北安普顿大学学生发挥可持续利用的能力，化废布为时尚
北安普顿大学时尚专业的学生利用废弃的边角布料设计制作了一系列的时装单品。
Lochcarron of Scotland，一个苏格兰格子布的生产商，捐献了150公斤的边角碎布料给学校时尚专业、时尚纺织专业和鞋履配饰设计专业的大四学生。
学生要挑战利用这些废弃的材料去设计和制作，最后他们呈现的结果不乏令人惊艳的作品，其中包括手套、夹克、背心、头饰、连衣裤和连衣裙。以下是部分学生的设计作品：
这个活动项目的发起正值全球时尚行业面临提高可持续性的压力。在2017年，英国国会对此成立了一个环境审核委员会咨询组。时尚设计专业的学生Amy White利用废布料设计制作了一件全身的“太空服”。
她说：“利用废弃布料进行创作这对于我来说是一个全新的体验。这意味着我需要应对布料有限这一情况，不同于批量生产的材料，这些布料都是很零散的、各式各样的，并且我在颜色配色上也收到了限制。”
“制作这样一件服装也是很费时的，我需要一针一针地将每一片布料拼接起来，但是我觉得最终效果还是不错的。而且重点是我利用了一些即将被废弃在堆填区的材料制作了一件人们可以穿上身的时装。”
Amy补充道：“利用废布料进行制作不适合大批量化的服装流水线生产，但是我觉得私人设计师对此则有更大的创作空间，他们可以利用这些废布料制作出很独特和受欢迎的作品。”
Margaret Bates教授是北安普顿大学可持续废物管理专业的教授，她对于这些学生的作品感到非常自豪。她说“我们的学生能够跳出快时尚的潮流并且将废品设计成这么漂亮的作品。”
学校的时尚专业部门在可持续性的领域正在进行改革发展。在六月，纺织时尚专业的学生，Radka Blazickova利用塑料瓶制作了一系列作品，获得全国赞誉。在五月，五个时尚专业的学生利用可回收材料为一个工业生产项目制作了一系列可持续利用的服装。同时，项目负责人Emmeline Child对循环经济进行了研究，旨在解决生产商制造的消费前废物问题。Emmeline说：“随着循环经济的谈论逐渐增多，并给越来越多人认识到服装生产线上的放射性问题，这样的项目在减少生产中原始材料数量的同时，提高了人们对一些行业问题的认识。”
