Sustainable Styles By Soroptimists
Event description
Join SI Logan for an afternoon of fun and fashion.
Millions of tons of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling. How can you reduce this occurring in your local community?
Guest Speaker:
Lily Wilkinson: Marketing and Admin Coordinator BlockTexx
BlockTexx is an Australian owned, advanced manufacturing business that gives new life to unwanted textiles and clothing by recycling and remanufacturing them into high grade raw materials so they can be used to make new products.
BlockTexx® has developed its chemical recycling technology (S.O.F.T.™) to process 85% of world’s most used fibres of polyester and cotton, their blends, and man-made cellulosic fibres such as bamboo, Viscose, Rayon and Tencel,
All operations are delivered on shore, creating local jobs, Aussie-made products and diverting thousands of tonnes of textiles from landfill, incineration or export.
