It's #GlobalRecyclingDay! ♻️🌎
What does it mean to #recycle? Ellen Macarthur Foundation @circulareconomy defines it as the process to transform a product or component into its basic materials or substances and reprocess them into new materials.

People are buying three times more clothes than they did in the 1980s due to the more sales of cheap clothes, according to the City of Vancouver. A lot of it winds up in the landfill or overseas. Our @Baneet_Braich explains how you can turn used clothing from trash to treasure.

We recently collaborated with The Ardene Foundation to create a sustainable tote bag! Each unique bag is made of leftover pieces of denim fabric; saving over 3000 pounds of denim waste from landfills. Check out the tote in select stores and online while quantities last!

Textiles are one of the fastest growing waste streams due to rapidly changing fashion trends and low prices. More and more clothing is ending up in the garbage. Each year, about 20 thousand metric tonnes of clothing waste is thrown away in Metro Vancouver. vimeo.com/289567631

A circular economy disrupts the existing linear model.
How is it different from recycling? Rather than having to find recycling solutions after a product is designed & brought to market, recovery & material reuse is part of the design & manufacturing process from the start🌎🔄

We used to design ‘finished’ products. Now, we should think of everything we design as... software - products & services that can constantly evolve, based on the data we get through feedback, and bring value every step of the way. Great design is never finished
