TextileRefuge
De los residuos de la moda rápida a la vivienda asequible
La moda rápida ha provocado un aumento de los residuos de ropa, y Europa exporta ropa usada de mala calidad a países en desarrollo, lo que causa daños medioambientales, sobre todo en el barrio marginal de Chorkor, en Ghana. TextileRefuge transforma este problema en una solución creando Limetex, un material de construcción fabricado con residuos textiles y cal, probado en el Politécnico de Milán. El proyecto ofrece oportunidades de empleo, formación y viviendas sostenibles, promoviendo una economía circular. TextileRefuge reduce los residuos, mejora las condiciones de vida y demuestra cómo un problema medioambiental puede convertirse en una oportunidad de desarrollo.
