On this episode of Unspun, Marisa Adler, Senior Consultant at Resource Recycling Systems (RRS), joins Danielle, Lauren, and Catherine for a conversation about overconsumption and textile waste, recycling, and what’s holding us back from a circular system.

From studying national resource management conservation in school to working for local solid waste departments and the NYC Department of Sanitation, Marisa Adler brings a waste and recycling perspective to textile circularity. Several years ago, Adler moved from the NYC Department of Sanitation to her current position at RRS where she primarily focuses on textiles, fashion apparel, and upholstery waste in the U.S.

To hear more of Marisa Adler’s expertise regarding global waste supply chains, what is necessary to create scalable recycling systems, and solutions she has seen, tune into the latest episode of Unspun.
