Why upcycling is better choice for environment, with Lili Dreyer l 018
Manage episode 346209127 series 3285093
In this weeks episode of Startup Playground Podcast, you are gonna hear about upcycling. You will be able to understand what is upcycling and why is it a better choice for the environment rather than just throwing your textile waste in a landfill. Therefore, Sweetcast Media hosted Lili Dreyer - Founder of WAIR - a startup aiming to give textile waste a second chance. They don’t see used textiles as waste, but as valuable material, that they can use to make awesome and sustainable footwear.
WHY UPCYCLING OF TEXTILE WASTE?
There are many industries that contribute to the environmental problems that the world is currently facing, but few as much as the fashion industry. Despite its pretty facade, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry globally. Fast fashion has resulted in millions of tonnes of resource-intensive textiles being produced for fashion items, only for them to be thrown away after increasingly shorter lifespans.
The circular economy is critical in preventing this. Fashion upcycling means transforming textile waste into new products with the same or higher value, and therefore plays an important role in achieving a circular economy. However upcycling is not a widespread practice, which is due to the fact that it is difficult to make scalable and profitable. Wair is here to change that, by giving textile waste a second chance by transforming it into upcycled shoes.
