Circularity through resale and repairs - Behind the Green with Peter Whitcomb of Tersus Solutions

Behind the Green

“Different brands are in different parts of their journey. For a lot of brands, resale makes a ton of sense because there’s a ton of waste. And the brands that are further along in their sustainability journey are tapping into their waste to continue to build these new closets through repair and resale. However, there’s still a lot of work to be done. How do you match action to the goals? And what can really be achieved which is where technology gets really interesting."

About Tersus Solutions

Tersus Solutions was founded in 2009 in Denver, CO to help close the loop on textile circularity. While they didn't start that way, they are now leaders in this space. They utilize their own developed machines and have created processes that are advanced and effective to keep textiles in use as resale and/or through repair. Through Tersus Solutions processes, we can drastically reduce the textile industry’s environmental impact by utilizing a closed-loop cleaning system that preserves water and electricity, captures microfibers, and ultimately extends the life of textiles. Over the course of the last 11 years, Tersus Solutions has been at the forefront of innovation in the use of LCO2 and ultimately keeping textiles out of landfills or being incinerated.
