For decades, about 15% of fabric intended for clothing has ended up on the cutting room floor of tailors and fashion designers as textile offcuts (waste). This waste is usually being neglected and in a research carried out by @thegreens, we realized that about 1600 – 4000kgs of textile offcuts is produced every month by the more than 800 tailors and fashion designers of Bamenda.
Most of this waste gets burned or thrown in the landfill and this has greatly contributed to environmental degradation and accelerated climate change.
@ecodesigns was created to solve this problem of textile offcuts pollution and textile waste pollution as a whole. At @ecodesigns, we are collecting the textile offcuts from tailors and repurposing them to produce pillows, dolls, chalkboard dusters, etc.

Thanks @adollaraday and thanks for continuing to support us!
I really like how the waste of someone can be the treasure of someone else. Helping the environment by reducing the amount of waste thrown to the earth. Great project!
