What if you had a business that reduced waste and helped the environment? The Material Return in Morganton, NC is working to create a circular textile economy, taking back textile waste and turning it into new products. Bob Carswell, the Director of Research and Development for The Material Return, joins hosts Jeff Neuville and Gary Muller to discuss how his company works with manufacturers, brands, and consumers to keep waste from clogging our landfills.
