Recycle Runway Mission
Recycle Runway strives to change the way people live
on the earth
through innovative environmental educational
initiatives
that showcase couture fashions
made from trash.
 Environmental educator, artist and recycling consultant, Nancy Judd started
Recycled Runway eleven years ago. While working as the Recycling Coordinator for the
City of Santa Fe and then as the Executive Director of the New Mexico Recycling
Coalition, Ms. Judd recognized that art and fashion could be
used to raise the environmental consciousness of the public in a fun and
positive way. Her project began with the Recycle
Santa Fe Art Market & Fashion Contest. Designing
garments to promote this event led to the creation
of the Recycle Runway Collection which has been featured in press worldwide including the front
page of the Wall Street Journal.

RECYCLED FASHION DESIGN
Each of Ms. Judd's
unique recycled designs
takes between 100-400 hours to make.
She has received commissions to create fashions for
Toyota,
Coca-Cola,
Target,
Novelis Recycling,
the Glass
Packaging Institute.
The purpose
of the garments is to
capture the
public's attention and inspire people to consider the environment in
their daily choices at work, home, school and in all their community
activities.
The
recycled fashions are used in public exhibits, class rooms, and media
internationally... spreading the concept of ecological citizenship!
Sponsor a Recycle Runway Fashion
and promote your environmental programs to millions of people!

THE AIRPORT PROJECT
Pittsburg International Airport,
an exhibit of shoes and purses
attracts the attention of a
mother and her daughters. |
|
Airports provide a unique
opportunity to reach millions of
people often with time to spare.
The Recycle Runway Collection
attracts traveler's attention
and provides well-crafted
environmental messages in a
unique context. It is
environmental education that is
fun, positive and engaging! |
The
airport exhibits encourage people
to rethink their definition of "waste" and inspire people to consider the
impact of their choices on the earth.
Following is the Recycle Runway
exhibit schedule:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Nov
2010-Oct 2011

WORKING WITH YOUTH
Working
with children is one of Ms. Judd passions. She
gives presentations and workshops to youth
nationwide using her recycled fashions to
inspire kids to understand their impact on
the earth in a fun and creative context!

At a Los Angeles Montessori School, Ms.
Judd shows how paper is made. (On the screen in the background is a photo
of her Junk Mail Fan Dress.) The children
learn that recycling uses less resources and
creates less pollution than making new
products. |
