However, NYC is actively working to make itself the capital of sustainability, as well as fashion, through textile waste management. The average New Yorker tosses 46 pounds of clothing, textiles, and accessories every year. As a city, NYC produces nearly 200,000 tons of textile waste annually. Thankfully, the city already has some sustainable practices in action to recycle some of this waste. For example, according to the provisions of the New York Department of Sanitation, local companies are required to recycle textile waste if it makes up more than 10% of their trash. Additionally, the amount of zero-waste shops, boutiques, second-hand stores have been growing steadily at a local level each year. Find stores that support the environment with the NYC Fashion Green Map. But are these solutions enough? There is great potential to build better waste management practices for all wasted textiles, and local entrepreneurs and nonprofits are taking matters into their own hands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622115202016-38IV4YGGV6CM7ID3Q84N/0wd.png Blog - Circular Fashion in NYC - Make it stand out Source: http://zerowastedaniel.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622107814988-KV6QWY9AVK6SXTDRZSJ3/3456844.jpeg Blog - Circular Fashion in NYC - Make it stand out Source: https://www.eileenfisher.com/ https://www.scrapnyc.com/blog/defining-sustainable-fashion monthly 0.5 2021-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1621781432855-IEG2FTPKGYOEEL349PUV/women-looking-at-clothes Blog - Defining Sustainable Fashion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622115595586-XVKYCWN76O1MF3RBSJT3/woman-in-white-fashionable-dress Blog - Defining Sustainable Fashion - What is sustainability? We hear the word “sustainability” so often that many people feel it has lost its meaning. Sustainable design, sustainable development, sustainability revolution, sustainable future… What are we really talking about? A sustainable way of life is one where humans use natural resources in such a way as to fulfill our needs while ensuring that we leave the planet in the same, or preferably better, condition than we found it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622115671451-R6SECQUTTZLPLT46S6RR/womans-hand Blog - Defining Sustainable Fashion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.scrapnyc.com/blog/clothing-retirement monthly 0.5 2021-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622114518349-IUP9S1Q3DPMBALTIFL23/women-holding-clothes Blog - Clothing Retirement - Donate When your clothes are in good condition, donate them!

Care For Your Garments Clothing care matters. When washing, follow the garments’ specific care label instructions to ensure it gets what it needs. Prolong the lifespan of your items by handwashing and air-drying, and if you choose to machine wash, opt for cold or low-temperature water. We all have that one garment that’s missing a button or has a tear in the sleeve. Instead of tossing it, purchase up a basic sewing kit at your local pharmacy or dollar store, and mend it by hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622114239565-EK9P4P0XIB1SJ2L1EPL2/pexels-liza-summer-6347534.jpg Blog - Beginners Guide to a Conscious Closet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622111315897-0QQC37HA2GODEM8ZI631/pexels-daria-shevtsova-1394892.jpg Blog - Beginners Guide to a Conscious Closet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1622113883710-JQ1C9D0K5G6MIWX365SC/pexels-liza-summer-6347546.jpg Blog - Beginners Guide to a Conscious Closet - The choices you make as an ethical consumer matter.

Those clothes usually are blended materials that are a bit more worn or damaged. The process is quite simple: trims are removed (zippers, buttons, etc.) from each piece of clothing after which they are shredded into tiny pieces that are then pressed into insulation sheets or stuffing bales. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1631266680848-C5SMPID77V1HBEJFVF7X/SCRAP+blog+11+%232.jpeg Blog - What Happens to Your Clothes AFTER Donation to SCRAP? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1631267271914-24LBLC8UXCUTI67OA114/clothing-textiles-recyclable Blog - What Happens to Your Clothes AFTER Donation to SCRAP? - Tier 2 Clothes that are made of textiles that are recyclable, but are not too worn for reuse, are placed back into the raw material production cycle, to make recycled textiles for new clothing. There is a limited amount of garments that have the most chance to be remade into new fabrics because the technology of recycling processes for used clothing is still not perfect. As of now, clothes of simple fiber content (i.e. 100% cotton, 100% polyester, etc) have the highest chance of being recycled. Recently progress has been made in effectively separating natural and synthetic fibers, which allows us to capture both types of fibers without losing fiber in the process, but for now, it’s still difficult to recycle blends (keep that in mind when you’re buying t-shirts and jeans!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1631266609777-133ZHY620AZX4LC9YMSL/fall-clothes-hanging-on-rack Blog - What Happens to Your Clothes AFTER Donation to SCRAP? - Tier 1 This portion of the clothing will be reused through donation or sale.

Clothing and textiles are treated as a disposable commodity, rather than for what they truly are… the renewable resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1621886187142-VTIJ6Y9XJBD94X2EU2SF/pexels-dasha-musohranova-6051248+%281%29.jpg About - Where do your items go? Collected items are sent to our recycling partners for sorting and processing. A portion of the clothing will be reused through donation or sale, while recyclable items are placed back into the production cycle as textiles for new clothing. The small portion of donations unfit for recycling will end up used as stuffing or insulation. We ensure that none of your clothes end up in the landfill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1621942293342-5Y5VEKUMTPEVT4EMZ9SW/women-in-casual-clothes-posing About - A Brief History… Before SCRAP, CEO Patrick Metellus, an avid contributor of charity and community work, would check an extra suitcase filled with clothes for donation each time he traveled. His partner, Paloma, has experience working for Victoria’s Secret, Kate Spade, and Barneys New York, gaining firsthand insights into the behind-the-scenes of the fashion industry. Together, they aim to scale their vision for a circular fashion economy and shift the industry toward a more transparent and sustainable future. https://www.scrapnyc.com/give daily 0.75 2024-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1621710944924-ZPKM5RIYNG1J1X5BCM74/woman-white-blouse-sitting Give - Give your clothes a new life Our used clothing collection service is free and easy.

For as far back as he can remember, she collected used clothing from friends and family, shipped it to Haiti where she was originally from, and together with Patrick, they would travel there to distribute it to less fortunate people. That’s where he understood that a piece clothing that he might no longer want, can have a second life in the wardrobe of someone for whom it will be new and exciting. His partner, Paloma, has experience working for Victoria’s Secret, Kate Spade, and Barneys New York, gaining firsthand insights into the behind-the-scenes of the fashion industry. Together, they aim to scale their vision for a circular fashion economy and shift the industry toward a more transparent and sustainable future. To learn more about Patrick and the history of SCRAP follow his LinkedIn profile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1621886187142-VTIJ6Y9XJBD94X2EU2SF/pexels-dasha-musohranova-6051248+%281%29.jpg About (Revisions) - Where do your donations go? Clothing donations made to SCRAP are separated into two streams. About 10% of donations we receive are barely used designer pieces. We ship those pieces to our partner Tersus Solutions for serious cleaning, before finding a new owner for them in local boutiques, like Bitter Grace. We aim to recycle the majority of clothing that we collect. We currently put this clothing through an automated sorting process in New Jersey, run by our partner Sort & Export. We are currently recycling cotton materials using Renewcell’s technology in Sweden and exploring wool recycling with iinouiio in England. Our long-term aim is to create new products from the materials recycled from your donations, a truly circular economy of fashion! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1652190345189-X6BCBPGYL7NMV0TOAAIV/co2.png About (Revisions) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1652190487330-BF1THUH1Q0C8EWZGGQM4/water.png About (Revisions) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1652188422851-3ATNI01DGWY7PRJ6C5EL/Fertilizer.png About (Revisions) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1652189812445-01ISY055T8EZYYXG3JDE/Pesticide.png About (Revisions) https://www.scrapnyc.com/home-revisions daily 0.75 2022-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a91a1dd5abe22cec3a0a46/1621698762723-09HAST47PUU577GRJFIH/woman-lay-in-grass Home (Revisions) - We make it easy to keep your clothing out of the landfill and put it to productive use.
