David Pendleton makes and sells blankets, bags and pillows from recycled wool, but he has to source the fabric from India. He and others say it's time that changed.
Australia has a major textile waste problem, but a Victorian man is saving old woollen clothes from landfill.
"The fabrics were completely separate from what I was working on, but when I came across recycled textiles I just wanted to learn more." "But we need the technology and infrastructure to deliver volumes of clothing to recyclers and then make them widely available to retailers."Markets and apps for second-hand clothes are lauded as an ethical and sustainable shopping choice. But while these markets help recycle they fail to reduce future production of waste.Ms Simpson says when Seamless starts operating on July 1, it will focus on creating a national and economically viable textile recycling system.
