One important component of transforming the Ohio River Valley of Appalachia into a hub for sustainable manufacturing, under the Appalachian Manufacturing Action Plan, involves changing the way we manufacturer and reuse priority products like textiles. At this virtual session, ReImagine Appalachia, the Central Appalachian Network and the Appalachian Re-Use Working Group held a panel discussion on different approaches to minimize textile waste going to landfills. Learn from Appalachian based businesses about sustainable materials manufacturing and upcycling textiles.
