Turning Fashion Waste Into Renewal Through Innovation, Collaboration, And Circular Design
By Evan J. Cholfin
What if the clothes we wear could tell a story, not of waste, but of renewal?
In this episode of A Healthier, Happier You, I sit down with Paolo Sandri of Indorama Ventures to explore the evolving world of sustainable textiles. From their roots as a small wool startup to becoming a global force in circular solutions, Indorama is proving that meaningful change in fashion is possible, with the right mindset, innovation, and cross-industry collaboration.
Paolo shares what it really takes to move from aspiration to action, including:
♻️ Why chemical recycling is vital to achieving circularity
🧵 How bio-based and recycled materials are shaping future textiles
🌍 What decarbonizing feedstock by 2050 actually looks like
🪡 Why separate waste collection is the next big step
🤝 How partnerships across sectors unlock lasting impact
This episode is a deep dive into the systems, science, and social shifts behind circular fashion. But more than that, it’s a call to action for companies, consumers, and policymakers to join forces in closing the loop.
Whether you’re in fashion, sustainability, or just want to better understand where your clothes come from and where they go, this one’s for you.
Everyone has a role to play in reimagining what we wear and how we wear it.
