Reducing Textile Waste in the Fashion Industry || Remainders Creative Reuse Tour

The fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to global waste with 92 million tonnes of textile waste produced every year. Shocking, right? But we have a solution! Check out our latest episode on the Sustainability Nuggets Podcast, where we visit the Remainders Creative Reuse in Pasadena, California. This non-profit creative space diverts usable materials from landfills through its arts and crafts thrift store. Join Toban Nichols, the education director, as he takes us on a tour and shares valuable insights on creative reuse and sustainability. Don't miss out on this eye-opening conversation.

This place is just like Scrap in Portland, Oregon! They have something similar. I had a great time watching this video since I'm currently working a project on this topic! Hopefully, people get more into the circular economy, it is a painful amount of textiles that end up in landfills. We are not even talking about textiles that flood other countries as second-hand clothing and end up littering the whole place. I could go and on but let me stop here. Great video!

Chioma, thanks for your comment!
We do need more people to get involved in making the fashion industry circular.
The amount of textile waste being generated is very concerning but its a consolation that there are organizations like Remainders, Scrap, FABSCRAPS, and many others providing solutions.
