What is the Circular Economy?
A circular economy is a method that seeks to eliminate waste and maintain resources in use for as long as they are useful. Instead of the traditional "take, make, dispose," a circular economy encourages reuse, recycling, and regeneration. This means finding ways to extend the life of materials and turning old products into valuable new resources.
Breathing New Life Into Old Textiles
When clothing, linens, and other fabrics end their first life, they still hold enormous potential. Through sorting, cutting, and repurposing, we transform discarded textiles into high-quality cleaning rags and other useful products. This simple shift keeps materials circulating in the economy rather than being wasted.
Creating Jobs and Opportunities
A circular economy doesn’t just benefit the planet—it benefits people. Every step of the process, from sorting incoming textiles to preparing and packaging recycled cleaning rags, provides meaningful employment. By giving waste a new purpose
