Exploring the Transformation of Plastic Bottles into Fashion with Kris Barber, Director at DGRADE, a Dubai-based company approaching recycling from a fashion perspective. DGRADE innovatively produces sustainable clothing by repurposing recycled plastic bottles.

Dubai is spearheading the creation of eco-friendly garments from plastic bottles, and DGRADE, a fashion startup, is at the forefront of this movement. Utilizing plastic bottles, they craft polyester shirts, potentially surpassing the popularity of traditional polyester. The project envisions expanding its repertoire to include an array of sustainable clothing made from recycled plastic bottles.

DGrade stands out as a pioneer in the sustainable clothing industry, specializing in designing and manufacturing custom-made uniforms and corporate wear from recycled plastic bottles. Their Greenspun™ technology not only enables the production of high-quality clothing but also serves as a valuable raw material. DGRADE supplies flake and film to local packaging manufacturers, fostering the creation of closed-loop plastic products in the region.
