I'm a fashion designer and recycling enthusiast, few years ago I created this trashion outfit made with plastic six pack rings and tulle remnants and showed it at British Council's Trashion Catwalk. My inspiration was the thousand of plastic rings floating on the sea and how this contaminates and induces to global warming threatening sea life, I named it "Plastic Sea".
It was a creative contest promoted by British Council within the framework of its program Climate Change Generation and the green campaign of a local mall "Metropolis Preserva" featuring emergent designers from Venezuela, I think we need of making more people aware of climate change by promoting Recycle activities worldwide and it was an cool way to do that, its an urgent need that concern grows.

Diversity of recicled materials like aluminium cans, plastic bags, broken cds, among others were used by others designers...

The event was in the public eye...
How about converting out-of-date clothing into new fashion; would save a lot of material

Yes, I use recycled old clothes and also used imitation jewelry to create new fashion pieces, I transform old jeans into fashionable baby shoes :-)

There are ecofriendly brands concerned about and promotes reused. Vintage market offering reused clothes has grown a lot nowadays, thats great since most of the unwanted clothes finishes in a ladfill or an incinerator and chemicals from clothing fibers can leach from the textiles and in improperly sealed landfills into groundwater. Burning the items in incinerators can release those toxins into the air.. Fortunately there are big brands involved too like sportswear maker Adidas which is racing to make its products more sustainable and it has committed to using only recycled plastic by 2024 wich is a fantastic option for those who feel a bit squeamish about literally walking a mile in someone else’s shoes..

I recently saw an article about a company making textiles out of scrap clothing - might have been here at Steemit...I don't remember. I like to see this kind of news.
