This report, based on the research in 'Going Eco Going Cellulose' (Saxion/ArtEZ 2017-2019) describes a design-driven, multi-stakeholder and interdisciplinary design approach and forms of co-creation, and offers insights into (newly developed) circular design principles.
This is a further development of 'Closing the Loop Design Guideline for Recycling', based on the research 'Going Circular Going Cellulose' (Saxion/ArtEZ, 2018-2020). This guideline provides practical tools for fashion and textile designers to achieve circular designs.
This article presents the results of the research project 'Going Eco, Going Dutch' (2015-2017), which investigated the production, design and branding of fashion textiles made from locally produced hemp fibres in the Netherlands.
A pilot guide for fashion designers developed in the Closing the Loop project (ArtEZ/Saxion, 2015-2017) describing a set of design and production guidelines that contribute to closing the textile value chain and have a positive impact on consumers and the environment, with minimal environmental impact.
