People power solutions 💪 We visited @fab_scrap warehouse recently and saw firsthand how over 2 million pounds of textile waste have been diverted from landfill. Bonus: They’re always looking for volunteers to continue building on their success over the last 10 years. #brooklyn #sustainability #recycling #fabric

POV: Two Eco-Friendly Doormats Made at the Same Time ♻️🛞👕 | Rubber vs Cloth ♻️ Two recycling journeys. One sustainable home. Watch two completely different manufacturing processes unfold side by side. Old tyres and worn-out slippers become durable outdoor doormats, while discarded clothes and textile waste are transformed into soft indoor mats. 🛞 Recycled rubber → Outdoor protection. 👕 Recycled clothes → Indoor comfort. 🌍 Zero waste. Endless possibilities. Which one would you choose? #Doormat, #EcoFriendly, #RecycledRubber, #RecycledClothes, #RubberRecycling, #TextileRecycling, #WasteToWealth, #HowItsMade, #POV, #Manufacturing, #FactoryProcess, #CircularEconomy, #SustainableLiving, #IndustrialProcess, #JacquardWeaving, #HydraulicPress, #HomeDecor, #MadeInIndia, #DiscoveryChannelStyle, #NationalGeographicStyle, #OddlySatisfying, #ReelsIndia, #TrendingReels, #ViralReels, #ExplorePage, #bhanuseyestowin, #BhanuSeesToWin, #GreenLiving, #EcoProducts, #HomeEssentials

🌏 220,000 tonnes of clothing ends up in Australian landfill every year. That’s a lot. Here our Production Manager, Kim, shares how we create most of our collections from premium deadstock fabric, giving beautiful materials a second life instead of a spot in the tip. Last year, we kept 1 tonne of fabric out of landfill, turning textile waste into high-quality garments worth wearing. Fashion can be better. We’re here to prove it. 💚 #fashion #shoplocal #slowfashion

We get asked all the time what deadstock fabric actually means, so here’s a peek inside our sourcing days 🤍🧵 Deadstock fabrics are leftover materials from mills and factories that would otherwise go unused or be discarded. At Whimsy + Row, about 50% of the fabrics we work with are deadstock, giving beautiful materials a second life instead of letting them go to waste. Why we gravitate toward it: ♻️ reduces textile waste 💰 avoids large fabric minimums 🪡 allows for small batch production 👗 keeps many of our styles limited and special Think of it like a textile treasure hunt. We never know exactly what we’ll find, which is part of what makes designing this way so exciting. #deadstockfabric #sustainableclothing #slowfashion #sewingtips

From textile waste to transformative change ♻️ The Ambassador of France to Ghana, Diarra Dimé-Labille, visited @theorispresent and the vibrant Kantamanto Market, the world’s largest second-hand clothing market 🇬🇭. Welcomed by Liz Ricketts, Co-Founder of The Or Foundation, Her Excellency met the women and men who keep this remarkable ecosystem alive every day 💚. More than a market, Kantamanto is a powerful example of circularity in action. From textile waste recovery to market reconstruction, skills training and environmental initiatives, @theorispresent is working hand in hand with the community to build fairer, more sustainable alternatives to fashion’s overproduction and overconsumption 🌱. ✨ A meaningful visit highlighting the power of local leadership, innovation and collective action to create a future that works for both people and the planet 🌍. #theorfoundation #kantamanto

The kind that gives new life to clothing and keeps textile waste out of landfills😘

What looks like a pile of old clothes is actually the beginning of a remarkable recycling journey ♻️👕🏭 Textile recycling transforms discarded garments into reusable raw materials, giving old fabrics a second life instead of sending them to landfills. The process begins with collecting and sorting used clothing before powerful industrial shredders break the fabric down into loose fibers. These fibers then go through multiple cleaning and processing stages to remove dust, contaminants, and unwanted materials. Once cleaned, the fibers are blended and aligned to create a consistent material suitable for manufacturing. The processed fibers are then carded, drawn, and spun into new yarn. This recycled yarn can be used to produce fresh textiles, fabrics, and clothing, completing a circular production cycle that reduces waste and conserves valuable resources. Textile recycling plays an important role in reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry. By reusing existing materials, it helps save water, reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and keep millions of tons of textile waste out of landfills each year. It's a powerful example of how modern recycling technology can turn yesterday's clothes into tomorrow's products ♻️🧵✨ #TextileRecycling #Sustainability #Recycling #FashionIndustry #Manufacturing EcoFriendly DidYouKnow

There was a time when clothes and footwear were bought with thought. We wore them for years. We repaired them. We passed them down. Today, something strange has happened. A pair of slippers… a T-shirt… sometimes even a dress…is cheaper than a cup of matcha. And because it’s cheap, we don’t think twice. We buy it. Wear it a few times. Forget about it. But the price didn’t disappear. It simply moved… to overflowing landfills, to mountains of textile waste, to polluted rivers and exhausted resources. Fast fashion made clothes cheaper than matcha or cold coffee But the real bill is being paid by our planet. Every piece of clothing carries water, energy, labour, land and materials behind it. When we treat clothes like disposables, we are quietly turning the Earth into a dumping ground. Maybe the solution is simple. Buy a little less. Wear a little longer. Repair when possible. Donate when usable. Because clothes were never meant to be disposable. And the planet should never have to pay for our cheap fashion. #sustainability #noplanetb #ecofriendly #waste #circulareconomy

I’m actually so tired of hearing people say this so… One common criticism of resellers is that we“take clothing away from people who need it,” but this argument overlooks how secondhand markets actually work. Thrift stores, donation centers, and consignment shops receive far more donations than they can sell. Many organizations have excess inventory that is discounted further, shipped to outlet locations, sold in bulk, recycled into rags, or even sent to landfills when it cannot be sold. Resellers purchase items that are already available to the public at the same prices and under the same conditions as everyone else. Rather than taking items from specific individuals, they participate in the same open marketplace as every other shopper. Resellers also provide value beyond simply buying and reselling an item. They spend time searching through thousands of products, identifying quality pieces, cleaning and repairing clothing, photographing items, writing descriptions, answering customer questions, and shipping orders. Many buyers are willing to pay for this convenience because it saves them time and gives them access to unique, vintage, or discontinued items they would not have found otherwise. In this way, resellers are offering a service, much like antique dealers, bookstores, or consignment businesses that curate products for customers. Finally, reselling can have positive economic and environmental impacts. It encourages clothing to remain in use longer, reducing textile waste and supporting a more circular fashion economy. Many resellers rely on this work to supplement their income or operate small businesses, while thrift stores often use the revenue from all shoppers—including resellers—to fund charitable programs and community services. Although concerns about affordability are valid and access to inexpensive clothing is important, there is little evidence that resellers, as a group, are the primary reason low-income shoppers cannot find affordable clothing. Instead, issues such as rising demand for secondhand goods, inflation, and pricing decisions made by thrift stores themselves play a much larger role. #thrifting #thrift #resellerwelcom
