M. Tech. Textile Design and Technology / Scientific research shows that the earth's natural resources are being depleted too fast for it to sustain a healthy balance, while global warming and pollution prove to be increasing problems for the environment. By re-using and recycling waste, natural resources are conserved while waste is prevented or delayed from being dumped or incinerated. Globally textile waste could be viewed as an untapped source. In some developed countries, up to ninety five percent of textiles that are land-filled, have the potential to be recycled. The process of textile recycling has the potential to reduce textile waste through creating marketable products from recycled waste. The aim of this research is to create better understanding regarding the reusable potential of textile waste by developing marketable strategies that can be implemented with regard to textile waste.

Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the increase in population, urbanization, cheap energies, and new technologies have bankrupted the environment into destruction. This chaos has created a society that transformed itself into one of continual wasting, where energy and resources are constantly dissipating. The myriad of new materials, the decline of the skilled craftsman, and cheap construction are part of the lexicon that defines the 21st century built landscape and ultimately contribute to current plight. Architecture will become an increasingly significant factor in determining the sustainability of the built environment, as defined in terms of life span, carbon footprint, and in our ability to confine this dissipated and inert energy into near infinite circulation. This thesis investigates methods to maximize the value of existing resources such as waste in the context of a much larger framework of systems—societal, socioeconomic, geopolitical, and environmental factors that concern the current discourse. An analysis of design methods and strategies into the ecology of waste, such as: cradle to cradle, secondary re-use of post consumer materials, embodied energy, life-cycle analysis tools, and design for deconstruction—aid in a series of themed hypotheses and experimental projects. These projects use waste and wasted landscape to seek answers to a series of questions that deal with the future predicament of our cities in order to shift perceptions and form contemporary methodologies that assist in calibrating potentials for future waste and waste-scapes.
