Penerapan Zero Waste Pattern Pada Busana Kerja Modest Wear (Studi Kasus: Brand Budestore)

Efektivitas pola zero waste dalam mengatasi permasalahan limbah tekstil yang dihasillkan oleh industri fashion. Industri fashion dikenal sebagai salah satu penyumbang terbesar limbah tekstil di dunia, yang berdampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Pola zero waste, yang memaksimalkan penggunaan kain tanpa meninggalkan sisa potongan, muncul sebagai solusi potensial untuk mengurangi limbah ini. Budestore, yang bergerak di bidang penjualan fashion modest wear sejak 2015, menghadapi masalah limbah kain perca sebesar 15% dari produksi mereka. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menerapkan teknik zero waste pattern pada busana kerja modest wear di Budestore dan memahami perkembangan busana kerja modest dengan teknik tersebut. Zero Waste Pattern menghilangkan limbah disetiap tahap produksi, terutama pada tahap desain. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif eksplorasi dengan pendekatan Design Thinking model Hasso Plattner Stanford yang meliputi lima tahap: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, dan Test. Perancangan busana kerja modest menggunakan teknik zero waste pattern dengan style classic casual dan Japanese look, warna yang digunakan light blue, navy, dan putih. Berdasarkan pembahasan yang telah diuraikan, penulis mendapatkan kesimpulan bahwa dapat tercapainya penerapan teknik zero waste pattern pada busana kerja modest dapat menjadi alternatif solusi untuk meminimalisir limbah kain agar tidak berakhir di Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA).

The effectiveness of the zero waste pattern in overcoming the problem of textile waste produced by the fashion industry. The fashion industry is known as one of the largest contributors to textile waste in the world, which has a negative impact on the environment. Zero waste patterns, which maximize fabric use without leaving scraps, are emerging as a potential solution to reduce this waste. Budestore, which has been engaged in selling modest wear fashion since 2015, faces the problem of rag waste amounting to 15% of their production. The aim of this research is to apply the zero waste pattern tehcnique to modest work clothing at Budestore and understand the development of modest work clothing using this technique. Zero Waste Pattern eliminates waste at every stage production, especially at the design stage. The method used is an exploratory qualitative method using the Hasso Plattner Stanford Design Thinking model approach which includes five stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. The design of modest work clothes uses zero waste pattern techniques with a classic casual style and Japanese look, the colors used are light blue, navy, and white. Based on the discussion that has been described, the author comes to the conclusion that the application of zero waste pattern techniques to modest work clothes can be an alternative solution to minimize fabric waste so that it does not end up in final disposal sites (TPA).
