\"textile-recycling\"<\/p>\n

So you want your company to be in the habit of recycling\u00a0old uniforms\u00a0but don\u2019t know where to start \u2013 help is just a stitch away.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Since the inaugural \u2018Circular Threads<\/a>\u2019 event in November 2016 (held at Interface Carpets in Sydney), the movement has been weaving through Australia\u2019s corporate sector, gaining momentum in its search for industrial-scale solutions that will stop corporate uniforms from becoming textile waste.<\/p>\n

If you come into contact with uniforms in your work or your supply chain \u2013 Circular Threads is for you. We\u2019ve seen involvement from uniform design teams, importers and distributors, company procurement managers and the uniform-wearing employees themselves.<\/p>\n

Which makes sense: textile recycling en masse is a positive step towards government-directed environmental targets and demonstration of corporate social responsibility.<\/p>\n

Circular Threads\u2019 upcoming manifesto<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of Circular Threads\u2019 short-term goals is to develop a manifesto by the Australian companies that\u00a0are already creating\u00a0a sustainable textile industry supply chain in Australia. Edge Environment\u2019s role will be to provide the framework, knowledge and networks to facilitate a successful textile recycling action plan for these companies.<\/p>\n

Research and development<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

On another exciting front, Circular Threads is delving into the research and development side of textile technology. The Institute for Frontier Materials<\/a> based in Geelong is has discovered an effective way of separating polyester\/cotton blended yarns back to its individual components, a breakthrough that can be applied to the recycling of any bio-composite materials.<\/p>\n

Website on its way<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, Circular Threads will soon launch its own webpage on Edge Environment\u2019s website \u2013 the perfect place to pick up all the interesting threads of information from its expanding network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
