Redesigned school uniforms using recycled PET (plastic) spun into functional, sustainable textile.

This project based on the concept of recycling by turning discarded bottles into stylish and fashionable clothing.

​I have been working with a factory to introduce advanced technology for the production of plastic-based yarn as part of a three-year ongoing project. This collaboration has involved the design of patterns that utilize this innovative yarn, aiming to create sustainable and stylish products.
Finally, I wrote a comprehensive report for the project and published it on our school’s social media (WeChat public account), achieving over 1.9k+ views.
