French Food Packaging.

Katell Gelebart the designer of this new collection of clothing was questioned about her decisions especially with the rejection of SunChips' compostable packaging people were wondering why she would bring them out now?  Gelebart states her idea is, "waste is a resource with lots of potential."















I think this is an absolutely wonderful idea.  In class we have talked about how many pairs of jeans or even the amount of clothing a person has.  Some of the materials are harmful to the environment and I think that if Gelebart can create clothes out of waste there could also be other alternatives for the items we just throw away. Instead of filling land fills, we could create clothes out of our waste in order to save room and even make some money off of it.

    this is awesome! It is so cool that they are using packaging to produce clothing. You waste so much material from packaging; it's time that all the packaging is useful! I would definitely purchase this new line of clothing. Next, they will be producing prom dresses!!

    This is a great invention! The only problem is that the clothing will be very expensive thus the usage of this invention will not reach its full potential
