This workshop is funded in full by the City of San José Environmental Services Department’s Zero Waste Innovations Grant. The ZWIG Program supports creative, community-driven solutions that reduce waste while promoting sustainability and a circular economy. Textiles are one of the fastest-growing waste streams in California with over 1.2 million tons dumped annually.
Thanks to the ZWIG program, Habitat for Humanity ReStore is able to expand our existing reuse and recycling efforts to bring community-centered textile reuse solutions to the City of San José. Click here to learn more!
