WELLINGTON – Industry, government and social enterprise in New Zealand have collaborated to launch the Textile Reuse Programme; an initiative with an ambition of transitioning the country to a closed loop manufacturing model.
The nation-wide initiative has been introduced in an effort to combat clothing consumption, waste and the subsequent climate impact. According to The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon consumption must be radically reduced worldwide if we are to prevent a “climate catastrophe”.
