Students in the Fashion Design Department at Okayama Prefectural Okayama Minami High School have launched a product development project focused on the apparel industry's 'clothing waste' issue. Companies including Kanko Gakuseifuku, Big John, and Hagihara Industries are providing waste materials such as uniforms, denim, and blue tarps for the students to create new value. The students will go beyond simple remaking, developing business plans that include pricing and social messaging. Prototypes and planning will continue toward a final presentation in mid-November.
