Unifardas has a new Zero Waste outfit entirely made from sustainable fabrics. TecoWork Ecogreen was the name given to the uniform, destined for industry workers, which was on display at the iTechStyle Green Circle. The design was thought out to provide total comfort to the worker, while being functional at the same time.
In order to promote maximum use of the fabric, the company explained that the cuts and curves were replaced by straight lines, “which facilitated the fitting of the moulds”. When there was a need to keep the curved, “fabric leftovers were used to reinforce seams or to make pockets or belts”, they detail.
The outfit, made of waterproof pants and jacket, results from a combination of streetwear and workwear. The materials used were Lyocell and recycled polyester. “We used two sustainable fabrics for the ECO700: the light grey fabric is made up of 35% Lyocell (wooden fibre of sustainable origin) and 65% recycled polyester (from plastic bottles)”, the company stated. Seaqual recycled polyester was used for the black bits of the uniform.
