In this episode, Heidi interviews Nehal from After and how After is tackling textile waste. . Every year, Australians send over 200,000 tonnes of clothing to landfill, and globally, the fashion industry is responsible for 92 million tonnes of waste annually. Most of it is made from synthetic fibers that take hundreds of years to break down, polluting our land and oceans with microplastics.
That’s where after. comes in. after. is an Australian platform revolutionizing textile recycling and responsible disposal by connecting consumers and businesses with sustainable solutions for unwanted clothing and fabric waste. Whether it’s through recycling, repurposing, or ethical disposal, after. is working to keep textiles out of landfill and in the circular economy. Since its launch, they’ve already diverted over 30 tonnes of textiles from waste—proving that small actions can lead to big impact.
In this episode, we sit down with Nehal J., co-founder of after., to talk about the urgent problem of textile waste, the barriers to sustainable fashion, and how we can all be part of the solution. As well, Nehal gives us advice about how to start your own company on problems that you care about.
Let’s rethink waste, reshape industries, and reimagine a more sustainable future—together.
