DESIGN NAME: Re Waste
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Fabric Made With Recycled Plastic
INSPIRATION: Creating the designs while inspiring from the Earth's sustainable goals, by giving the land, undersea creatures, nature, and us a good chance to live better. Giving myself a chance to participate by using non-recyclable plastic bags and the Fashion industry, in a desire for less waste generation.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To be a part of environment saving, due to the globally found of single-use plastic waste in a massive number by trying to recover our environment from plastic through fashion industry by reusing and recycling single-use plastic bags. Creating fabric through weaving manufacture on the loom in addition to Microfiber Acrylic threads, giving the fabric more strength and loose fabric which allow the body more freedom and warmth to a Winter collection
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The upper design can be converted from oversized to fit by tightening the belt. Preferred an above knee dress, shorts, skirt, jumpsuit or change it more casual by wearing high waist straight pants.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The Project Started in September 2020 and finished in June 2021 in Cairo, Egypt.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The fabric is manufactured through hand-made weaving techniques on loom and using plain weave pattern. In addition to the used plastic bags from the High-density polyethylene (HDPE) with Properties, High chemical and temperature resistance, Impact resistance, Solid, Flexible but rigid, Lightweight, Resistant to water, acids, and several dissolvents with %100 Microfiber Acrylic threads, finest Weight: 100 g
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The Collection is ready-to-wear womenswear, oversized or fitted size 28-30

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In a new way of recycling single used plastic bags in the fashion field, my research reaches it was possible to change the plastic and use it as a string through our ancient Egyptian technique, handmade weaving on a loom, in addition to Microfiber Acrylic threads to give the fabric more strength. The design reached this strength, looseness, warmth, and durability by experimenting with different strings, different ways of forming on the loom until I reached the best composition.
CHALLENGE: Changing my theoretical research into practical actual fabric.
