1. Upcycling textile waste

This idea has to do with the techniques yet to learn about shall undergo changes until beginning of December. Details can be and will be altered with the learning of new techniques that should open your horizons to outcomes that yet we did not have conscious of. The target population for this idea shall be the low income population suffering most intense impact of Climate Change. Addressing specifically to South East Asia population and the second most polluting industry impact; Textile Industry.

Main goal: Reduce negative impacts of current textile industry and shift to a positive impact over local population by generating a positive economic outcome. In other words, innovative textile upcycling techniques.
