Group 5: Kate Goldsworthy (me) & Trash to Cash (Alice)

In regards to Fashion/Textiles precedents for Digital Fabrication and Sustainable Practice we looked closer into Kate Goldsworthy and Trash to Cash from the UK. The later is a large group project in which Kate Goldsworthy is involved. Trash to Cash is still not completed, the timeline is set until 2020 to create a closed loop system to recycle materials and through chemical processes turn them into new materials, which is aimed to be endlessly repeated without loss of material quality. This relates to Goldsworthy’s own research and practice of closed loop systems for a zero waste future in Textiles and Fashion. She also collaborated on other projects creating new materials using 100% recycled polyester and laser cutting techniques in conjunction with minimal seam construction, allowing for 100% mono fibre recycling at end of life whilst being interesting and functional.
