ThreadLoop: Neighborhood Garment Sorting and Fiber Recovery Hubs

ThreadLoop: Neighborhood Garment Sorting and Fiber Recovery Hubs

Circular Economy • Local • Difficulty: Medium • Starting capital: €10k – €50k • Time to revenue: 3 months

Tailors, dry cleaners and secondhand shops pay for general waste pickup on mixed-fiber garments nobody can resell, because no affordable neighborhood service sorts and de-trims them for recyclers. ThreadLoop turns a local workshop into a hub that sorts by fiber and strips trims, so clean input reaches recyclers instead of landfill.
