6: The Second Life of Clothes

Cynthia Power, who leads the Renew program at Eileen Fisher, takes us on a tour of The Tiny Factory, a space where discarded, used Eileen Fisher clothing is given a second life. As a clothing company, Eileen Fisher is setting the standard for what circularity can look like in the apparel industry, turning used clothes into new clothes, into new fabrics, and into decorative housewares. We also get a tutorial about the possibilities, and limits, of recycling fabric. Music by EJ Cali and DJ Synchro, produced at Building Beats.
