Ep. 53: Unlocking Textile Recovery in a Data-Driven System w/ Jennifer Wang, & Traci Kinden
Notas do episódio
In this episode of Recycled Content, host Kara Pochiro hands hosting duties over to Marisa Adler, a leader at the intersection of textile recovery systems, data, and policy and the lead for the Textile Recovery Summit taking place alongside the Plastics Recycling Conference and Resource Recycling Conference this February. Marisa is joined by Traci Kinden of TexRoad and Jennifer Wang of Full Cycle Resources to unpack what "data" really means in textile recovery, where today's information comes from, and why gaps in end-market and operational data can create real risk for policy, investment, and system design. They also dig into the realities of collecting data in informal markets, why trust and incentives matter, and what it will take to build better measurement and accountability across the textile value chain.
Many of these themes will continue at the Textile Recovery Summit, February 23–25 in San Diego. For more information, visit: https://www.textilerecoverysummit.com/.
