Zero Waste Fashion – Circular and Regenerative Design Methodology

Zero Waste Fashion is a consolidated design-based methodology that eliminates material waste from the earliest stages of the creative process. It is grounded in pattern thinking, systemic design and creative education, enabling circular and regenerative practices within the fashion and creative industries.

Developed and led by CreaMoDITE, the methodology goes beyond product design to function as a transferable framework for education, innovation and cultural change. It supports organisations in rethinking how garments, skills and value are generated, shifting from extractive models to circular and socially responsible ones.

What we offer

• A proven zero-waste design methodology applicable to education, training programmes and pilot projects.

• Expertise in circular economy applied to textiles and fashion, combining creativity, sustainability and cultural value.

• Capacity to support workshops, training actions, pilot implementations and methodology transfer for organisations, institutions and creative ecosystems.

• Experience in linking design practice with skills development, social impact and regenerative thinking.

We are interested in collaborating with:

• Organisations, clusters or hubs working on sustainability, circular economy and design innovation.
