Dean's Page Sustainability Project

Over the summer, me and the other Dean’s Pages in the Wilson College of Textiles worked on a project to cut down on waste in our community while making useful items for students. We took leftover blankets and towels from local concert venues that were going to be thrown away, deep cleaned them in our dyeing and finishing lab, and turned them into washcloths and hand towels. We handed everything out to students at NC State’s Packapalooza, and it was such a fun and rewarding experience because I got to help reduce textile waste while supporting students. You can see what the process looked like in the reel I made for the NC State Wilson College of Textiles Instagram page: <3 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNo5S1vs0So/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
