Eco-Clothing Development Based on Energy Saving and Multi-Functional Transformation

Abstract:

In view of the product development situation in the apparel industry characterized by high consumption of raw materials, the author proposes to use raw materials for one garment to satisfy the function of raw materials for two or more garments. By determining the orientation of experimental products through market research, and using pattern transformation technology experiment of garments and related supplies, the author has designed and made the combination enabling mutual transformation of outdoor clothing and outdoor tent, thus extended the ecological philosophy of garment product development. Furthermore, the author leads consumers to ecological consumption through the eco-product development, and gives suggestions on virtuous cycle of low-carbon production and consumption in the apparel industry.
