Proposal for textile reuse. To the rag

Abstract

In the society in which the reproduction of waste is lived today is an increasingly significant complication because of the characteristics and thickness of their creation. The policies developed in the framework of waste created in the most industrialized countries have been forced to evolve as scientific knowledge and citizen awareness regarding environmental issues progress. The current predisposition towards sustainable waste management has as preferences, the reduction of waste reproduction, reuse, recovery through recycling and, finally, dumping. Textile waste is a significant part of urban solid waste, the increase in textile spending is the most consumed in Spain.

This project involves research into the situation of the second most polluting waste on the planet with a worrying future. Chosen the theme, this responds to the need in search of the design and development of the solution to the problem with possible applications in functional home furniture, practical and extraordinarily unique applying the most current and attractive trends possible for the user.

Throughout the project has been present our main objective, the need to preserve our planet through our solutions.

With the realization of this project, we have sought experimentation, to escape from conventionalism, the involvement of enthusiasm and knowledge of artisans, designers as well as public and private organizations that have been present to highlight and promote this somewhat unknown situation and with this join forces and synergies leading to a hard reflection.
