Every second 63.75 tons of food and material are discarded, yet very little of this waste is repurposed in meaningful, long-term solutions such as garment design. For my 2026 Major Project, I aim to raise awareness of sustainability issues, by creating a eco-friendly statement garment from bio-materials and upcycled fabric - tackling the issue of food and textile waste. Supporting my project, I am seeking advice on developing recipes for biodegradable material, utilising natural ingredients to provide structure for my garment as well as guidance on textile techniques, using recycled waste such as food, plastic, and fabric to create textures.
