainable design methods
