Turning fabric waste into opportunity
Our mission is to support the people collecting, diverting, and recycling fabric and restore communities in the world's fabric waste epicenters.
For Women
Over 400 million people globally work in the fashion industry, and women make up over 80% of this workforce. Yet, women continue to be significantly underrepresented in supervisory or management roles. At Fabricure, we require that our partner projects champion gender equality through their hiring, promotion, compensation, and employee benefits practices.
For Excluded Communities
For centuries, raw materials have been stripped from the Global South to make fabric goods in the Global North. Today, more than 85% of the 92 million tonnes of fabric waste generated in the Global North is then shipped back to the Global South as waste.
Our partner projects restore communities negatively impacted by this fabric waste offloading.
For the Planet
Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Global garment production accounts for over 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, 1.5 trillion liters of water consumed, and 190,000 tonnes of oceanic plastic pollution every year. With fashion consumption continually growing at alarming rates, the fabric waste crisis is one of the most pressing environmental crises of our time.
A new frontier for a proven offset model
While we are the first Fabric Credit solution in the world, we are modelled after the most rigorous plastic and carbon credit methodologies to create a game-changing approach to fabric waste.
A note about credits
We acknowledge that the credit model cannot be the only pathway to our shared goal of a fully circular fashion industry; we cannot "offset" our way out of a global waste crisis. Our Measure —> Reduce —> Contribute model encourages stakeholders to prioritise reducing fabric production and consumption first. Our Fabric Credit solution is designed for fabric waste that remains after reduction efforts have been implemented.
Female founded. Women owned.
After starting their careers in the fashion industry, international nonprofits, and climate tech, our co-founders, Payton and Clarabeth created Fabricure with two goals:
1. Solve the global fabric waste problem
2. Restore communities (disproportionately made up of women and children) negatively impacted by fabric waste
