Expanding the Circular Economy: Assessing the Potential of Municipal Textile Composting by Remake
Join this event where Remake Changemaker, researcher, and expert composter Ericka Leigh will share a research presentation on the potential of municipal textile composting as an innovative and under-explored solution to the clothing abundance crisis. You will be able to learn about a circular economy framework and how to minimize waste and increase reuse efforts. The benefits of textile composting will be illustrated as an avenue for achieving circularity by transforming natural fiber textiles into valuable soil amendments that support carbon sequestration and soil health restoration. Early findings suggest that municipal textile composting could serve as an additional tool in the circular economy toolbox, one that not only diverts waste but actively contributes to environmental regeneration while addressing issues of environmental in/justice in global waste management.
