A garment-to-garment recycling system developed by the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) was part of Tokyo’s Good Design Exhibition 2021, which closed on November 21.

HKRITA describes the technology as “a unique mini-scale production line set-up” recycles used garments into new ones. The institute’s chief executive, Edwin Keh, has said the garment-to-garment system can help consumers “rethink the intrinsic value of our clothes” and contribute to solving environmental challenges presented by the clothing industry.
