Regenerative Design

Materials

Recycled Nylon, Bio-based Polymers

Background

How can design embrace circular thinking while maintaining aesthetic and functional excellence? This project reimagines garment systems from a lifecycle perspective, where materials flow continuously through cycles of creation and regeneration.

Design Method

A systematic mapping of material flows was conducted, identifying opportunities for zero-waste production and material regeneration. Design solutions integrated recycled and bio-based materials while maintaining structural and aesthetic integrity.

System Description

Closed-loop material system eliminating waste throughout lifecycle

Outcomes

Prototype garments demonstrating closed-loop material systems and a framework for sustainable design practices that prioritize regeneration over consumption.
