Project description:

 

UC Davis Black to Grey 

The Zero Waste and Sustainability Club at UC Davis is collaborating with Black To Grey, a company that converts old, unwearable clothes into new sustainably made garmets. This circular economy approach to "new" clothing aims to disrupt the fashion industry and reduce the amount of textile-related waste that goes to landfill each year (3.8 billion pounds).

The Zero Waste and Sustainability Club has designed graphics related to the UC Davis community as well as sustainability and waste reduction, and make the garmets available for purchase by UC Davis students, staff, faculty, and visitors.
