The \u201eLaser Line Mono T-Shirt\u201c<\/strong> is a fast-forward and circular prototype developed by the Centre for Circular Design, an academic research initiative at the University of Arts London, co-directed by Kate Goldsworthy and Rebecca Early. The project explores how new digital processes<\/strong> can enable circular and responsive manufacturing<\/strong> in the fashion and textile industry.<\/p>\n\n

\u201eThe material in this concept has been enhanced through a laser welding finishing process developed by Kate Goldsworthy. Made from commercially available 100% recycled polyester (RPET), the surface material is nonwoven in construction. No additional materials are added during the finishing and construction stages thus preserving recyclability at end of life.<\/p>\n\n

This prototype was designed for a use-phase comparable to a standard fashion top and then returned for full recovery through chemical recycling. The durability of the nonwoven material, as well as the aesthetic quality, is improved through several finishing techniques, which can be digitally engineered and customised for local production close to market. The garment is constructed using ultrasonic seaming technology with flat-bed construction and recyclability is retained through mono-materiality.<\/p>\n\n

There is potential for this fast-forward and circular concept to be scaled up for a mass-market in an industrial context. Local networks of manufacturers will be essential for this vision, from large scale mass-manufacturing plants through to smaller entrepreneurial start- ups. Extended technical understanding within an existing manufacturing landscape presents opportunities for future development of local, fast and circular material and fashion systems.\u201c<\/p>\n\n

Uns begegnen stets neue nachhaltige und kreislauff\u00e4hige Konzepte, die zeigen, wie Qualit\u00e4t, Innovation und Sch\u00f6nheit zu einer umweltfreundlicheren sowie \u00e4sthetisch und kulturell reichhaltigeren Mode f\u00fchren k\u00f6nnen. Mit \u201cBeneficial Discoveries\u201c stellen wir daher ausgew\u00e4hlte Modedesigner, Marken und Produkte vor, die erste Ans\u00e4tze f\u00fcr eine bessere Zukunft liefern. Der Showcase ist eine digitale Weiterf\u00fchrung unserer Ausstellung\u00a0\"How to make fashion of the future environmentally sound\"<\/span><\/a>, welche Anfang 2020 im Bundesumweltministerium stattgefunden hat.<\/p>\n
