21. Recycling Textile Waste Inspiring Solutions for a Better World

How does textile waste contribute to climate change?

FABSCRAP provides one solution.

Our speaker, Erin Wiens, is an ethical textile waste management advocate currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Her experience as a buyer in secondhand clothing spurred her interest in holding the fashion industry accountable for its environmental impact.

Currently, in Erin’s role as Community Lead at FABSCRAP, she works to educate local communities, schools, and designers about textile waste and hopeful solutions. Erin strives to make the fashion industry more equitable and sustainable through implementing circular design, redefining waste as a resource, and advocating for climate justice.
