Fabscrap is a New York-based company that reclaims textile waste from big-name fashion brands and recycles it for reuse. The company collects discarded material at their warehouse where it is processed and consolidated. The smaller scraps of material are used to create insulation, carpet padding, furniture lining and more, whereas the bigger pieces are organized by colour in their shop and are available for purchase to students, artists, crafters, and other designers to reuse.
