VISION
MISSION
13,000 tons or 26 million pounds of textiles are landfilled in Kent County each year.
It is 5-10X better economically, socially and environmentally to upcycle existing textiles than to landfill them.
(According to a study conducted by Foresight Management in 2021 on the impact of Public Thread textile waste diversion vs. landfilling)
85% of textile waste is left over from the manufacturing process (or what's called pre-waste)
Annually Public Thread X operations keep the equivalent of 300-400 cars off the road from the reduction of carbon (CO2) emissions.
Transforming 13,000 tons of textile waste in our community can have an impact of $10 Million annually.
We have diverted more than 150,000 pounds of textiles over the past 6+ years.
