Zero Waste Principles

—
At Tulisan, regenerative design extends beyond storytelling into our production methods, where we integrate the zero-waste principle at every stage of our process. All cutting patterns are developed with minimalist, functional forms that eliminate fabric waste, while linings are crafted from renewable material derived from post-consumer PET bottles. We partner with Waste For Change, a certified waste management company, to recycle 100% of our waste—paper, cardboard, plastic, and biowaste—while actively tracking our carbon footprint. Our repair and reconstruction services extend product life, resulting in fewer than three returns annually. To support circularity, we created GILT, an online auction platform where collectors can resell or acquire past editions. Due to scarcity, many pre-loved pieces gain higher value over time, affirming our commitment to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and regenerate.
