#33. Textiles is the new plastic - Vibeke Krohn

Did you know that the textile industry is responsible for more than 8% of the total Co2 emissions, which is more than both airplanes and boats?

Im wondering why we dont talk more about our own overconsumption of clothes and the industry that encourages us to consume way to much clothes. We are fuelling an industry that is both destroying our planet and creates large islands of clothes in landfills all over the world.

Its about time we as consumers take action and its about time companies within the industry does the same.

Finally this week, we got the great news with passing of new legislation in Norway that makes it easier to sell reused clothes and other products. Hopefully that will take us some steps on the way.

One of the companies that also tries to take us there, and which has had worldwide success with their recycling of plastic bottles, is Tomra. Now they are aiming to conquer the textile industry and make it circular.

This week we are lucky to get to speak to Vibeke Krohn, who has taken on the important role as CEO for Tomra textiles. She has a passion for creating a better world and making sure we use our resources wisely and hopefully over and over again.

So if you are curious on how we can change one of the worst industries and how you can contribute. Then tune in to this weeks episode of A regenerative future.

With Tomra´s previous success with plastic bottles, Im hopeful that they will contribute to make one of the worst industries become a bit better.

Lets all be a part of the change and do our share fare in consuming less!
