MEREUSO

Sustainability consultancy for Adrissa SA

Medellín, Colombia.

2016-2018


Project with Sandra Sanchez, co-founder of Adrissa, a women's apparel company with more than 30 years of experience in the city of Medellin, with the aim of developing possibilities of sustainable transformation in the company's processes and corporate culture.

Me Reuso alludes to the verb refuse (rehusarse in Spanish) but also to reuse (re-usar); it reflects on refusing to accept the current global crisis, and reusing as a way to regenerate ecosystem damage by extending and connecting the life cycles of matter.

In the first stage of the project, a product line (home textiles) was developed based on the reuse of waste and textile surpluses from the company. In a second stage we worked on identifying sustainability indicators in critical condition in the company, in order to prioritize problems and ways to address them. We seeked to develop direct or indirect work strategies with the end user and with the textile/apparel businesses ecosystem to establish ways of feedback on sustainability for the sector.
