Climate love

Recycling clothes, buying abandoned factories and creating jobs

This is an example of the circular economy at scale. I assumed that most circular businesses were startups and were not yet scaled. Today I learnt that Renewcell have just bought a factory from a non circular viscose manufacturer that went bust, they are hiring all the original staff and using all the original machines. Not only do they recycle clothes but they even recycle factories! This gives me so much hope as it is a prefect example of the circular economy in action. Viscose is usually made from wood. This is then sold to be made into clothes. These clothes then mostly end up in landfill at the end of their use. Renewcell take old clothes, separate the materials and produce a raw material that replaces the need to cut down trees for viscose. They then sell this material to fashion companies and the process starts all over again! Well done to Renewcell for proving that circular business models can work at scale. Keep up the good work! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQsQS7GdL3I
