ThreadLoop: A Neighborhood Fabric Offcut and Unclaimed Garment Exchange

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

Local tailors, dry cleaners and thrift shops throw away usable fabric because sorting it costs more time than they have, while sewing groups, theater costume shops and schools can't find affordable fabric in useful quantities. ThreadLoop skips new recycling tech and uses disciplined neighborhood logistics and grading to turn leftovers into dependable monthly bundles.
