With growing recognition that the fashion & apparel industry is a large contributor to our waste crisis, we are fortunate to have creative minds working on practical solutions – many of them incorporating reuse models. Host Brooking Gatewood sits down with Lewis Perkins, President of the Apparel Impact Institute and 2023 Reusies judge, to explore these opportunities, which his organization is helping to build and bring to fruition. With decades of experience in cradle-to-cradle solutions for textiles and apparel, Lewis shares a bit of his story, some of the more exciting sustainable developments in carpet and clothing – such as scaling impact through pooled funding – and why being a Reusies Judge lights him up!
