Zero waste fashion Zero means no quantity or nothing and waste is eliminated or discarded as no longer useful or required after the completion of the process . Therefore, the process of discarding nothing in the creation of fashion is zero waste fashion. It refers to items of clothing that generate little or no textile waste in their production. It can be considered to be a part of the boarder sustainable fashion movement. Unlike latest technologies being introduced in the clothing industry for sustainable fashion, zero waste technique is a complete change in the traditional pattern making process. Zero waste techniques have been used earlier for making garments like Kimonos, Saris, Chiton, and other folk costumes. These traditional clothes make use of the concept of utilization of the whole width of a fabric. Hence contrary to conventional garment manufacturing units, where twenty percent of the fabric is wasted by scraps and the negative spaces created for pattern pieces, zero waste clothes are designed by using technically advanced methods of pattern making, in order to use a fabric from selvedge to selvedge. At present there are many approaches and techniques of zero waste design which include draping, pattern cutting, and knitting. With the advent of slow fashion and rise in the demand for clothing created sustainably and ethically, there are many designers who have ventured into the art of creating garments with minimal waste. The fashion industry produce more than 8% of green house gases and 20% of globalwaste water annually. 85%of textile end up in landfills. Zero waste fashion can be divided into two general approach. 1.Pre-consumer zero waste fashion Eliminates waste during manufacturers 2.Post-consumer zero waste fashion Generates clothing from post consumer garments such as second hand clothing, eliminating waste at what would normally be the end of the product use life of a garment. With the importance of sustainability growing by and large across apparel manufacturers and the textile industry, the concept of zero waste design, needs to progress from individual designers to mass markets and towards commercialization to change the way textiles are being used and building positive environmental results.
