The largest worldwide textile product expo in Germany, known as Heimtextil, not only contributed to increasing exports of Pakistani items but has also been an excellent forum for highlighting the potential of young Pakistani designers.
At the trade exhibition, rugs and mats manufactured from textile waste by a Pakistani textile designer drew the attention of major brands and European design companies.
Um-e-Kulsoom Ali Akbar, an alumnus of the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, has turned surplus fabric from the production of T-shirts into stunning handcrafted rugs and mats.
Her innovative approach would prevent environmental pollution caused by textile industry waste while also earning revenue for the country.
Akbar’s mats and rugs were the focal points of worldwide brands, interior designers, and design firms at a unique pavilion emphasizing eco-friendly methods in the textile sector.
She was chosen in a global competition for material recycling and making the textile business more environmentally sustainable. In this competition, conducted by New and Next University, 150 students from over 33 institutions across the world presented their ideas and theses on textile recycling and environmental protection.
The Express Tribune reported the young designer, at her stall at Heimtextil, as saying that, in addition to Europe, China, and Japan, top businesses in Pakistan have expressed interest in her methods. She remarked that textile waste pollution has gotten little attention in Pakistan thus far since most people have seen only plastic pollution as a danger to the environment.
So much talent.
Very little used, but good on you for coming up with recycling ideas.
Shows what one can do if only given a chance.
Its amazing ذرا نمہو تو یہ مٹی بڑی ذرخیز ہے ساقی
Its great that we are still flourishing in international market for the export and designs of hand made carpets that too with environmental protection.
This could be Good source of income from abroad.
More awareness at domestic level to flourish it as a source of income from abroad.
Good job!
Great, MashAllahh!
Its so proud to see Pakistani talent gaining international attention.
And expressing yourself from waste while addressing such a global issue of pollution is a next level approach.
Keep going✌️
Never over-express yourself in descriptions. There is no mention in the article that her work ‘took German expo by storm’. It would have been enough to say that interest was shown in her work at the expo.
We have to go a long way before we take anyone ‘ by storm’. Lavish praise does not change the reality.
Come on commenters…all said and done, this is innovative and laudable. For the environment, its another step, big, small, whatever. All praise due. Kudos.
Pro Pakistani is good site but too much adds, reading this article but adds don’t allow me to finish it. Popup belows again and again, move screen up or down, that divert attention and irritate reader. even i stop top reading.
