He said weight loss after
bariatric surgery is a gradual
process that takes up to 1.5 to two
years after the operation and
requires consistent healthy eating
and regular exercise.

“Bariatric surgery is a safe and
effective intervention that may
lead to the resolution or
prevention of several conditions
that include heart disease, high
blood pressure or hypertension,
Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea.

“The surgery could even lower
a person’s risk of premature death
by 30% to 50%. In short, only obese
patients with certain pre-existing
medical conditions and have a
BMI (body mass index) reading of
more than 32 may qualify for
bariatric surgery.”

Bariatric surgery previously
required the surgeon to make a big
incision in the abdominal area.

technology, this can now also be
done with laparoscopy and
keyhole surgery, which shortens

– ETX STUDIO
As a result, everything from subway seating
and broken umbrellas to potato chips packets,
socks and food waste are now materials of
choice for a host of young talents who are trying
to cut down on waste while raising public
awareness about the issue of overproduction.

‘Nothing is lost, nothing is created,
everything is transformed’. This quote,
attributed to Antoine Lavoisier, who formulated
the theory of mass, takes on a whole new
meaning today with the practice of upcycling,
which involves giving a second life to any kind
of object initially destined for the trash – and
even enhancing or embellishing it.

In fact, waste now even constitutes a not
insignificant raw material for many fashion
designers, who are determined to revolutionize
the practices of one of the world’s most
polluting industries.

Four million tonnes of textile waste
According to a 2020 report by McKinsey, the
global fashion industry’s carbon footprint
amounted to 2.1 billion tonnes of greenhouse
gases in 2019, equivalent to about 4% of global
greenhouse gas emissions.

Excessive water consumption, usage of
chemicals and waste all contribute to the
industry’s impact on the planet each year. For
example, Europeans throw out some four
million tonnes of textiles each year, 80% of
which are discarded with household waste –
i.e., in garbage cans – and end up in landfill or
incinerators, or make their way to the African
continent.

Faced with the climate emergency,
committed industry players are trying to
revolutionise an entire sector through
upcycling, with the aim of transforming
fashion’s waste into something more beautiful.

Once maligned, and mostly discarded, waste
materials – sometimes the most surprising – are
given a new life to transform our wardrobes
sustainably. Fabric scraps, airbags, sushi,
umbrellas, seafood, cocoa bean husks, potato
chips packets, and seating textiles are now
among the raw materials being put to use by
designers, entrepreneurs, or others keen to
drive change and shape the ready-to-wear
collections of tomorrow.

his side the match.

“The reasons were millimetric. The offsides, they have a
high defensive line, we knew that any goal situation
would go for or against us,” said Scaloni.

“In this case, the semi-automatic offside technology
took a goal away from us. That’s the way it is, we
congratulate our rivals.”

Argentina struggled to create much after the break
having dominated the first half, giving nothing away.

“It’s hard to take. We could have been 2-0 up, but in
two sudden moments, the game changed.”

“Four or five minutes (after the break) they scored two
goals, their only two shots on target,” said Scaloni.

“Today is a sad day but as we always say, head up and
carry on.”

Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez admitted the defeat
and loss of Argentina’s long unbeaten run was tough to
take, and said the team could no longer afford any slip-
ups.

“We’re hurting, hurting a lot from our first defeat (in
more than three years), and on top of that at the World
Cup,” he said.

“Today we expected to play like it was a final, but we
didn’t do that. After we scored the first goal we relaxed a
bit… and we paid for that.” – AFP
