Textile Waste Consulting & Sustainability Workshops
Circular Thrift provides textile waste consulting and sustainability workshops for communities, businesses, and municipalities seeking practical, actionable ways to reduce waste and keep clothing in circulation longer. Our consulting and training services focus on building reuse systems that are simple, scalable, and grounded in real-world experience.
With over 30 years of global fashion experience, hands-on community organizing, and proven results—including leading Ohio’s first textile waste pilot with SWACO—we help organizations implement effective circular economy and textile reuse strategies.
