This resource shows how textile designers are meeting the challenge from government and consumers to meet the 6Rs. Case studies include: shoes made from old tyres and seatbelts; bags made from recycled airline seats and high fashion tailoring created from second hand shop finds. The video also shows jute sacks being reprocessed into fibers then manufactured into needle punched technical textiles for use in the construction industry.
