ZERO WASTE
PROJECT

Zero-waste fashion is the process of designing and making clothing without wasting any fabric. This could mean that the garment pattern is designed in such a way to utilize every last bit of fabric – the pattern pieces fit together perfectly. It could mean that garments are designed and cut in a way that creates “scraps” in useful shapes and sizes that can be used to make other, smaller products. Or, zero waste fashion could be a brand that cuts garments in the traditional way but utilizes all of their offcuts – whether it be to make additional products or to recycle their scraps into new fabric.

Zero waste fashion can look different for each brand or individual adopting the zero waste mentality, but the core concept is eliminating waste from the garment production process..
