Sustainability by using preconsumer textile based deadstock for the development of a capsule collection: a case report

Abstract

With the current fashion consumption model, there is a considerable increase in the clothing manufacturing industries’ generation of waste. So, it is necessary to plan strategies for sustainability within its production process. Thus, this work is necessary to indicate an alternative to reduce the improper disposal of this type of waste, coming to an economically and environmentally viable path for this type of material by the development of a capsule collection using textile deadstock waste. As for methodological purposes, bibliographic research was initially developed to provide theoretical support followed by applied research and case report. The results show that it is possible to reuse this type of waste effectively, being economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable.
