Design for Recyclability
Category: Industry
A design strategy anchored in end-of-life thinking: choosing fibres, constructions, and components so the finished product can be disassembled and its materials recovered. Less than 1% of textiles are currently recycled into new clothing.
Examples
- The Rifò Lab case study anchors the recyclability module
- Mono-material garments are often easier to recycle
