Stitch Together - Design Team Member Recruitment
"Stitch Together" is a collaborative project between HKUST Connect and INNOTIER, dedicated to repurposing and upcycling used antimicrobial fabrics (Ionic+™ fibres). Our mission is to create a sustainable society by minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. Join our design team to create useful gifts for the needy using the fabrics, and help us showcase the practicality of a sustainable lifestyle in Hong Kong.
The Ionic+™ fibres woven onto the fabrics release silver ions (Ag+) and will act in several ways to inhibit and eliminate viruses and bacteria on the surface, protecting the fabrics from microbial impact. To support your creativity in transforming the materials, we will invite an INNOTIER representative to provide essential knowledge and characteristics about antimicrobial fabrics. We will also offer training and guidance on ideation and sewing techniques to assist you in turning your ideas into tangible prototypes.
The Stitch Together project will benefit society as we gift upcycled quality products to the community, reduce landfill waste and minimize consumption of resources by saving used materials. By crafting the products, you can contribute not only to a more sustainable future but also to the promotion of a sustainable lifestyle in the community.
As a member of the Stitch Together Design Team, your responsibilities include:
- Designing and upcycling used antimicrobial fabrics, giving them a second life
- Producing high-quality and useful products with care.
- Promoting a sustainable lifestyle within the community.
