That thought was the starting point of the graduation project for Gareema Verma and Aman Prakash, pursing the bachelor’s course in fashion technology at NIFT-Gandhinagar. In four months, the duo developed a material which is 42% more effective and has nearly double the load-bearing capacity.
Their project was adjudged the best in its category at the Graduation Showcase 2022 organized on Saturday. Buoyed by the success of the testing of the material, the team intends to patent the process. The team has continued its work with online internship with Hyderabad-based RecyKal. “Textile industry generates considerable waste. With our guide Nupur Chopra, we decided to address the problems of both textile waste and plastic waste,” said Gareema. “Multiple prototypes were made with 70-100% reclaimed fibre combined with up to 30% of specific domestic waste. The result is the material created from composite of post-consumer textile waste.”
The team said that for every kilogram of bubble wrap made with virgin plastic replaced, 22g of textile waste will be consumed. Developed products are easily recyclable and are partially biodegradable, said experts.
Students at a high school in the US state of New Jersey successfully entered the Guinness World Record books on Monday.

366 students filled the gymnasium of Hawthorne High School to set the record for the most people popping bubble wrap at one time.

Bubble wrap was invented in Hawthorne, NJ in 1960 by inventors Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding.

The head of Hawthorn High School Barry Cohen said the record attempt was to honour the town's famous invention, but also to raise money for the Sandy Hook Elementary School fund in Connecticut.
