IQTEST garments are
made through the upcycling of
fabrics from large scale fabric cutting factories.The
garments are made with the fabric that is
intended for the landfills.
Many
tons of
fabric makes its way to landfills each day.When large quantities of garments are cut out a lot of fabric is
thrown
away.Much of the fabric could be
recycled into rags, yarn or new fabric.Instead the fabric is thrown away adding toxic dyes to the
environment.Additionally the process of creating the
fabric in the first place uses energy and causes pollution.
Through
IQTEST’s
intervention the fabric that is salvaged is kept out of the landfills.Also IQTEST garments are made from the shapes
of fabrics that are found. If large pieces are salvaged these are cut
into
garments and the extra made into a garment its shape facilitates. IQTESTuses as much of the salvaged fabrics as
