177. Making Textiles from Post-Consumer Recycled Materials with Wylie Robinson

In episode 177 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss what it takes to design high-quality outdoor gear using post-consumer recycled materials—everything from how they differ from virgin fibers to the limitations and challenges of working with them in technical products.

We’ll dig into how a commitment to sustainability shapes product development, where circularity fits into the broader picture, and whether today’s recycling systems are truly scalable for the textile industry.

We also discuss how consumers can better evaluate sustainability claims and what’s next in eco-innovation from brands like Rumpl.

Rumpl’s story began in the back of a van (literally) when its founders found themselves stranded in the cold during a ski and surf trip in California. Wrapped in sleeping bags and sipping whiskey, they realized the performance materials used in technical gear could be reimagined for everyday comfort.
