Every year, nearly 100 billion items of clothing are produced – and 65% of them end up in a landfill within 12 months. New technologies in textile recycling may be able to curb that waste – while producing a host of sustainable materials.

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

In Cambodia with @browngirl_green / @tonledesign <3
This trip has been so restorative. It’s Jackfruit Season over here. These giant large fruits are so delicious and today I was able to distinguish the difference between durian and jackfruit. The fun fact of the day is that many places here ban durian on trains, hotels, or public spaces because of the smell.
Yesterday, we got to learn more about Tonlé dying processes for the collections they made! Making natural dye is part of many Cambodian cultures and we went to the local market to make yellow dye using just some raw materials from the market (salt like crystal, and turmeric). They also have a local textile warehouse that resells fabric from other large manufacturers.
For the last few days, I’ve been filming for this project with Tonlé Design and I've been able to meet so many Cambodian creatives changing the landscape here in Phenom Penh.
It's been amazing to leave America for a while. The culture here is so playful and communal, it reminds me that new ways to live are within reach. The US machine is ceaseless and has all of the money in the world, so just existing in the country and our culture is often exhausting.
I can’t wait to share more in the future about what we are working on!

and suddenly I am a depop seller
I have been selling clothes from my closet for a very long time at this point. Not very seriously, just as a passive income to experiment more with my wardrobe. Over time I became more aware of the fashion industry's effect on the environment. Thrifting became one of my favorite hobbies and it is impossible to ignore the quality difference between current fast fashion and clothes that were made 20+ years ago. And the more I have learned, the more passionate I have become about both collecting and selling these items. I truly believe that "reselling" (however controversial that word may seem) is one of the most ethical jobs that a person can have in these almost apocalyptic times. (At least it feels apocalyptic to me.) So basically I have gone from a passive seller to someone who is trying to become a full time seller.
Throughout this time I have had another job and even though my sales on depop the last month have been down, I have been hoping that I would be able to quit and pursue my passion very soon. Unexpectedly, my employer is most likely changing ownership and I will soon be given the chance to leave. And while I feel excited, I also feel scared as hell. It’s kind of feeling as if the rug has been pulled beneath me. Do I fall or do I land on my feet? At the worst, I start applying at other local second hand stores and work in a field that is more interesting to me.
This puts me in a unique position where I almost desperately and passionately have to advertise my shop. It’s not something that comes easy because I worry about being annoying or how other people who aren’t neck deep in learning about the effects that textile waste has on the planet will think of me. But I want to prove to myself that I can succeed and I (no matter how fucking difficult it may be) can step up to the plate.

Joline Jolink makes biodegradable fashion: 'Fashion should not be at the expense of the earth'
Joline Jolink in front of her shop in Rotterdam.
From vegan grape leather sandals to a biodegradable linen jacket. The Rotterdam fashion designer Joline Jolink hopes to change the fashion industry from within. “Everyone sees that things can no longer go on like this.”
Joline Jolink started her label in 2006, after completing her fashion studies at the Artez and Fashion Institute Arnhem.[1] “Everyone said: there is little market for fashion in the Netherlands, you have to go abroad for that. So I did. But soon I started to think differently about it.” Around her, she sees how mass-produced clothing is sold at an ever lower price and what consequences this has for the makers of the clothing and the planet. “The more I learned about it, the more I realised that this is not a sustainable situation for the future. Things need to change,” she says.
Sail your own course
She decided to steer her own course and to do business according to her own values. In 2008 she became the first Dutch designer with her own web shop and was no longer dependent on buyers. In order to “break free from the system” even further, she also stopped sales in 2016 and campaigned against Black Friday.[2] “I produce as sustainably as possible and make timeless products. By consciously not making too much, a sale is not necessary.”
With the design of a vegan sneaker in 2019, she takes another step. In 2021 she will launch the sale of second-hand clothing under the name New Love. And this year, the vegan grape leather sandal and a biodegradable linen jacket will be added. “I want to show that it is possible, that it is possible to make more sustainable choices. That you can include consumers in that process. I still think fashion is magical and design is still fantastic, even within the 'limitations' I have imposed on myself. There are always options, if you are creative. Fashion should not be at the expense of other people or the earth.”
Grape leather sandal
After launching vegan sneakers, biodegradable sneakers and apple leather sneakers and boots followed. [3] This year, Jolink adds grape leather sandals to its collection. The grape leather comes from Portugal, where it is processed in a family business. “The slide slipper is tough and chunky. Grape leather is made from residual flows from the wine industry. It is a nice alternative to materials that are made entirely from fossil raw materials or animal skins,” she explains.
The slippers consist of 55 percent grape residues and other natural fibres from agriculture and 45 percent water-based polyurethane. Jolink: “These sandals are largely composed of renewable and recycled plant materials. They are 100 percent vegan, human and animal friendly.”
Biodegradable jacket
In collaboration with The Linen Project[4] and Enschede Textielstad[5], Jolink also launched a biodegradable jacket a few weeks ago. “It is made from Dutch linen, the flax of which grew on the Horsterhof farm in Duiven[6]. Organic cotton stitching thread has been used and no zippers or buttons have been added. The labels are printed with natural paint. This makes the design biodegradable. After hopefully a hundred years or so, after being worn and passed on, it can go back into the ground. The material is then once again food for the earth.”
She is very proud of this project. “With this we show that it is possible to achieve a beautiful end product with a local chain for raw materials. It is a very precious material, but as a designer I have decided that it is important to me that this story is told,” she says.
Don't stay unique
Her ultimate dream is that she will not remain unique in the use of these types of materials. “By investing in such a linen jacket, I want to show everyone: look, it is possible. It would be fantastic if a larger party, with much more impact, also tacks after me. When chains decide to make more sustainable choices. I throw the ball up, but I hope that I actually set something in motion. I don't want to be unique in this," she says.

[1] The four-year bachelor course Fashion Design, a component of the faculty Art & Design at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem, has a long and illustrious history. The department of Fashion Design and Fashion Illustration was founded in 1953 by Dutch fashion legend Elly Lamaker, and despite its humble beginnings, soon established its rightful place in the eyes of existing visual art institutes, the fashion industry, and comparable international design programmes. The fashion programme of ArtEZ Art & Design Arnhem continues to set the standard for education to this day. Since that time, the Fashion Design department at ArtEZ has continuously thrived. A highly skilled team of more than 20 lecturers stands ready to share their expertise with the 100-plus students, both local and international. There are two freshmen classes with 20 students each, and class sizes in the subsequent years vary between 20 and 25 students. https://arnhemfashiondesign.nl/en/information
[2] Black Friday is a colloquial term for the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season in the United States. Many stores offer highly promoted sales at discounted prices and often open early, sometimes as early as midnight[2] or even on Thanksgiving. Some stores' sales continue to Monday ("Cyber Monday") or for a week ("Cyber Week"). Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States

[4] Initiated by ArtEZ MA Practice Held in Common and Crafts Council Nederland in 2018, The Linen Project investigates and works towards reactivating the economic viability of small-scale local flax cultivation and linen production in the Netherlands. The Linen Project’s various activities are developed with a view to its broader relevance. Establishing a dynamic environment for research and production, the learning by doing approach to all stages and forms of flax and linen production unites and highlights the value of our natural, social and cultural resources. https://thelinenproject.online/about/
[5] Enschede Textielstad is an industrial weaving mill where fabrics for the fashion and interior industry are produced with natural and local yarns. It is our goal to produce as locally as possible and to provide brands that are already involved in sustainability and/or reshoring with high-quality fabrics in an accessible manner. We are currently developing fabrics such as chambray, canvas and upholstery fabrics for various brands and designers. Raw materials for this include recycled denim, recycled cotton (both post-industrial waste and post-consumer material), recycled PET, Tencel, hemp and flax. To indicate the possibilities, we have developed a small basic collection. However, we normally produce demand-driven. https://enschedetextielstad.nl/over-ons/
