Plant Pant is a collaborative student project dedicated to reducing waste in the textile industry by using 100% biodegradable fabric in all designs. Rather than landfill contribution, edible plants are the end product of these pants because seeds are embedded in every pair. Burying these pants in the ground also supports the local food movement.
The fashion industry is on an usustainable trajectory. Global annual textile waste exceeds 11 milliions tons. In a world of fast fashion, buying a garment can cost less than getting a cup of coffee. This cost does not take into account all the environmental damage encurred in the manufacturing and trasportation processes. As the speed and quantitiy of low quality clothing production increases this problem continues to worsen. Plant pant aims to use technology and innovation to be part of the solution.
