8:30 Window on The World

Fighting fashion waste - Our desire for new clothes creates a lot of waste and much of it ends up in landfill. But a lot of that discarded material can be turned into something useful.

A Fabscrap employee sorts bags of fabric on February 1, 2019 at the company's warehouse in New York. - The fashion industry generates tons of textile waste, especially in New York, a shopping temple where a "Fashion Week" is held twice a year, which alone generates impressive amounts of waste. So for two years, an association, Fabscrap, offers an alternative to fight against this huge textile mess. Fabscrap provides pickup of fabric scraps from commercial businesses in New York, including fashion brands, interior designers, cutting rooms, tailors, costume and set designers, and schools.
