How can Europe build a commercially viable circular textile system? In this episode, Louisa Hoyes, who has worked on building up textile circularity for the past 7 years, explains why building a circular textile system requires much more than advances in recycling technology. What you'll hear in this episode: • Why collection, sorting and recycling should be designed as one connected value chain rather than separate industries. • The commercial challenges of scaling textile circularity, including infrastructure investment, feedstock quality, demand for recycled fibres, and business model innovation. • How Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) can accelerate investment, improve traceability, and support fibre-to-fibre recycling. The episode also covers emerging recycling technologies, collaboration across the textile value chain, and the expected timeline for scaling Europe's textile circularity infrastructure.

From a brand's point of view, how should extended producer responsibility (EPR) be designed so that circularity pays off? Philipp Bonaventura from Schöffel explains where circular design already works, why the economics hold it back, and what the system needs to change. What you'll hear in this episode: • Why the barrier is economic, not technical: low collection volumes, weak sorting, and repair that doesn't cover its cost • How designing for repair differs from designing for recycling, and why material choice decides what can be recovered • Which fees reward durable, repairable products, and why harmonised rules across Europe matter The episode also covers what counts as a circular product, and why quality comes before recycled content. This is the second episode of the Textile EPR series.

Textile sustainability strategist Shivam Gusain argues that the recycling sector has made incineration into a type of all-purpose villain, where the real barriers to recycling are much more practical. Our latest episode fans the flames around textile and clothing incineration and asks whether the textile recycling sector is too quick to blame incineration as the 'bad guy' when the bigger challenge is to build practical recycling capacity amid current waste management and climate pressures. Speaking to host Philip Berman, Gusain says the industry conversation is too focused on incineration as "the big hammering point" and on the idea that it is holding recycling back. The podcast also tackles the idea that incineration is always the worst option on health grounds, saying there is often confusion between controlled incineration and open burning of waste. This episode is brought to you by our partner PICVISA a Spanish machine-vision company that builds AI‑driven optical sorting systems for waste, including dedicated solutions for textile sorting and recycling.

This Day in Maine Wednesday, June 24th, 2026

Everyone who goes to work should have the right to go home after work. This is a sentiment that wasn't necessarily formally recognised until the 1970's here in the UK.   Health & Safety often gets mocked for overly cautious or seemingly onerous tasks to meet certain regulations and Standards today, however these are in place for a reason. They save lives, plain and simple. In this episode, Ian Battersby makes the case for Health & Safety regulations, including why they were introduced, events that sparked the conversation for workplace safety and the impact regulations have had since their introduction. You'll learn ·      The decline in ISO 45001 adoption ·      The Health and Safety at Work Act ·      How much difference has this Act made since its introduction? ·      How do the US and UK differ in their approach to safety regulations?  ·      What events led to the creation of safety regulations in the UK? ·      Addressing broader health and safety risks – illness and long-term damage as a result of work ·      How to make health & safety manageable   Resources ·      HSE ·      ISO 45001 Support ·      Isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Ian Battersby makes the case for modern Health & Safety regulations, sharing why they were introduced, how they've impacted workplace safety statistics and how you can make health & safety more manageable.    [03:30] The decline in ISO 45001 adoption – From our standpoint as consultants, there has been less adoption of ISO 45001 when compared to other Standard such as ISO 9001 or ISO 27001. In years previous, it was a common Standard to implement either with or straight after ISO 9001. There are a number of reasons for this, including: ·      The appetite for ISO 45001 has reduced in favour of newer Standards ·      Supply chains not proposing it as a requirement ·      Our particular client base feel they are low risk in their respective industries To be fair, health and safety does get a bad reputation for being overbearing. It's been subject to many attacks from various media and lobbying groups, however, it's necessary to ensure we all stay safe at work. Let's look at some history… [05:00] The Health & Safety At Work Act: This act received Royal Assent in the UK on 31 July 1974, and came into force on 1 April 1975. To an extent it replaced and improved upon previous laws covering separate industries and activities: Factories, Mines & Quarries, Agriculture, etc It was enacted in response to a recognition that, although conditions for workers had improved over the century, there was still completely unnecessary harm being caused to many in the country's workforce. This is also the point when the Health and Safety Executive was formally established to enforce the law. It also provides a wealth of guidance to businesses, so we highly recommend checking out their website. They also have the legal duty to collect consolidated data on workplace injuries for the UK, and have provided an annual report since it's inception in 1975. [07:45] How much difference has this Act made since its introduction? In the year to 31/03/1975 when consolidated data was first recorded there were 651 deaths at work. The equates to more than 2.5 deaths in a single year per 100,000 workers. Comparatively, in 2024/25 124 people died in work, and while that's 124 too many, it's a big improvement. The rate per 100,000 workers is now 0.37, and you have to bear in mind that the workforce has grown, but overall that's a reduction of over 85%. [09:10] How do the US and UK differ in their approach to safety regulations? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) serves similar purpose in USA as HSE, but they have important differences in approach and independence. The HSE is independent of government to an extent and has no ministerial control, whereas OSHA sits within the Dept of Labor. It can also be argued that the OSHA approach is prescriptive in setting rules whereas HSE follows the more outcome-based principles of HASAWA: to reduce risk "so far as is reasonably practicable", which some argue is more sophisticated and produces better results. OSHA has also seen its powers to intervene, investigate and enforce curtailed at times due to certain political interests.   Looking at the numbers, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics published fatality rates for 2024: Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries: There were 5,070 fatal work injuries recorded in the United States in 2024, down 4.0% from 5,283 in 2023. The fatal work injury rate was 3.3 fatalities per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers in 2024, a decrease from 3.5 in 2023. That rate is notably higher than Great Britain's — 3.3 per 100,000 versus 0.37 — though the two figures aren't directly comparable. The BLS uses full-time equivalent workers as the denominator and covers a broader range of incident types, while the HSE's RIDDOR series uses a headcount of all workers and has specific exclusions (road traffic accidents, air and sea travel, etc.). The methodological differences mean a like-for-like comparison requires some care. [13:35] What events led to the creation of safety regulations in the UK? In the days of Victorian Britain, it's difficult to view the common working man, woman AND child as anything other than a commodity. Thousands died every year in industrial accidents during this era, and large-scale accidents in many industries weren't uncommon. Mining was particularly tragic, a few events include: ·      The Oaks Colliery explosion of 1866 killed around 360 men and boys. ·      Hartley Colliery in 1862 trapped and killed 204 miners when the single shaft collapsed (but individual deaths from falls, gas explosions, and equipment failures happened constantly and attracted no particular attention) ·      The Abercarn Colliery explosion in Monmouthshire (1878) killed 268 men. ·      The Albion Colliery explosion at Cilfynydd in Wales (1894) killed 290. These were not exceptional events, they were part of a continuous toll. In the 1860s alone, over 1,000 miners died annually in Britain. Textile mills, ironworks, shipyards, and construction sites all had very high casualty rates. Factory machinery had no guards. Children routinely worked in spaces too small for adults, climbing inside machinery to clean it while it was still running, or crawling under looms. Mill workers lost fingers, hands, and arms with regularity. The end of the Victorian era saw attempts at regulation, but without true enforcement. The Factories Act didn't appear until 1933 and it was bitterly opposed by many owners of mines and mills. Modern regulations exist today to prevent the tragedies of the past from happening again, they were hard fought for by workers and lobbyists, and in some ways we're still fighting to include the broader impacts work can have on an individual. [16:45] Addressing broader health and safety risks – This is in relation to harm accumulated over a lifetime of work with long-term and often fatal consequences. The suffering caused to workers exposed to hazardous conditions is immeasurable. For example, let's look at asbestos. The dangers of working with asbestos were recognised remarkably early, as far back as 1890s in France, and Asbestosis was formally recognised in 1930. This led to regulation in 1931, but only applying to the asbestos textile industry, excluding all the industries where its use was widespread such as construction, shipbuilding, anyone working in insulation etc Worse still, it wasn't even enforced! Then take mesothelioma, the distinctive and almost invariably fatal cancer of the lining of the lungs and abdomen. The connection between asbestos and mesothelioma was established in SA in 1960 when mining blue asbestos. Further research in the UK firmly established the link in the 60s. From the mid-60s, headlines were being made nationally when shipyard workers from the war era stared dying in large numbers. Unions began lobbying for protections and media coverage continued for years as cases multiplied across several areas and industries. Nevertheless, its manufacture and use continued. The Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations 1983 introduced licensing for the most hazardous asbestos removal work. Blue asbestos (crocidolite) was banned in 1985, followed by brown asbestos (amosite) in 1986, though white asbestos (chrysotile) remained legal until 1999. In the interim and since then thousands of people died and multiple legal cases have ensued. 2218 people died of mesothelioma alone in 2023. Altogether it's estimated that workplace-related lung disease and cancers kill as many 13000 per year in the UK. Several thousand more are known to die of non-lung-related occupational diseases each year, but these aren't recorded as workplace deaths on certificates, so these people aren't included in HSE annual reporting. It doesn't stop at deaths either, there is an argument for the detriment that certain work can have on quality of life. Incidents and conditions such as: ·      accidents causing amputation and fracture ·      eye conditions from welding and other light sources ·      Deafness and hearing difficulties ·      HAVS, vibration white finger ·      Skin conditions from exposure ·      Musculoskeletal in low risk environments None of these are terminal and so often go unreported.   [23:25] How to make Health & Safety manageable – Some consider modern health and safety regulations to be over the top, but overarching law in the UK has the principle 'As Far As Is Reasonably Practicable'. One common area is in risk assessment, The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations states: "Every employer shall make a suitable and sufficient assessment of— (a)      the risks to the health and safety Where the employer employs five or more employees, they shall record— (a)          the significant findings of the assessment" The keyword being 'significant' there. If you work in lower risk industries, you aren't being forced to make unnecessary risk assessments, only when significant risks are present do you need to complete a risk assessment. For more guidance, check out the HSE guidance on office-based risk assessments. [25:55] Ian poses a question: Can you seriously say that the drop in deaths and injuries suffered by the common worker would have dropped at the rate it has without regulatory intervention?  Can all employers (or other vested interests) be trusted to do the right thing through good will and voluntary mechanisms alone?

In Episode 341, Kestrel welcomes Dr. Joanne Brasch, the Assistant Director at the California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC), to the show. A network of local governments, non-government organizations, businesses, and individuals supporting policies and projects where producers share in the responsibility for managing problem products at their end of life, CPSC is California's thought leader and expert on Product Stewardship and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) movement. "We're most proud of our textile EPR program because we achieved a lot in SB 707 that set a new level, a new generation of EPR programs that take a higher priority and implement a lot more reuse and repair throughout the program." -Joanne THEME — EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY & TEXTILE WASTE DIVERSION This episode is the second in our two-part series dedicated to exploring some of the layers around Extended Producer Responsibility, or EPR, and Textile Waste Diversion.  In line with this conversation, I want to share about an upcoming event I'm collaborating on that's taking place in Los Angeles on June 10th. The Recovered Textile Exhibit is hosted by the City and County of Los Angeles, the California Product Stewardship Council, and the LA Cleantech Incubator. It's funded by CalRecycle, LA Sanitation, and others, and is in collaboration with Afflare.co and Fashion Is Outrageous.  There will be keynote speakers, discussions, and interactive activities that my cofounder Gabi and I helped develop, all with a focus on textile circularity and diverting textiles from the landfill. Additionally, the PRO (Producer Responsibility Organization), Landbell, will be present at the event. If you're interested in attending, you can RSVP here. If you're able to join, I hope to see you there! On the last show, we touched on some of the big picture ideas around EPR, and many of the questions around how we can make these circular systems practical.  On this week's episode, we're diving deep into the first-ever textile EPR bill in the U.S., SB 707: The Responsible Textile Recovery Act of 2024. While this isn't the first EPR policy to hit California or the nation, it is the first to cover TEXTILES.  I chat with someone who played an integral role in the legislative process for the bill – we dive into more on their open-collaborative approach and the importance of community-informed programs, we explore what the "most diverse board requirements" means within the context of SB 707, we learn about how feedback played a distinct role in the legislative process including some from the Or Foundation, and we discuss some of the definitions within the bill like REUSE and RECYCLE, with a focus on unpacking the definition of REPAIR, which is the first global definition that includes upcycling. You will hear words and phrases like PRO, Needs Assessment, dynamic, legislative and regulatory process, and more. We do our best to help contextualize these definitions along the way, but if you have questions, let me know. I don't want this to feel like another policy conversation that leaves you in the dark – I want it to feel like you can feel welcomed into it, as this is a monumental bill for California and the sustainability and fashion industry as a whole. One of my favorite things about this bill is that it's DYNAMIC, meaning it will change over time, and be rewritten every 5 years, based on key findings and learnings. So remember – your voice can play an important role in how this bill continues to evolve moving forward.  Also, to note – when this episode was recorded, our guest's new title had not yet been released publicly. Congrats to her, as she is now the Assistant Director – you'll actually hear her reveal it to us later on in the episode.   Quotes and links from our conversation: "If we're shopping in a different way 20 years from now, this program can adapt to that because the plan is rewritten every five years and has evidence-based decision-making provisions within the program." -Joanne on why SB 707 being a dynamic bill matters "I think the open collaborative approach has really been making sure everyone is using the same language and understands the same process so we can get the best engagement now." -Joanne on CPSC's approach to developing community-informed programs "We know repair costs more. We know that it's labor intensive, but we also know, you know, it's a greater GHG reduction and opportunity to again create new products from existing materials." -Joanne on the importance of incentivizing repair in the bill Recovered Textile Exhibit, June 10th (2026) in Los Angeles, CA California Product Stewardship Website CPSC Instagram

In Episode 340, Kestrel welcomes Constanza Gomez, the cofounder and CEO of Sortile, to the show. Sortile is a company focused on empowering the textile recycling industry with technology that enables the identification, sorting and traceability of textiles. "I was a much more hopeful person when I started this company and I've slowly become more of a skeptic. But that means I've leaned more heavily on the need for regulation versus people acting of their own free and good hearts. And so I think the opportunity is great. You can redefine and set real incentives to manage end of life better." -Constanza THEME — EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY & TEXTILE WASTE DIVERSION EPR, or Extended Producer Responsibility, has come up on the show in the past in various capacities – we first talked about it in depth back on episode 275 with Liz Ricketts and Sammy Oteng from The Or Foundation when they were the first grant recipient of SHEIN's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Fund to help manage textile waste.   Just to get our minds on track for this chat – EPR or Extended Producer Responsibility initiatives or legislation ideally ensure that producers are required to assume the costs of collection, treating, and recycling of the end-of-life of their products. We are currently in a very exciting time when it comes to EPR policy around the world –  there are mandatory schemes in France, Sweden and the Netherlands, with others on the horizon … and where I'm based, here in California, the nation's first EPR policy for textiles, SB 707, passed in 2024, and is currently moving through the process of being implemented.  There are still SO MANY UNKNOWNS when it comes to how these policies are going to play out, but one thing that this week's guest sees as a benefit to this shifting legislation is – MORE ACCESS TO DATA. As she shares, we just don't have enough data on the textile industry, and when we do, it's generally static data. When EPR comes into play, companies are going to HAVE to report and share specific data, which is going to bring in a much more consistent stream of data and over time, will lead to having more access to dynamic data as well.    This week's guest sees the direct link between research and data, and the need for more of both across the textile space to support more textile diversion – her own research led her to develop a table top textile scanner that helps determine the fiber composition of textiles, a massive support in the sorting process.  We talk about that, but also bigger questions around the opportunities and challenges she sees with EPR policy. I have to say – one thing this week's guest absolutely nailed in our conversations is – posing which questions that we should be asking right now with a big focus on – how do we make these systems practical?

On this day, 2 May 2022 approximately 2000 striking garment and textile workers gathered in the Nhlangano manufacturing hub in Eswatini for a mass meeting. Some had walked more than 8 km to get there.The strike of around 8000 workers in total had begun five weeks prior, demanding a living wage of at least E15 per hour or E2983 (US$183) per month.Representatives of the striking union, the Amalgamated Trade Union of Swaziland, complained that police and government troops had been harassing strikers, visiting their homes, tear gassing them and threatening them with eviction if they did not go back to work.Around 30 workers at the meeting got up to speak in favour of continuing the strike, and despite the repression, the strikers resolved to continue their work stoppage. On May 9, strikers agreed to return to work pending further negotiations with employers. Upon their return to work, the employers attempted to force workers to sign documents stating the reason for the absence, which most workers refused to sign. The result of the dispute is unclear.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/11054/eswatini-textile-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 19 April 1968, while 6,000 textile workers were on strike against redundancies in Valdagno, northern Italy, scabs were sneaked into the factory under police protection. The workers were brutally charged by police leading to them fighting with the 1,000-strong police force, occupying the factory and toppling the bronze statue of the factory's founder, Count Gaetano Marzotto (an iconic moment, as Count Marzotto had until then had been widely depicted as an enlightened benefactor). 47 workers were arrested. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9064/valdagno-textile-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Textiles are all around us, they are literally woven into nearly every part of our daily lives. From the everyday materials in the clothes we wear to the specialty materials in parachutes, spacesuits, and even bulletproof armor. They play a bigger role than we often think about but what exactly is a textile? We sit down with Kate Winning from Oxford Space to explore the world of textiles, breaking down the different types, how they are turned from fiber into usable materials, and their wide-ranging applications.

In Episode 339, Kestrel welcomes Beth Jensen, the Chief Impact Officer at Textile Exchange, to the show. Leading the organization's efforts to achieve beneficial climate and nature impacts, Beth oversees key functions at Textile Exchange including impact data and Life Cycle Assessment studies; impact tools and reporting mechanisms; reports and research; fundraising; and public affairs/policy. "A big part of vulnerability is really admitting that you don't have all the answers. So in sustainability, in fashion, apparel, and textile space, this is just the way we have to operate. If you said you had all the answers, you wouldn't be taken seriously in this space … What you present as data might change the next time you present it because you have new and better information. You just have to be able to work in the gray and really take the best available information and make informed decisions based on that information." -Beth THEME — DATA & FASHION: METHODS & ACCESS Before we dive in, I want to take a moment to remind us all that FASHION IS POLITICAL.   Whenever a big politically-charged moment arises in the U.S., there is this narrative I see creeping around that expects fashion (brands, designers, creators, etc) to stay silent on quote unquote political issues – that fashion should stay in its so-called lane, detached from the world around it.  Here's the thing – FASHION IS POLITICAL. It always has been and it always will be. It doesn't exist in its own little vacuum. If you care about the fashion industry, and its impact on people and the planet, it's imminent to pay attention and engage in so-called politics, because it's entirely interconnected. Just to mention a few of these significant overlaps – The origins of the fashion industry in the United States – cotton grown by Black enslaved folks who were forced to immigrate – is political.  The way clothing supply chains operate – predominantly spread across the Global South where our clothes are made by mostly women of color, who are often paid less than a living wage – is political. How certain materials permeate the fashion industry – fossil fuel-derived fibers AKA plastic. While other natural fibers were historically made illegal to grow AKA hemp – is political. The largest garment manufacturing city in the U.S. is Los Angeles, employing over 46,000 garment workers, most of whom are immigrant women from Mexico and Central America. L.A. is the wage theft capital of the U.S., with the average hourly wage being $5.85 (Labor Violations In The LA Garment Industry, Garment Worker Center, 2020) The institutionalized violent origins of ICE as well as the continued horrific acts they have made toward immigrants and nonimmigrants, fellow members of our communities – is political. As Faherty called it in their recent IG post – systemic inhumanity affects us all – our families, friends, colleagues, neighbors and communities, and that is political. If you try to separate fashion from politics, clothing from humans, it's impossible. Clothing is made by people who are integral members of our communities and valued creatives along the supply chain. We must advocate for our fellow community members and the safety of our neighbors. This is the second episode is a 2-part series dedicated to DATA IN FASHION. While many of you may already have an understanding of these elements, I think they are important to reframe and contextualize the following conversation.  The fashion industry and the so-called sustainable fashion space has a concerning history with data. The so-called stat – fashion is the 2nd largest polluter globally, second only to oil – unfortunately spread like wildfire before it was found to be unsubstantiated – in 2017, journalist Alden Wicker brought this to light in an article on Racked, and the NY Times did a deep dive into it the following year, calling it the "biggest fake news in fashion". It's clear that the fashion industry has a massive impact on the earth and its inhabitants – it's an industry that not only thrives with models of overproduction and waste, it also prioritizes synthetic fossil fuel-derived materials like polyester. But, considering how long this inaccurate claim was utilized by the sustainability and fashion realm (to note, I still see it used today and often have to send articles to folks to remind them that it was never substantiated) – I guess, it becomes challenging for fashion to be taken seriously in the greater climate conversation.  Being that fashion is one of the most underregulated industries – I know this is shifting with more policy coming into play, but it's slow. This has further reduced the amount of data collected from brands, because it hasn't been required.  As you can tell, data, fashion and sustainability have a complex history. This week's guest understands this reality, and is pushing to shift the narrative through her work with Textile Exchange. But it's a tricky task, when for her, a lack of data shouldn't prevent us from taking action.  "Without having data to underpin statements about something working toward reducing impact or creating beneficial impact, there's really nothing for those statements to stand on. Now the challenge there is making sure that we're striking the right balance of not letting perfect data get in the way of doing the work that we need to do to improve practices and create beneficial outcomes for the industry." -Beth Materials Market Report 2025 (Press Release) Paper on Ensuring Integrity in the Use of Life Cycle Assessment Data (Press Release) Industry Reports Library Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Library Follow Textile Exchange on Instagram
