ECO-FACTORIES
Why this matters?
Our goal is to divert fibers from the waste stream, sort them into useful stockpiles, create replicable, sustainable green jobs, and manufacture renewable material products that clean our waterways.

We created this model factory site to make hair mats and have exhibits on clean air, water, energy, and ideal materials.
We are collaborating with other hubs throughout the US and beyond so that donors have many places to send fibers and the shipping costs and carbon footprint can be much lower.
Our goal is to promote local waste fiber collection and felting wherever there are harbors, ports, bays or simply storm drains. We’d like to think collecting waste fibers from salons and groomers will be the new “paper route-
