The circular economy playbook, episode 20: Giving new life to textile waste with Nish Parekh

In this episode, Ali and Rachel interview guest Nish Parkekh, co-founder of KAPDAA – The Offcut Company. KAPDAA creates unique, sustainable products from the beautiful offcuts and excess materials generated by fashion and interior designers, textile weavers and mills.


Ali and Nish discuss how KAPDAA navigates the technical challenges of fibre-to-fibre processing, why the brand is diversifying into other parts of the supply chain to collect post-consumer waste, and why it's crucial that we develop the infrastructure and technology required to deal with our end-of-life textile processing here in the UK.
