ReThreadDC Launch Event
Who: Department of Energy & Environment
What: On average, textiles like clothing, bed linens, towels, and rags comprise more than 5% of what the District sends to the landfill, costing the city more than $200,000 a year to manage the disposal of these items. But — most of these items still have plenty of life in them. That’s why DOEE is proud to launch ReThread DC, an initiative designed to equip residents with the tools and resources needed to part with their unwanted textiles in a more responsible, sustainable way. Join us for a kickoff event and connect with the people, nonprofits, and businesses who are helping convert unwanted clothing and other textiles into new resources.
