In our first product, we transform "unperfect" jeans and workwear into modern and sustainable sneakers. Textile upcycling is overlooked in the circular fashion agenda, but it is a powerful recirculation strategy, that minimizes the need for new virgin material, and retains the value in the discarded fabrics. Apart from shoes, we also include the consumers in the production of upcycled fashion through upcycling workshops. Here we empower people to take up the fight against fast fashion while getting to create unique fashion pieces and letting their creativity loose... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Mitigation of the illegal dumping sites

CLENathon wrote: Citizens tend to dump various waste in illegal places around the city. Therefore, there is a problem regarding pollution, contamination, odour, un-used materials that they could be re-cycled (circular economy). The idea is to use nudging by placing bins or other methods with informative logos in the illegal dumping areas so citizens will be indirectly educated and separate the waste even in these areas. Therefore, the materials will be provided to the stakeholders involved as a valuable product. This solution will mitigate the waste with the potential to either establish a waste collection spot or completely remove it depending on the needs of the area... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
