A little background: Before textiles can be recycled, every piece has to pass through human hands. Textile waste often contains other materials (think metal zippers, paper tags, plastic sequin, and sticker labels), but only certain textiles can be recycled. That’s where FABSCRAP volunteers come in: sorting and deconstructing these materials (i.e., removing stickers and staples, cutting off paper headers and trims like zippers, buttons, and sequins, and placing everything in the proper bins), to ensure the textiles can be recycled. Even better, volunteers also sort for textiles that can be reused by the community, too!
