The upcycling project explained
The Problem of Fashion Waste
The fashion industry is notorious for its significant contribution to global waste. Dry cleaners, in particular, accumulate vast amounts of discarded garments that are often still in good condition but are considered unusable due to minor damages, stains, or simply being out of fashion. These items typically end up in landfills, exacerbating environmental pollution and resource wastage.
Our Solution
onezero8 steps in to intercept this waste stream, collecting garments from dry cleaners before they reach landfills. The collected items undergo a meticulous sorting process to determine their potential for upcycling. The garments are then repaired, redesigned, and repurposed, transforming them into unique, fashionable pieces ready for resale.
Our Process
The upcycling process at onezero8 involves several stages:
- Collection: Garments are gathered from partnering dry cleaners.
- Sorting: Items are sorted based on material, condition, and potential for redesign.
- Repair and Redesign: Skilled designers repair any damages and creatively redesign the garments.
- Resale: The upcycled garments are sold through various channels, including online platforms like Depop and social media channels like TikTok and Instagram.
