In the wake of bushfires and the pandemic, I've faced pivotal moments that shook me to my core. The first hit during the harrowing bushfires of 2019-2020, highlighting our lack of control over environmental disasters. Then, as the pandemic swept across our shores, the urgency for change became clear.
Fashion has been my lifelong passion and career, propelling me to seek solutions in adversity. That's why I founded RCYCL— a tangible step we can take today!
To address the gap in sustainable solutions for disposing of clothing deemed unfit for upcycling or donation, RCYCL offers a lifeline, redirecting these items from landfill to renewal.
Australia ranks second in fashion consumption per capita, resulting in monumental waste. We discard nearly 15 kilograms of clothing per person each year—a reality demanding attention.
Recycling clothes isn't just a trend—it's a necessity. RCYCL offers an opportunity for individuals to make a tangible difference in a world hungry for change. While isn’t an end-all solution, it's a vital step towards a world where waste is no longer inevitable.
