Problem
The fashion and interior design industries generate significant textile waste, including pre-consumer scraps, deadstock, and end-of-roll materials, which often end up in landfills or are incinerated. Many businesses lack sustainable solutions for managing this waste, hindering circular economy practices and contributing to environmental pollution.
Solution
Yodomo provides a textile reuse platform that connects businesses with sustainable waste management solutions and offers affordable materials to makers. The company consults with businesses to analyze waste streams, implement waste reduction strategies, and facilitate internal workshops on textile reuse and recycling. Yodomo redistributes usable materials to a network of creative reuse hubs, artists, and designers, enabling the creation of new products from surplus textiles. When reuse is not feasible, Yodomo partners with recycling services to ensure responsible processing and diversion from landfills.
Target Audience
