Who would have thought that cardboard, steel/tin, recycled fabric and clothing, aluminum, plastics, paper cartons, chipboard, newspaper, mixed papers and glass could be used to design dresses, pantsuits, coats and more? I feel as though more and more people will participate in creating clothing made from recycled products, so long as the word about it continues to spread.

I feel like I've seen these projects before and even used as displays to promote recycling. At my last school, I took a fiber class and the professor had each of us make outfits from recycled materials she offered. It turned out to be a fun project and most of the outfits actually looked good. This is just one of many ways to get people more excited and aware of recycling and reusing materials.

Two years ago at our Earth Day, a student organized a Recycled Fashion Show. She created all the clothing, organized the models, and conducted the show on the quad. Look at page 16 of this report I wrote a few years ago: http://www.lasell.edu/Documents/Reports/2009-2010-Lasell-College-Sustainability-Report.pdf

Breast Cancer Awareness Month brings about a ton of events to raise money to find a cure for the disease. The idea of making art from recycled materials that are shaped liked bras is not only helping fight against breast cancer, but it is helping the environment. What a unique idea!

These new "Fan Can's" are recycling bins that aim to capture the fan. They are there to make recycling more recognizable at stadiums. Attached on the bins are a helmet and team logo. They are used to promote sustainability.

Thanks Meghan. To be honest, I had no idea fabric could be recycled into new clothes. We collect tons of clothing at move out time. Most is donated to organizations that can distribute the clothes. But some is so gross we toss it. Where can we recycle it?

A workshop was created and being offered free to anyone in Manchester to turn their old clothes and accessories into a new, updated and trendier article for their wardrobe. It encourages consumers to prolong the life of the clothes they purchase instead of disposing them. I wish a workshop like this was offered around here, it sounds like a lot of fun.

It seems like an idea that would be popular in the US. I bet it would be well attended in Boston or San Francisco.

Haggar is making men's khaki pants out of a fabric that contains up to 7 recycled plastic bottles. This is one of the few times I have seen sustainability in menswear and if it becomes a trend it will be a great thing for both the environment and the fashion industry.

Ecouterre is a website that promotes about eco friendly fashion, designers, and technology. The idea is to inform the public about the advances being made in sustainable fashion. There has also been a new certificate developed that encourages fashion brands and retailers to recycle waste and become more sustainable. Consumers are able to use the certificate to see how their purchase is directly impacting the environment. I think this certificate is such a great idea. Being able to directly see how one's purchase is affecting the environment will definitely encourage more people to shop at retailers that utilize the certificate.

Inventor Izhar Gafni has constructed an Eco-friendly bicycle. The bike is made almost entirely of cardboard. The cardboard is very safe and extremely strong, it is also fireproof and waterproof, making the bike both durable and long lasting. The tires are recycled rubber and the material is solid, preventing punctures. The best part, the bike is only $20, very affordable!!
