Sip and Sort: Circular Philadelphia x FABSCRAP

Join Circular Philadelphia at FABSCRAP‘s South Philly location in the Bok Building for an evening of (literally) digging into textile circularity while enjoying drinks, snacks, and great conversation.

After an introduction to FABSCRAP, whose mission is to end commercial textile waste and maximize the value of unused fabric, attendees will learn how to sort fabrics based on a number of different parameters for reuse, resale, and recycling. Then, they will participate in a low-key, hands-on sort while chatting with other attendees and enjoying beverages and light fare.

At the end of the event, attendees will have the option to take home fabric as a thank-you for the sorting they did.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about textiles, circular fashion, and what it actually takes to ensure that fabric and garments are responsibly managed so they don’t just end up in a landfill or incinerator. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of the nuances related to textile fiber makeup, the commercial fashion industry, and the complexity of transitioning to a circular textile system.
