Fashion waste is polluting the planet, over 50 million tones of post-consumer waste is generated each year, most of which ends in landfill or is incinerated off-shore. In the UK, we generate around 1 million of waste and much of this waste is exported to low income regions, such as East Africa, who do not have the infrastructure to deal it. This results in large-scale landfill and open incineration being the end-of-life outcome for over 95% of fashion products.Unfortunately today, less than 1% of fashion waste is recycled, due to technical and commercial issues associated with textile-to-textile recycling.To address this urgent environmental issue, we are scaling-up our unique textile-to-board upcycling technology to demonstrate the technical feasibility of converting a significant proposition of the UK's textile waste into valuable new materials for furniture and construction applications.This is a global solution and our ultimate aim is to eliminate Fashion waste from landfill and incineration worldwide.

时尚废物正在污染地球，每年产生超过5000万吨消费后废物，其中大部分最终被填埋或在海上焚烧。在英国，我们产生大约100万件垃圾，其中大部分被出口到低收入地区，比如东非，这些地区没有处理垃圾的基础设施。这导致超过95%的时尚产品被大规模填埋和露天焚烧。不幸的是，今天，由于与纺织品回收有关的技术和商业问题，只有不到1%的时尚废料被回收利用。为了解决这一紧迫的环境问题，我们正在扩大我们独特的纺织品到纸板的升级回收技术，以证明将英国纺织废料转化为家具和建筑应用中有价值的新材料的技术可行性。这是一个全球性的解决方案，我们的最终目标是消除全球范围内填埋和焚烧的时尚垃圾。
