In the past, clothing and textile recycling options for consumers have been limited, resulting in an accumulation of clothing in warehouses or overseas rather than being repurposed. Stacy Flynn, the CEO and co-founder of EVRNU, a B Corporation focused on textile innovations, is working to address this issue with Nucycl, a circular, recycled cotton fiber. In a crucial conversation, Stacy discusses the need for companies to take responsibility for the environmental impact of their products and move away from the take-make-waste approach in the fashion industry. By shifting the focus to creating durable, long-lasting clothing, a movement for sustainable clothing and textiles for both personal and professional use can be fostered.
Evrnu has made a significant impact in sustainable fashion by developing a technology that recycles cotton garment waste to create renewable fibers, such as Nucycl. This process breathes new life into discarded textiles, reducing the need for virgin resources and lessening waste and pollution. Nucycl, a biodegradable material made from cotton, can be tailored for various uses, from intimate apparel to waterproof outdoor gear. EVRNU is committed to pioneering environmentally responsible and economically viable solutions, with the goal of making all textiles recyclable by 2030 and achieving a net-neutral fashion industry by 2050.
