Disposable clothing is an essential part of everyday life in hospitals. It protects the staff and patients from the spread of disease. However, each procedure generates about 30m2 of synthetic textile waste. To change this, I designed a concept for fully circular clothes. Based on the knowledge of experts, experiments and in contact with manufacturers, I developed garments for the unique requirements of hospitals. The project aims to offer a new solution for a sustainable hospital environment.
