We pleased to announce that we're part of the Portuguese R5 project!
The desire to drive the circular economy in the Portuguese textile industry has brought together 5 players to give us the opportunity to upcycle the old clothing by following these steps:
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Renew
Restore
We're able to use old clothes or scraps to bring new clothes to life. Through this process we can reduce the greenhouse effect by 90%, save 70% energy, use almost 0% water and be free of chemicals through the process of transforming the clothes into new fabrics.
This initiative was launched in early 2022 and by then we'll have developed many new collections from what is traditionally considered waste.
The new developments have taken into account the 6Rs: Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair - a new approach to thinking more in terms of sustainability when evaluating products.
" Rethink: what could be done differently?
Refuse: are there materials a designer would not use?
Reduce: can the use of materials be reduced?
Reuse: can the product be used again for another purpose?
Recycle: can materials be used that are easy to recycle when the product is finished with?
Repair: can the product be repaired instead of thrown away? “ - www.stem.org.uk
