The health of our planet is important. Textile waste is a huge issue that could be solved by more conscious and informed decision-making in how unwanted material is discarded. In addition to reselling, donating or repurposing, recycling is a viable and eco-friendly alternative.

The intent of the design is to primarily serve as an informative and inspiring resource for those interested in learning more about or participating in the mission of textile recycling. 

The feelings the design is intended to convey: mindful, simplified, eco-friendly.

The logotype plays on the words 'again' and 'a gain'. The consumer is evidently gaining something from the experience as well as allowing the textiles to have purpose again. In a way the period between 'a' + 'gain' is symbolically the consumer, as they are the necessary component to make the positive changes.

The style of the photography is inspired by the participating brands, while representing textiles as glamorously damaged and/or lifeless.
