Ben Kaminsky, Textile Recyclers Australia Pty Ltd, Co-Founder

Developing innovative fiber products to utilize even the smallest of fabric and yarn scraps that are left over in my studio. I’m currently designing several new products with second-hand fibers that so that I can be as close to zero waste as possible, and I can offer other designers and craft people a fully circular fiber product.

Challenge

Access to the machinery I need to breakdown all of my fiber scraps, and the space to keep all of my scraps until I can have them processed. Sampling products and scaling them are the other issues that have.

Need

Help with sustainably manufacturing my new fiber products, with both machinery access and the ability to scale the products. I then need assistance to get the product out there to the market, and stores that are willing to carry these fiber items.
