What is Zero Waste Design
What is Zero Waste Design
Origami-Inspired
Our origami-inspired designs use squares and rectangles, eliminating negative spaces, achieving virtually zero offcut fabric remnants. If we do have remnants, for example, from a pattern using round shapes such as for our bowl covers, we upcycle it by creating another product like our party garlands. Any offcuts we do not use, we send it to Phoenix Fibers for upcycling into insulation material.
Golden Ratio
Every product we make scales into the family of golden ratios. In the future, we hope to publish an “Aplat Origami Design” book filled with endless ideas of how to transform a single sheet into new forms.
