摘要纺织废弃物已成为纺织服装业面临的严峻挑战。随着腐烂时间的延长，垃圾的指数增长，有毒的淋溶和甲烷的排放，对垃圾填埋场的影响是非常有害的。设计师和制造商有环境责任承认这种纺织废物水平，并通过与传统设计、生产和最终使用系统交叉或创造新系统的解决方案来解决这些问题。这项研究建立在与一家社会公司的一个设计项目的基础上，公司制服上的过时纺织品被重新设计成儿童服装。社会公司EarthLink利用其在当地社区的独特地位，以一种支持和运营可持续商业和环境实践的模式，帮助那些有心理健康问题的人。其他大型公司通过为升级项目提供大量废弃的公司衣柜来支持这一倡议。梅西大学一直在为该项目做出贡献，通过设计研究来补充设计生产，以解决行业中的纺织废物问题并支持社区福祉。
Abstract Textile waste has become an alarming challenge for the textile and apparel sector. The effect of exponential growth of waste with long-term decay time, toxic leaching, and methane emissions, is significantly harmful to landfill areas. There is an environmental responsibility for designers and manufacturers to acknowledge this level of textile waste and address these issues with solutions that intersect the traditional design, production, and end-use systems or create new ones. The research builds on a design project with a social firm where obsolete textiles from corporate uniforms are redesigned into children’s apparel. The social firm ‘Earthlink’ utilizes a unique position in the local community, helping those with mental-health issues within a model that supports and operates sustainable business and environmental practice. Other large-scale corporate companies support this initiative by making available large volumes of discarded corporate wardrobe for the upcycling project. Massey University has been contributing to the project with design research supplementing design production with approaches to address textile waste issues in the industry and support community well-being.
