92 million tons of textiles end up in landfills yearly, a truckload every second. Three speakers describe a closed-loop water system that recycles water during textile cleaning, using reverse osmosis and catalytic oxidation to keep it in circulation instead of dumping it.
We know that 92 million tons of textile waste globally is produced annually, and that is only projected to rise to 148 million tons by 2030. And that's the equivalent of one truckload into landfill every second.
It's very scary to think about how much is being produced out there and then how much is being left behind and is going into our ocean. 78% of consumers actually care. They care about sustainability and they want to purchase sustainable.
Last year we implemented a system which is a full fully closed-loop circular system. The technology behind it is reverse osmosis and catalytic wet air oxidation. We've now got a closed-loop system of water to clean clothes.
I'm doing what I'm doing for my children. I want them to have clean water to drink, clothes that aren't toxic to wear, and a planet to live on. I know I'm not stopping till I do. So never doubt that the choices of the actions that you take can and will go change the world.
