An Age-Old Wool Recycling Tradition Offers Lessons for Fast Fashion

Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “An Age-Old Wool Recycling Tradition Offers Lessons for Fast Fashion” – below is their description.

Demand for clothing made from repurposed fabrics is rising as awareness builds about textile waste.

Historically, the global recycling of wool has been driven by economic opportunity and necessity, such as during disruptions in the fleece trade. Now, environmental concerns are spurring demand for recycled wool as consumers seek out clothes made primarily of reused natural fibers instead of synthetic materials, many of which can be recycled only through expensive, complex processes that involve chemicals.
