Trashie’s Post

Transcript

Trashy is a recycling and rewards platform. We really help people recycle textiles in an easy, convenient way and reward them for doing so. We're tackling the 31 billion garments that typically end up in landfill every year, so we sell a product called the Take Back Bag. Customers can fill it up with any unwanted clothing, and we'll take it back and process it through a pretty detailed sorting and grading process and make sure it stays out of landfills. There's so much energy that's put into the design, the material selection. Manufacturing all of the activities that go into getting a T-shirt to somebody and we're throwing 85% of that in the trash, Our view is if we can catch that on the back end and make people kind of conscious, we found that consumers become actually aware, more aware of what they have.
