Project: making nail dresses + mattresses and pillowcases + educational aids for children
Place in the competition: 1st / canvas
The idea came from my observation of the presence of raw materials in the form of remnants of fabrics and yarns resulting from ready-made garment factories. These remnants are confined to the item of environmental waste that is parked until it rots and bacteria grow on it or is burned, which negatively affects the environment and when it is optimally exploited, the effects of its presence on the environment are mitigated. The environment and the disposal of the damage caused when burning to get rid of them
The innovation in my project is to transform the raw material that is treated as waste or a burden on the environment into the production of products that can be traded in the local and international markets by optimizing their use.
Which provides job opportunities for young people and job opportunities for female breadwinners through handicrafts in exploiting the leftover fabrics and converting them into products that are sold to increase income
My project provides an added value to the product, the environment and the community, where clothing products are made in different forms from fabric waste, and this guides the consumption of raw materials and reduces the burden of damages resulting from them when stored in improper ways. In addition to increasing job opportunities for youth and women breadwinners, increasing income and acquiring handicrafts by training using these remnants.
Recycled products have low prices that suit the Egyptian market with aesthetic and functional quality.
I participated in the “Dayra” competition because of my passion to connect with the women of the private community to enable them to gain my experience in my project
