Reduce, Reuse, Refashioned

Welcome

The RRR project aims to improve sustainability by impacting textile waste using upcycling (a method of taking outdated/unwanted textile items and creating them into something new). We  bring upcycling to LSU’s campus by using an abundant campus resource- deadstock (unwanted/outmoded) promotional t-shirts.

Students receive/purchase t-shirts for sporting events, clubs, and other promotional events. However, to provide all sizes, some t-shirts may be unused leaving extra product that oftentimes is outdated. The goal of this project is to reduce waste by making upcycling craft kits that can be made from deadstock t-shirts. The project also educates students about textile waste and upcycling.
