Milou Voorwinden is innovating the existing fashion and textile industry by developing 3D weaving techniques. She creates a 'fold-out' fabric, which comes right off the loom as a complete garment, such as a pair of trousers or a bag. This on-demand approach results in zero-waste.

Garment industry

The garment industry is one of the biggest polluters in the world, generating a significant amount of waste during production. Just processing a piece of textile into a fashion item generates 15-20% material waste. Additionally, 30% of the clothes produced end up as waste due to overproduction by clothing labels. Consumers also throw away a large proportion of the clothes purchased within a year, because the next trend beckons, or the clothing doesn't fit properly.
