A tote-bag made out of a biodegradable composition, resourcing the waste of garlic peels for its fabric production. Created in Portugal, where around 1 million tons of food are lost annually while the textile sector is responsible for 20% of the contamination of fresh water, the main strategy of the project was to use waste disposal for its fabrication. The elaboration of the bio-textile began with the exploration of the composition of various food residues, such as coffee grounds, wood ashes, peanut hulls, garlic husks, etc., opting for the latter being typical of Mediterranean cuisine.
