FABCYCLE is a collection service for textile waste. Our mission is to divert textile waste from the landfill by finding creative solutions, promoting the sustainable mindset of waste as a resource. We work directly with Vancouver apparel manufacturers like factories, fashion designers and schools to collect their scraps, off-cuts, deadstock and ends of rolls that are left during the production process.
We also have an online store where we offer the materials collected from the apparel industry for free or at highly reduced prices.
Additionally, we operate a Textile Waste ReUSE Centre in Vancouver. The purpose of the ReUSE Centre is to provide an open and inclusive physical space for the local creative community to come together and experiment with textile waste. We encourage artists, designers and creative minds of all skill levels, backgrounds, orientations and identities to experiment with scraps and deadstock fabric and come up with innovative and exciting ideas to divert textile waste from the landfill.
