Re-circulating textile waste: VAER Founder Lili Dreyer's Entrepreneurial Path towards Circular Fashion

Green Fika Pod

This episode is about Lili's journey of closing the loop through upcycling, which tends to be overlooked because it requires specific production methods. VAER came up with a process to upcycle textiles and turn them into stylish sneakers. Lili talks about the systematic errors of the fashion industry: overconsumption, that we use the clothes we buy for a short period of time on average and that garments are not created with circularity in mind. VAER fills these gaps by offering sneakers made from upcycled textiles that can be fully recycled after use.
