Waste-Focused Textile Bins

Thunder Bay residents can now benefit from a new recycling program that will help reduce textile waste going to local landfills. The initiative, resulting from a partnership between EcoSuperior and another Chapleau-based startup, will see donations collected from businesses or individuals transformed into usable fibers through a unique shredding process. Other donations, provided they are gently used, will be distributed and resold online through Sic Sox Circular thrift store, which is also located in Chapleau.

"Diverting this material for re-sale or recycling it into usable materials will have tremendous benefits for the environment," said Kennedy Bucci, rethinking waste coordinator at EcoSuperior. "That's why we are so excited to be partnering with Sic Sox Circular, as they lead the way in textile waste diversion and recycling in Northern Ontario."
