Abstract
En el mercado peruano existen empresas textiles que desean transicionar
progresivamente hacia la sostenibilidad, pero no cuentan con herramientas
para hacerlo. A nivel de Lima Metropolitana, Metal Jeans, una empresa dentro
del ecosistema industrial textil local, forma parte de este panorama. Los retazos
de denim que esta empresa descarta en su proceso productivo se identificaron
como un área de oportunidad, la cual coincidía con el trabajo de la asociación
de arpilleras de Pamplona Artex, quienes podrían transformar la merma en
aplicaciones de mayor valor que a su vez les permita a ellas abrirse paso en el
mercado limeño en el rubro textil sostenible, como sustento para sus familias.
Para el abordaje de este contexto, se exploraron conceptos desde los campos
de la psicología, marketing, sociología, sostenibilidad y teoría del diseño, al
igual que se revisaron productos, servicios y sistemas existentes, sobre lo cual
se identificó presentan limitaciones en cuanto a su pertinencia económica,
social e infraestructural. Ante esto se propone ‘Segunda Puntada’, un Sistema
Comunitario Industrial-Artesanal de revalorización de residuos textiles, el cual
implementa un abordaje comunitario al diseño de sistemas y considera la
revalorización de retazos de denim como medio de inserción en el mercado
sostenible, reivindicando el rol percibido de los artesanos dentro del proceso de
producción y consumo en Lima. Se realizaron estudios inductivos, de
conceptualización y validación, y luego de múltiples estrategias de análisis, se
logró corroborar el potencial de esta propuesta para movilizar a los actores
involucrados hacia un cambio sistémico hacia la sostenibilidad, al mismo
tiempo que se pudo reflexionar sobre las implicancias del proyecto para el
campo del diseño de sistemas, la interculturalidad y abordajes descoloniales, y
los caminos hacia la sostenibilidad en el Perú.
In the Peruvian market, there are textile companies that wish to progressively transition towards sustainability, but do not have the tools to do so. At the level of Metropolitan Lima, Metal Jeans, a company within the local textile industrial ecosystem, is part of this panorama. The denim scraps that this company discards in its production process were identified as an area of opportunity, which coincided with the work of the Pamplona Artex association of arpilleras, who could transform the scraps into higher-value applications that in turn would allow them to break into the Lima market in the sustainable textile sector, as a livelihood for their families. To address this context, concepts were explored from the fields of psychology, marketing, sociology, sustainability and design theory, as well as reviewing existing products, services and systems, which were identified as having limitations in terms of their economic, social and infrastructural relevance. In view of this, 'Segunda Puntada' (Second Stitch) is proposed, as an Industrial-Craft Community-Based System for the revaluation of textile waste, which implements a community approach to system design and considers the revaluation of denim scraps as a means of insertion in the sustainable market, vindicating the perceived role of artisans within the production and consumption process in Lima. Inductive, conceptualisation and validation studies were carried out, and after multiple analysis strategies, it was possible to corroborate the potential of this proposal to mobilize the actors involved towards a systemic change towards sustainability, while at the same time reflecting on the implications of the project for the field of systems design, interculturality and decolonial approaches, and the paths towards sustainability in Peru.
