Show Notes
In Hobart, a six-month trial called Rinse, Repair and Rewear is transforming the fate of discarded clothes. The City Mission is washing and mending items with minor issues, keeping more textiles out of landfill. Early results show promising success, with 42% of items washed and 11% repaired, including a rescued fur stole. If successful, this project could inspire a nationwide handbook and contribute to reducing textile waste.
