Frameworq Education Society, a non-profit organization with the mission to overthrow a throwaway culture, bring back repair skills, build resilient communities, and divert textile waste from the landfill. Frameworq is a Design Lab, advocating the principles of Circular Economy through a series of upcycling workshops and events to promote healthy and sustainable closed loop practices by designers,
consumers and retailers. Taking special interest in textile waste practices in Vancouver, Frameworq launched a 2 month Upcycling Project in 2015, featuring a group of independent designers and 2 classes from the fashion design program at a local college. The work of the designers was revealed at a 2 weeks exhibition at Dudoc Vancouver and culminated in a Fashion show at Club FiveSixty, operated by 40 volunteers and drawing almost 200 guests and industry. Currently Frameworq is developing an educational sustainability program for designers and continuing to advocate the principles of circular Economy and sustainability through its online platform and recurring series of Fix-It events.
