Love Not Landfill and Wear Next: How London and New York aim to make fashion circular
November 15, 2019

Originally livestreamed via Restream.io, this session addresses the critical issue of clothing waste. Annually, New York landfills 200 million pounds of clothing. Globally, 73% of materials used for garments are landfilled or burned, with less than 1% recycled into new clothes.

To combat this, campaigns like Wear Next (New York) and Love Not Landfill (London) encourage diverting clothes from waste streams. They advocate for swapping, selling, donating, or recycling to prevent garments from ever becoming waste.

Join this session to understand why these initiatives were launched, their execution, and key learnings.
