Learn more and request an invitation: https://ohio.materialsmarketplace.org/updates/2020/8/13/september-1st-great-lakes-circular-materials-roundtable-textiles According to a recent whitepaper published by RRS\, the growth of textile waste in the US is outpacing the growth of every other major category of waste. Textile waste increased 78% by weight between 2000 and 2017\, while the waste stream as a whole grew 10% over the same time period. Scaling solutions and end-markets to meet this growing challenge will require gathering more data on textile supplies\, development of new standards and specifications\, and the creation and support of new value propositions that work for solution providers\, manufacturers and brands. If you have recurring supplies of textile materials available\, have an end-market or solution provider in your network\, or can help Great Lakes businesses keep textiles out of the landfill - we'd love for you to join this conversation on September 1st! Speakers for the event have been selected from the Materials Marketplace network and will present on existing and emerging end-markets for textiles\, and Materials Marketplace listings for these types of materials that could be redirected to recycling or reuse. Speakers include: Janay Brower\, Founder/President at Public Thread Nick Carlson\, Vice President of Donated Goods Operations at Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids Marisa Adler\, Senior Consultant at Resource Recycling Systems Kari Bliss\, Customer Experience & Sustainability at PADNOS Madeline Walker\, CEO & Founder at NexTiles X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Great Lakes Circular Materials Roundtable: Textiles
