WHY RECYCLE WITH FABSCRAP?
COMPLY WITH THE LAW
In New York City, if 10% or more of your commercial waste is textile material, you are required to recycle it. Extended Producer Responsibility polices for textiles are on the horizon.
CUSTOMERS CARE
In the US, 48% of customers check tags for sustainability information. Brands that market their eco-conscious efforts and corporate social responsibility practices show increased sales.
CUT CO2 EMISSIONS
Each pound of waste from apparel production is associated with 2.06 pounds of CO2-E. FABSCRAP provides reports enumerating tonnage diverted from landfill and CO2 emissions saved.
COMBAT CHEMICALS
When disposed in landfill, the dyes and chemicals in fabrics can leach into the soil, contaminating local water systems.
