Many of us know Goodwill Industries International as a retailer that accepts and resells donated goods. What the average consumer may not know is that the nonprofit takes in over 5 billion pounds of goods each year — and not all of it can be resold. For those unwanted or unviable items, the organization can either look into recycling or upcycling, and with the help of AI, it's able to efficiently make that determination while also improving its process for sorting and allocating sellable goods for different retail channels. Additionally, Goodwill helps its workforce with career-development skills. Much of this training has been enhanced with AI. Tune in to this episode to hear directly from Goodwill CEO Steve Preston about how the organization is using technology to fulfill a mission that extends beyond the retail store. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: As president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International, Steven C. Preston leads a network of 153 local Goodwill organizations with a combined revenue of $8.2 billion. In addition to being a secondhand retail leader, Goodwill is a leading nonprofit provider of workforce training and development in North America. Positioning the organization at the forefront of workforce development has been a top focus for Preston since he joined Goodwill in 2019. He has also forged partnerships with organizations focused on sustainable practices in the secondhand retail marketplace and developed mission-focused marketing efforts to elevate the Goodwill brand. Previously, Preston served in numerous operational and financial leadership positions in both the public and private sectors. After heading the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Small Business Administration, he led successful turnarounds as the CEO of Oakleaf Global Holdings and Livingston International. He also served as the CFO of Waste Management and ServiceMaster.

Doit-on s'attendre à une pénurie de chocolat dans les années à venir ? Pourra-t-on continuer à en manger sans que cela coûte un bras ?

Pour ce podcast 149, direction Roubaix pour parler d'upcycling.Hubert Motte est un jeune chef d'entreprise de 31 ans. Cet ingénieur, originaire de la région Lilloise, a eu une première expérience dans le domaine du développement de produits textiles dans le monde de l'équipement sportif. C'était chez Queshua la marque montagne de Decathlon . Après 3 années passées dans cette activité à Sallanches, Hubert a eu envie de créer sa propre entreprise, en y mettant un peu plus de valeur à ses yeux. "Le défi c'était vraiment de partir d'un déchet pour fabriquer un produit, plutôt que de toujours s'inscrire dans une surconsommation et une surproduction...", me dit Hubert. L'idée du jeune entrepreneur était aussi de créer de l'emploi dans sa région du nord, fortement impactée par la délocalisation des activités textiles et industrielles.Mission réussie, car après 8 ans d'activité, il y a aujourd'hui 8 salariés chez la Vie est Belt, 60000 pneus ont été recyclés et l'entreprise est installée sur 320M2 à Roubaix. Le upcycling n'est pas qu'un concept et on peut dire que ça roule fort pour Hubert Motte et que la vie est vraiment Belt pour sa marque.Infos sur le site de La Vie est BeltFacebook : https://www.facebook.com/lavieestbeltInstagram : https://www.instagram.com/la_vie_est_belt/Hébergé par Ausha.

For years the food tech space has been rife with companies eager to replace familiar standbys– from protein to sweeteners to colorings– with cheaper, more healthful, or more climate friendly alternatives. There have certainly been a few successes, but there have also been some big and spectacular failures. Whether we're emerging from the dust of the most recent bust or have a ways to go still, we're actively watching the space to see what founders and investors alike are learning from the frothy boom cycle with its incredible stats and promises, and from what came after. To understand a bit more about how this food tech ingredient space is changing, from products and go-to market to business models and financing, we're joined this week by Jake Berber, Co-Founder and CEO of Prefer. For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

in maintenance repair and operations so whenever you want to talk shop just Reach Out call click granger.com or just stop by Granger for the ones who get it done hey guys so third coffee nothing but phone calls for the last half hour anyway my new um project if you like or thing F the thing with being a recycler right you're always finding new things and new possibilities and new ideas inspiring ideas things that you can use and the other day I was out and about um with my brother we go on these Adventures on Thursdays right and I'd come across a shop that sold fossils and minerals um Rocks Crystals all that sort of thing um snails uh water snail casings and just um absolutely fantastic and I got really excited by them all um and my brother is a photographer stock photographer and there was some Driftwood there it was quite pricey some lovely Driftwood um anyway I was thinking about this Driftwood and I was thinking about how there's so much of it here where I live and thinking that's quite a cool resource isn't it I could sort of forage can you forage for something you can't eat or does foraging mean eating I'm not sure stuff you can eat but I can certainly acquire um bits of wood that I mean and sticks sticks interesting sticks and I really like this idea of sculpting playing creating art from stuff that I found the found object I do it with music I do it with my artworks now I've just done I've just released a load of artworks actually on blink friction which are um graffiti stencils on a a Victorian Bible that was very broken so it couldn't be sold on it was inappropriate for selling but it was fine for recycling as most things are so so much you can do with with recycled materials there really is and it really adds a curiousness and an interest I think to the finished product so really pleased actually with I sold one as well which is really good so if you pop over to eBay and maybe if you search blink friction I don't know I'm not sure if that will come up but if you go to my websites you you'll be able to see all of the wonderful wonderful artworks and fashion that I'm now forging ahead with but I've got so much uh Ro so many raw materials i' I've spent the last month sourcing Bargains on eBay of job lots of things like Army Surplus stuff um patches and old Levis old denim denim's wonderful absolutely wonderful thing to recycle it it's just perfect because barring things like glue if you get glue on denim is no good you won't get that off I don't I think certain glues will never come off anything look like a sort of Evo stick you know that's slightly yellow and it was horrific you there is nothing you can do with glue damaged Fabrics that I have discovered okay you may know differently tell me go to the blog and write me a message go to my Facebook or something so um I've put all this stuff in the cupboard but I did realize that the this it's kind of it makes me feel unsanitary Because unless they've been washed so everything that comes in needs to be washed but you know there's still this sort of idea that it's been around a bit and it's not you know it's not your brand spanking new Vivian Westwood that you just bought in Bond Street or something to you see what I mean it's it hasn't got quite got that same um ring to it or sense about it and of course this it's a sense that I love I love the sense the idea of buying an old Victorian Bible page that has been graffitied um and then you know mounting it in an expensive 3D frame or something really classy really Chic that I think is the perfect mix I do think if you buy a bit of artwork that's recycled you have to think very long and hard about how you're going to display it to make it make sure it's no longer a a Castaway and it doesn't feel like a cast away it doesn't feel like you know if you put it in a a 2bit frame that you know that's got scratches on it and um or a mass-produced plastic frame for example that really you didn't think too much about perhaps if you don't mount it that's always a giveaway should always mount an original artwork so you know these there are ways of making recycled art look really top-notch but you do have to think about it a bit anyway back to the Driftwood so um I was thinking about Driftwood a lot because I was minded of a a frame that I made for a friend very very large drift wood frame and I had to keep going out and sourcing this Driftwood and drying it out and then gluing it onto the mirror and she she said she absolutely loved it I don't know if it was a lie or not I always felt it was but uh in later years I confronted her about it and she promised me that it was absolutely wonderful and she loved it I still don't know if that's actually true so but let Let's Pretend shall we that she thought it was absolutely F she very classy lady as well um so yeah um I was Googling yesterday basically I was Googling how can I be a millionaire with Recycling and I was hoping for some inspiration um but the inspiration that came were well the fact finding Mission the stats proved that the most lucrative of all reclaim is metal so scrap metal that's where the the do is guys scrap metal so you know there are you can be a millionaire but you need a probably a string of scrap metal yards um it's interesting isn't it how something so tangled and dirty could create money I I did find that interesting um there's no way I'm going to do that there's no way I'm going to go out in the middle of the night and rob derel houses of their lead and you know other scraps or buy up old knacked washing machines and sell them for scrap that's just not going to happen um that's not quite what they do though is it I don't know how does scrap what what happens to scrap metal when it's taken into the the yard what happens after that I'm not I'm not 100% sure um I know you can go to a scrap yard and buy bits and in fact my godfather was being really annoying the other day he was saying oh you can go when your em is uh up and they tell you what's wrong you can go and get the pieces that you need secondhand from from scrapyards and my mom and I were like no we're not going to do that and he say no it's very easy just go along and and he would not bloody shut up about it and we were like f off can you imagine well you I don't know if you can but my mother and I a 60 and an 80y old teetering into a scrap metal yard a an old car dumped car place looking for old brake pads so say oh yeah we'll have those I mean do they even get them out for you they probably do actually don't they but no it's not going to happen I mean I I couldn't possibly I've got a bright yellow coat that I'm wearing at the moment um Stella McCartney and there's no way I'd walk in there I'd get dirty I could I'd get dirty just looking at it do you know what I mean this is how I feel about all these reclaimed Levis that I've got slightly Mucky so I've I've found a home for all this stuff that's going to last me two years before I upcycle everything it might even last me 5 years you know but I'm going to make a point of you know trying to create one thing a week for for the clothing cuz blink friction clothing is close to my my heart anyway um so scrap metal was out but then I thought well what natural resources are here you know in my locality and there actually loads lots of fossils and um minerals and and rocks and certain interesting finds that you can you know you scour around this guy at this shop the other day told me that because the the solent between the aisle of white and uh gosport is the it used to be before it was water logged it used to be forest and it and inhabited with people and there are parts of the area this chap told me that you can go to When the tide is out and you can see the old tree stumps you can actually see them because the water's darker or some something he said so I'm absolutely without a Shadow of Doubt want to go there next Thursday I'm really Keen to try that out um but also the Driftwood so I I found some recycled Driftwood models things that people had made with the Driftwood and they excited me greatly people are making Thrones for your garden out of Driftwood fantastic um thousands of pounds and I thought wow that's really adding a lot of value I mean I I'm not much of a carpenter it would be difficult for me to make from scratch something like that but it wouldn't be difficult to get the chair and then to adhes is that a word adhere God I'm visualizing here that the throne that I would make it wouldn't be beyond my cap capabilities to to you know glue basically glue bits of Driftwood all over the chair and create something other something up upcycled something rather fantastic and I'm I'm really Keen to give it a go I over the moon that I found something that that's kind of fidly fiddly and therapeutic but different to Denim because the denims I'm kind of bored of the denim now um so the other thing is you can just get bits of Driftwood and bits of drift Driftwood once they're dried out they they're either soft or hardwood you can tell by pting your nail in and Crafters love them Crafters love Driftwood so the more unusual the shape or I'll tell you who uses Driftwood t

Homegrown businesses in Africa are developing a new industry to tackle the environmental damage created by fast fashion. Upcycling, where poor-quality, discarded clothes are made into desirable products, is becoming more widespread in countries like Kenya, supported by the social enterprise group Africa Collect Textiles. Here workers are earning an income and forging a sustainable industry. African countries like Kenya often bear the brunt of fast fashion waste. The group Clean Up Kenya says the country imports around 200,000 tons of used textiles each year. Africa Collect Textiles (ACT), which operates in Nigeria as well as Kenya, says the problem is that many developing countries lack the infrastructure to dispose of textile waste in an environmentally friendly way. ACT focuses on processing textile waste. It's set up collection bins in high-traffic areas like malls and universities where people can easily dispose of old clothes. These are collected, and in the workshop, they're sorted according to their quality and wearability. ACT's Natalie Naina says, "Since our goal is to extend fabric life, we have created a reseller program outside Nairobi where these clothes can still go ahead in circularity by vendors who would want cheaper options of bales (referring to bundles of clothes) rather than the more expensive ones in Gikomba (one of Kenya's largest clothes markets). Then for our non-wearables, we have repurposed them through upcycling. Upcycling involves getting a cloth that is worn out and then transforming it into a better product where it can survive for longer." Naina says even donated clothes often end up in landfills and that's what the organization is trying to avoid. On its website, Africa Collect Textiles claims that since it was set up in 2020 it has collected nearly 200,000 kilograms of clothes, saved 1,200 tons of carbon and created 200 jobs for local people.

Repurposing & Upcycling for Preppers | Episode 351 In a world where waste is abundant and resources can be scarce, learning how to repurpose and upcycle everyday items is a vital skill for preppers. Not only does it save money, but it also enhances self-sufficiency and sustainability. In this episode, we'll explore creative ways to repurpose common household items for survival, homesteading, and emergency preparedness. Why Repurposing Matters Repurposing isn't just about saving money—it's about making the most of what you have and reducing waste. In a survival scenario, the ability to adapt and innovate using limited resources can mean the difference between comfort and hardship. By upcycling, you give new life to old materials while keeping them out of landfills. Household Items with New Uses Glass Jars – Use them for food storage, DIY oil lamps, or fermenting vegetables. Plastic Bottles – Turn them into water filters, seed starters, or emergency water storage. Tin Cans – Create camp stoves, candle holders, or small storage containers. Old Clothes & Fabric – Repurpose for insulation, rags, or even patching gear. DIY Fire Starters Creating homemade fire starters is easy and ensures you always have a reliable way to make fire. Some simple and effective methods include: Dryer lint and wax-stuffed egg cartons Cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly Sawdust mixed with melted wax Upcycled Water Storage & Filtration Instead of throwing away old food-grade containers, repurpose them into emergency water storage. Use 2-liter soda bottles for water purification systems or build a rainwater collection system using barrels. Homemade Tools & Gear Preppers are known for their ingenuity. With some creativity, you can make survival tools from scrap materials: Paracord belts – Woven belts or bracelets for emergency cordage. DIY fishing kit – Use soda can tabs as fishing hooks. Homemade knives – Repurpose old saw blades into knives or tools. Garden & Compost Hacks Gardening is a cornerstone of self-sufficiency, and repurposing materials can make it even more cost-effective: Turn plastic tubs into self-watering planters. Use eggshells and coffee grounds as natural fertilizers. Convert old tires into raised garden beds. Repurposing Old Electronics Even broken electronics have valuable parts: Salvage batteries and wiring for DIY solar setups. Turn an old car alternator into a small wind turbine. Use old laptops for emergency communication setups. Creative DIY Lighting If the grid goes down, lighting is essential. Some creative upcycling ideas include: Mason jar solar lights. Oil lamps using cooking oil and a wick. Repurposing broken flashlights into LED lanterns. Final Thoughts Repurposing and upcycling is more than just a frugal practice—it's a mindset that helps preppers stay resilient and resourceful. With a little creativity, everyday items can serve multiple purposes, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Tune in to Episode 351 for a deep dive into these DIY survival skills!

Our new episode features Heather Jiang MBA '16, founder of Allegorie, a small-batch accessory company that turns discarded fruits into beautiful wallets, bags and backpacks. The bags reduce food waste and greenhouse gas emissions and are designed and created in New York City's garment district.

Upcycle: “The act of taking something no longer useful to you and giving it a second life and new function so that the finished product becomes more practical, valuable, and beautiful than it was.”  Like turning wooden pallets into patio furniture, leaving a boring job for a new challenge, or saving your kitchen scraps to make beautiful compost. Have you upcycled a relationship lately? What needs to be upcycled in your life? In this episode of the Odyssey Storytelling Podcast, seven storytellers relate their experiences of Upcycling. Those storytellers include: Harrison Orr Natasha Winnik Mohammed Al-Sammak Lynne Gillette Jonathan Grinder Carmelene Melani Siani Produced and curated by Penelope Starr and Adam Hostetter This episode was recorded and produced by Odyssey Storytelling Podcast host, Steven Braun

Meet Garik Himebaugh, the founder of Eco-Stylist.com, a site dedicated to promoting sustainable fashion choices. Garik's journey into the world of sustainable fashion began with a background in peace studies and an MBA, and he discovered social entrepreneurship as a grad student and launched Eco-Stylist in 2018. There, he helps consumers make informed, sustainable fashion choices with a directory of brands that meet his criteria for ethical production and environmental responsibility.encouraging individuals to "dress like you give a damn." He was kind enough to contribute a recent article on Earth911, How to Build the Sustainable Wardrobe of Your Dreams. He points to how the fast fashion crisis is burying some countries in the global south in synthetic trash that can take decades or centuries to breakdown into potentially toxic plastic byproducts. Garik joined the Sustainability In Your Ear conversation to discuss how to check the sustainability claims made by clothing companies, the power of reuse and upcycling as a way to reduce your personal environmental impact, and his favorite responsible fashion brands, including Adelante, Outerknown, Naadam, and Patagonia.Fast fashion is a plague on the planet and your wallet. Fast fashion is responsible for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions and nearly 20% of wastewater production, according to the World Economic Forum. The World Resources Institute reports that producing just one cotton shirt uses approximately 713 gallons of water — that's enough water to meet one person's drinking needs for over two years. But, hey, you get a $10 shirt instead. The fast fashion industry is so destructive that the U.S. Government Accounting Office wrote in December 2024 that the nation needs a coordinated effort to reduce textile waste and promote recycling. But we can dress for success and the planet. Garik explains that the brands he admires “take responsibility for their clothes” by making them with organic and sustainable materials, providing repairs and take-back programs, as well as delivering durable products that can be made to last. You can learn more about sustainable fashion and shop Garik's curated selection of clothing at https://Eco-Stylist.com.Subscribe to Sustainability in Your Ear on iTunes and Apple Podcasts.Follow Sustainability in Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTubeCheck out previous Earth911 interviews about sustainable fashionEarth911 Podcast: EVRNU's Stacy Flynn On Creating Circular Fiber For Sustainable FashionBest of Earth911 Podcast: The Apparel Impact Institute's Kurt Kipka Maps the Path to Sustainable FashionEarth911 Podcast: tentree CEO Derrick Emsley on Sustainable Fashion & ReforestationBest of Earth911 Podcast: Keel Labs' Tessa Gallagher Introduces Kelsun Kelp-Based TextilesBest of Earth911 Podcast: Mike Baker's ReCORK Recycling Puts The Circular Into FootwearBest of Earth911 Podcast: Cotapaxi Partners With Customers & Suppliers To Achieve Sustainability

As with any production process, the production of food leads to by-products that are discarded. But are we doing enough to put these products to use and avoid waste? In this episode of the podcast, recorded live at the Food Matters Live event in Manchester in November 2024, we examine the transformative potential of upcycled food, including its economic, environmental, and societal impact.  What more can governments do the incentivize upcycling in the food industry? How do we get the food industry to work together to help solve the waste issue? And how much waste is too much waste? We hear from leading experts in this field and learn about some exciting real-world examples of collaboration between businesses, policymakers, and academics. Upcycling is just one piece of the broader sustainability puzzle, but it is an important one.  Guests: Alessandro Biraglia, Associate Professor of Marketing, Leeds University Amanda Oenbring, Chief Executive Officer, Upcycled Food Association

A Rotorua retirement community has been spreading some early Christmas cheer by doing up old and broken bicycles so they look good as new, then giving them to delighted school children. Arvida Glenbrae residents say the project has taken on a life of its own, and they've now given out dozens of bikes to kids and local charities. The retirees say they enjoy drawing on their decades worth of DIY knowledge, and of course seeing happy youngsters zooming off on their new wheels. Luka Forman has more.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Jon Goriup, Co-Founder and CEO of VCG AI, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way industries think about waste and sustainability. Jon and his team are pioneering an innovative approach to transforming industrial byproducts into valuable resources, helping companies cut emissions and uncover new revenue streams in the process.We delve into the mechanics of circular value chains, where waste becomes an asset rather than a liability. Jon explains how VCG AI uses cutting-edge data analytics and AI to map material flows, evaluate waste streams, and recommend optimal upcycling processes—saving companies time and resources while delivering tangible economic and environmental benefits.Some of the key highlights include:The shift in mindset as companies realise the economic potential of waste and embrace circular supply chains.Real-world examples, such as transforming spent grains and yeast from breweries into high-value food ingredients.How AI accelerates decision-making and implementation, allowing firms to move from analysis to action quickly and effectively.The challenges companies face, from navigating complex regulations to addressing non-core business activities, and how these can be mitigated.The role of collaboration across supply chains and how VCG AI is enabling large-scale circular transformations, even at the regional level.Jon also shares how industries and governments can work together to accelerate this transition, the KPIs that matter most, and the broader implications for sustainability globally.If you're curious about how technology is reshaping sustainability or looking to gain practical insights iElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Aujourd'hui, Jeane vous propose le troisième et dernier volet d'une collaboration entre la Chambre Régionale de l'Économie Sociale et Solidaire d'Auvergne Rhône-Alpes et Basilic. Aujourd'hui, à l'échelle nationale en France, plus de 57% des textiles collectés dans les bornes de tri sont exportés à l'étranger. C'est pour enrayer ce phénomène que le projet Textile 360 de l'association Tremplin a vu le jour.Tremplin est une association qui a été créée en 1987 par un groupe de personnes qui a voulu mettre à l'abri des gens par un hiver de grand froid. Dans un premier temps, il a été question de leur proposer un logement puis un emploi. Aujourd'hui, Tremplin est une association qui regroupe un hébergement d'urgence, des restaurants solidaires, une activité traiteur, un centre de tri textile...L'année dernière, l'association Tremplin a inauguré le projet Textile 360. Virginie Belle est en charge de ce projet au sein de l'association Tremplin. Le déchet textile est une ressource ! C'est tout l'enjeu du nouveau dispositif Textile 360. Textile 360 est une démarche de rupture avec le fonctionnement actuel de la filière du déchet textile. Elle réunit des acteurs locaux autour des objectifs suivants : - 100% des textiles usagés, collectés sur l'agglomération, traités dans la région soit par le réemploi, soit par le recyclage soit par une autre forme de valorisation. - Zéro textile usagé à l'exportation.Ressources :Association Tremplin : https://www.tremplin01.org/ Rapport Refashion : télécharger CRESS AURA : https://www.cress-aura.org/Soutenir Basilic :instagram.com/basilicpodcast/basilicpodcast.comProduction : Jeane ClesseMusique : @KleinGraphisme : Mahaut Clément & Coralie ChauvinMix : Jeane Clesse Si cet épisode vous a plu, n'hésitez pas à laisser plein d'étoiles et un commentaire sur la plateforme Apple Podcasts et surtout à vous abonner grâce à votre application de podcasts préférée !

On today's show, we're chatting with Anne and Nashalae. Anne Whiting is an upcycled fashion designer, sustainable fashion activist, and writer. She is also a longtime volunteer and mentor for young people with Free Arts NYC, an organization that provides arts programming for youth – including arts internship placements.  Through Free Arts NYC and her upcycled brand, Anne James New York, Anne has worked with several high school and college-aged interns teaching them about the pillars of sustainable fashion and upcycling. She loves helping her interns create their own capsule collections using NYC secondhand shops like Goodwill and BigReuse as their source materials.  So, she reached out to do an episode with one of her former interns, Nashalae Martin, and suggested we could chat about how Gen-Z and the next generations learn about sustainable fashion. Nashalae is a recent graduate of FIT, and has held several fashion-related internships, including with Anne and Anne James New York. I loved hearing how she thinks about thrifting, where she learned about sustainable fashion in the first place, and how she thinks we need to expand the definition of sustainable fashion education.  This is such an interesting chat about how this movement connects with younger audiences  – so, let's dive right into it! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [4:01] While Anne grew up during the fast fashion boom, she also loved thrifting with her grandmother.  [7:57] Nashalae found an eventual love of fashion design through a love of art. [10:38] Anne works with Free Arts NYC, an organization that provides arts programming for youth – including arts internship placements.  [20:23] How young people like Nashalae get their sustainable fashion education. [23:48] The two truths that young people love to thrift and they also love fast fashion. [27:18] Expanding the idea of sustainable fashion education. [35:33] Personal style and favorite pre-loved pieces.
